The brief
Who it’s for. What it needs to do.
Bring the harbor into the first impression.
The waterfront sits at the center of Saltwind’s site, but the rooms and the contact page stay easy to find. It should feel unhurried, with a quick route for guests who already know they want to stay.
This is a fictional business, and everything it says about itself was written for this sample.
Design decisions
A closer look at the choices behind the pages.
Connect atmosphere to room browsing
A full-width harbor photo opens the homepage. Rooms are listed row by row on their own page, and a centered header with plenty of space keeps it calm without hiding where to go next.
Keep the visual story coherent
The gallery frames harbor views and interiors the same way, and soft buttons with quiet type tie the pages together. Contact stays in view throughout.

Get a fuller sense of the place ↗

Ask about your dates ↗
Guests who want to check dates before they book can write or call from the contact page.
