Designing a Digital Home for a Jazz Bar

Web DesignFull-StackUXReservation System

challenge

The venue had outgrown its old site. It needed a redesign that captured what the space actually feels like.

approach

A full rebuild: cinematic intro, warm palette, serif typography, and a custom reservation system with real-time capacity and admin controls.

impact

A website that feels like the bar itself. Fully responsive, fast, and backed by a system handling 200+ events.

Honey Lou had evolved, new interior, new energy, a growing community, but the website still felt like version one. I redesigned and rebuilt everything to match what the space actually feels like.

Warm orange on black, elegant serif type, and a photo-driven layout that mirrors the venue. Under the hood: a custom reservation system with real-time capacity, automated confirmations, and a full admin dashboard.
