The project
Airstream Events is a family-run mobile bar hire service featuring a stunning vintage 1975 Airstream trailer. This was a new business venture at the time, and they needed their first website to showcase the unique character of the service, make it easy for potential customers to understand what's included, and provide clear information about pricing and booking.
We were tasked with creating their first website for Airstream Events that would capture the fun, festival atmosphere of the service while providing clear, practical information for weddings, parties, and corporate events.
Scope and what changed
Key features
- Clear service structure: Dedicated sections for event hire, weddings and parties, and corporate services, plus clearer pricing and booking details.
- Visual appeal: Better image presentation and gallery content to highlight the character of the vintage Airstream trailer.
- Trust and credibility: Licensing, insurance, environmental practices, and health and safety information made clearer for prospective customers.
