Ironhand is a wine bar and vineyard in South Bend, Indiana, moving from ironhandvineyard.com to a new domain, ironhandwinebar.com, and needing a full redesign. The brief was a light, airy site covering the vineyard, wines, wine club, events, private events and catering, gift cards, and the menu.
I built it on Themify Ultra, starting from the Resto skin. The palette came from the client’s logo (wine, aubergine, pewter, and cream) and lives in CSS variables so colors can change in one place. I used a text wordmark in the header because the logo’s fine linework did not hold up at that size, and built the pages from reusable Builder rows. Events run on Modern Events Calendar, chosen after comparing plugins for a venue with many weekly and monthly repeating events. Menus are built as real page content, not PDFs.
