ABOUT

Initially, I was approached by Chantry Brewery to create a marketing website to promote their real ale brewery based in Rotherham. This involved designing the website based on brand guidelines and building it using WordPress. All the illustrations were created using Photoshop, which I also used to edit photos. I also embedded some custom HTML/CSS/JavaScript code which I wrote to create a bespoke timeline for the company's about page which also included illustrations using the client's brand colour scheme.

At the start of the Covid pandemic in March 2020, the brewery was forced to close their 3 pubs which they sold a lot of their beer through. As a worldwide issue, they had no alternative sale outlets, and so I added an online shop to the website. This involved researching and implementing WooCommerce and Stripe as a payment gateway. I also created a design template for displaying the product images in a consistent way.

This project was hugely successful and has continued to grow. They were able to retain their staff throughout the pandemic and it meant their huge amount of stock did not have to go to waste as many competitors were forced to discard their product.
