Project Overview
The Lounge at Lodi Crush came to us locked into an industry-specific CMS that made even small updates slow and required a developer for anything beyond swapping text. We rebuilt their entire web presence on Astro JS, giving them a fast, fully-owned platform designed to match the warmth and character of the physical space.
Key Features
- Full migration off a locked-down industry CMS to a self-hosted Astro JS site
- Custom design system reflecting the lounge’s warm, tactile brand identity
- Editable content structure the client can update without a developer
- Responsive layout optimized for mobile browsing and reservations
- Fast, static-first performance with no vendor lock-in
Approach
We worked closely with the team at The Lounge at Lodi Crush to translate the in-person feel of the space — warm lighting, wine, and conversation — into a digital experience, while giving them full ownership over their own content going forward.
Results
The migration eliminated recurring CMS licensing costs, gave the client independent control over their content, and delivered a site that better represents the brand’s character online.
