Ruby's Wine Shop
Website design for a cosy wine bar celebrating low-intervention wines, local snacks, and spontaneous evenings
The Challenge
Ruby's Wine Shop is a neighbourhood wine bar in Albion with a fiercely loyal local following but zero online presence beyond Instagram. As they planned to start hosting ticketed tasting events and shipping wine nationally, they needed a website that captured the warmth of their space while opening up new revenue streams.
The Solution
Ruby's Wine Shop is a neighbourhood wine bar in Albion with a focus on natural wines and community connection. The website needed to capture the warmth and character of the physical space while making it easy for customers to explore the menu, find events, and plan their visit.
We created a digital experience that balances playful personality with elegant typography, using a warm cream and terracotta colour palette that feels inviting and sophisticated. Hand-drawn wine glass illustrations add charm while maintaining professional polish.
Key Features
The website features a clean, intuitive navigation structure with dedicated sections for About, Menu, What's On, and Find Us. The typography-forward design uses elegant serifs for headings paired with clean sans-serif body text, creating a sophisticated yet approachable feel.
Custom hand-drawn illustrations of wine glasses celebrating together reinforce the community spirit, while the warm colour palette of cream backgrounds with terracotta accents creates an inviting atmosphere that mirrors the physical space. A prominent "Visit Us" call-to-action ensures visitors can easily make plans to stop by.
"The website feels exactly like walking into our bar — warm, fun, and a little bit cheeky. We've sold out every tasting event since launch, and our online wine sales have exceeded every projection." Ruby Thornton, Founder at Ruby's Wine Shop
