From the archive: the work, as we told it then.
From the Makespace! archive: the historic steamboat of Louisville, approaching her 100th year, and what we built for them. Every screenshot below is our build, and every word of the story is the one we wrote when we launched it.
Our build
With their 100 year anniversary approaching, the Belle of Louisville's board knew they'd be in the world's spotlight, so they wanted to look world-class. We made 'em look world-class.
Site since redesigned by another agency.
Chapter 01 of 03
We made the Belle of Louisville brand "web ready" by creating a full color palette and usage manual, complete with font usage and a nostalgic meets modern visual style.

Website Design: An old-time aesthetic meets a modern, feature rich website. We took the Belle of Louisville into the 21st century with a beautiful, powerful web presence powered by a custom Content Management System (CMS). Now she's also the Belle of the Web.
This illustration is pure eye candy, representing the longevity of the Belle as she moves not only down the Ohio River but through time. Wait for it, wait for it...
It was a real no-brainer for us to create a timeline featuring the Belle's most valuable attribute: it's nearly 100 year history. Take a trip through history and experience the Belle's most impactful events, one click at a time, without leaving your couch.
We made it easy and crazy convenient to plan your event on the Belle or the Spirit of Jefferson, from an evening tour to a full corporate outing.
Not only can you plan your visit, you can purchase tickets. We integrated the website interface with a third party ticketing system. This addition of this feature greatly increased ticket sales. Duh.

Mobile Friendly Design: Designed and developed prior to Responsive Design capabilities, the website still works great on mobile devices. When they are ready, we can take the Belle website fully responsive.
Ready when you are
Sit down over a cup of joe or a glass of Kentucky's finest brown water and let's talk about it.
Fast gets you launched. Effective gets you paid. We do both before the coffee gets cold.

I need a custom website in Louisville.
Request received
Your request is with a real person, not a queue. We read every one, usually the same business day, and we'll email to confirm the time. If someone beat you to that slot, we'll offer the next best one. The coffee's on us either way.
