Corks n’ Crowns – A Santa Barbara Wine Tasting Room and Wine Club

By Laurence Orr

Corks n’ Crowns, a wine tasting room down near the Sterns Wharf in Santa Barbara, asked me to design a new website for them and to build it on WordPress.

If you go into the tasting room you’ll see that there are a lot of dark woods and interesting textures that exude a high level feeling and brand. The wines they select for their wine club every month are well thought out and made sure they mesh well with their clientele. I tried to make the website design reflect that and show off their wonderful wines and beers.

If you are ever downtown and are looking for a good place to try new and different wines check out Corks n’ Crowns( Map here ).

Please comment and let me know what you think.

A local Santa Barbara - web designer + graphic artist + interface designer.

nfxdesign is my playground to try out and perfect new web and graphic techniques and technologies. I pride myself on being able to take a client's rough, verbal idea and transform it into a polished proof-of-concept that serves as a good foundation for finishing the project. I understand that, rather than mold the client's wishes to my vision, my work must conform to my client's needs.

Just some of my skills:

  • Proficient in the latest HTML & CSS standards and uses.
  • Experience with Javascript/JQuery and Wordpress.
  • Highly proficient in the Adobe suite of applications including Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver (though I prefer to hand code) and Flash.
  • Proficient in Adobe Flash animation and interactive design.
  • Experience with a lot of different print design, including posters, brochures, business cards, etc.
