Build & Barrel makes bars for venues, homes and events. We built a website that starts with what you’re planning.
Three reasons
to visit.
A venue owner commissioning a permanent bar has different questions from someone hiring one for a wedding. Someone looking for a keg has a different job again.
We gave each a clear route from the homepage, with custom builds first. For bar hire, we designed the range around occasions and built a custom planner that turns a customer’s setup and dates into a request the workshop can review.
A closer look
at the build.
The Merchant bar set the tone for the site. We paired workshop photography with warm stone colours, olive and large serif type, then built a materials gallery that lets you compare profiles and finishes up close.
The project brief asks where the bar will go, how you’ll use it and when you need it. It gives Matt and Travis something specific to work from in the first conversation.
Bar hire for
the occasion.
A wedding, a brand activation and a venue pop-up need different setups. We built a dedicated bar hire page so organisers can start with their occasion or compare the bar formats and finishes directly.
The choice carries into the hire planner, where customers can adjust the setup for their event.
A custom system
for hire bookings.
We built a four-step planner for bars, dates, event details and review. Customers choose formats, finishes and quantities, pick a preferred day or date range, then add venue and access details.
They can save a draft, check the whole request and edit it before sending. Matt and Travis get the details they need to check availability, work through logistics and confirm the booking with the customer.
The drinks have
their own shop.
We designed a drinks catalogue with category browsing, search and a cart that carries the same look as the rest of the website.
The storefront connects to Shopify for checkout testing. Hire stays a separate enquiry, with availability confirmed by the workshop team.
The same decisions
on a smaller screen.
On a phone, the custom builds page becomes a single column with full-width photos.
The same routes carry through to the hire planner, where the selection summary and next step stay within reach.
