hotel web design examples
Willows Lodge
Idilic, luxurious, and only 30 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Seattle. Oh, and it's surrounded by world class wineries and tasting rooms. Our goal was to showcase great photography and emphasize the facility's natural beauty by wrapping it in a nice package. Tour the hotel grounds, or check out the nearby wineries by using the Google Maps powered Winery Tour.
The Inn at Laurel Point
Situated in a small park on the shores of Victoria Harbour, the Inn at Laurel Point is a quiet sanctuary from the hustle of touristy downtown.
Ten different ways to absorb the calming influences of various corners of the property were depicted in the design of this hotel website through twenty custom made videos.
Wickaninnish Inn
Visitors arriving on the far western edge of North America better be ready to explore, and the website we designed prepares them for this as users investigate the rustic elegance of the Inn, and the rugged beauty of the area.
Over three hundred photos hogged the real estate here, as each page became a photo gallery unto itself.
The Liberty Hotel
Over the last 150 years, this historic building in Boston has transitioned from a state-of-the-art jailhouse to a one-of-a-kind hotel.
The goal of this website's design captured the notion of ‘transitioning’ by showcasing five fullscreen timelapses from the most eye-catching corners of the hotel.
The Bearfoot Bistro
There's one thing that you can do better at the Bearfoot than at any other restaurant in Whistler: celebrate.
From the Champagne Bar to the cavernous wine cellar, 3D transitions and a choreographed photo shoot help highlight the energy and outstanding food enjoyed by guests.
Alderbrook Resort
Located on a natural fjord an hour outside of Seattle, the concept permeating this hotel website is to “get away without going away.”
A travel video depicts the quick and fun trip from the city to the property, and the design reveals that the Alderbrook can be your high-end home away from home.
MTM Luxury Lodging
MTM is a hotel management company with several North American boutique hotels in their family, and they asked Wallop to design their corporate website.
What traditionally would have been a simple and dry result was infused with a dash of MTM’s trademark 'wow, wimsy and fun.'
Tourism Tofino
The Tourism Tofino website promotes this tiny town on the edge of North America and includes business listings, accommodations, beautiful photography, and loads of information for visitors. It was built on the Django platform with a robust CMS to keep the site fresh, and people happy.

our process
What sets us apart from other creative studios is our due diligence and focus on thinking up-front, long before we enter the production phase of our projects.
first, we discover the subject matter by interviewing, discussing, defining, and researching our client and competitors.
second, we collaboratively set the goals of the project with our client, which become the foundation on which all project decisions are based.
third, we develop a project plan that aims to achieve those goals, complete with a concept and key messages that the website will deliver.
It's all part of a process that delivers a website as unique as your property.
our philosophy on web design
Considering the volume of information on the web and an audience that grows increasingly more impatient, your website had better communicate its message as quickly as possible.
We believe that an effective website is built around an engaging concept that efficiently delivers its key messages. It should be organized into a logical and simple site structure, use the efficiency of strong imagery, and be chronicled with copy that is short and precise. Used collaboratively, these attributes allow a website to speak to a user in a matter of seconds.
Achieving this is a science specific to designing for the web.
