This website re-design for the St Vrain wedding venue goes down as one of my favorites to date! For the first time, I worked with a local client! Most of my clients have been all over the country from California to Florida so I rarely get to meet anyone in person. I’m obsessed with this wedding venue and it’s just minutes away from where I live. 

The owner, Annie is a delight and we were able to meet in person which has been really fun! We actually pressed launch on the site in a local coffee shop! Read on to learn more about this Showit Website Customization.

About the St Vrain, a romantic wedding venue near Boulder, Colorado

The St Vrain is an industrial chic wedding venue located in Longmont, Colorado. Perfect for couples that want to be close to Denver and the mountains. It has everything one could want for a romantic wedding in Colorado, including a bridal suite, grooms room, courtyard, and expansive, elegant spaces for wedding ceremonies and receptions. 

The design style  is industrial chic, with grand chandeliers, exposed brick walls, luxury inclusions thoughtfully curated spaces that take your breath away!

A new website to showcase the St Vrain Wedding Venue

Annie originally had a Squarespace website which was laid out rather simply and lacking the wow factor that really showcased the upscale venue in it’s true light. 

Annie saw the benefits of switching to Showit, which is ideal for wedding professionals. After purchasing a template – Bliss Weddings By Superhero Design, she had made a start on customizing it but needed some help to make the design fit her needs. I was so honored to step in and help take this over the finish line.

This happens often, when clients attempt to customize the design themselves but then get confused and stuck. Time constraints and limited knowledge of the platform prevents them from moving forward. Sometimes it’s quicker and much less stressful to hand it over to a pro and add another set of eyes and expertise to ensure it is launched quickly and successfully.

Using the template as a basis, I worked on formatting the design to be clear and functional. We used a lot of the copy from the original site but added tweaks here and there to ensure it was optimized for SEO.

We created a dedicated page for the Guest house as well as a FAQ page. A drop-down menu under “weddings” included separate pages for ‘the venue’, ceremonies and receptions.

The result was an impactful design, which was image-heavy and gave visitors a deeper insight into all the unique spaces and inclusions that the St Vrain has to offer. 

It has been an absolute pleasure to work on this and I’m happy to see a new look for the St Vrain with an online presence to match the aesthetic of this stunning venue!

Here’s some fun before and afters! 

Here’s what Annie, Owner at The St Vrain had to say about her experience:

“When we decided we wanted to give our website a more romantic feel, changing platforms seemed quite daunting until we met Claire! She was able to help us design and navigate the switch seamlessly! Our website now looks, feels and functions beautifully! Her expertise and experience made all the difference in ending up with such a fabulous new web presence!”
