Project Description

Located in Grasonville Maryland, the dock bar known as “The Big Owl” has remained a local hot spot for locals for decades.  Sittting at the end of a dock, surrounded by the waters of the Kent Narrows, The Big Owl is famously known for 3 things.  Great Live Music, Beautiful Sunsets and Delicious Food.  As the current owners entered into their 11th year running this highly coveted Tiki Bar, they decided it was time to update their website.  And that’s where we came in…

A Digital Mind was brought on board to create a new, mobile responsive website, that encompassed what travelers and locals alike, love about coming to The Big Owl.  We started with a completely new website design that immediately addressed what sets this bar apart from others in the area.  With bright colors and plenty of photography, we were able to capture the vibe of The Big Owl and digitally convey that to customers who view the site.  Being that The Big Owl is so well known for their live music, an events page, was a must!  We were able to create a fully integrated events calendar that would allow users to view upcoming events, view band photos and text and share those events on social media. 

From there it was onto the Menu!  The Big Owl has quite a few dishes that the locals rave about, so it was important to highlight those dishes to visitors of the site.  Along with their most popular dishes being highlighted on the home page, a complete menu page was created to indicate what each dish includes and its price. 

Finally, the owners needed a way for new employees to submit an application for employment, directly on the site.  2 separate forms were created on the contact page to address that issue.  One form is more of a general contact form for customers and entertainers, while the other allows job applications to quickly and easily apply for a job at The Big Owl.
