Metropolitan Website and Branding

I was contacted by the bar owners to pull together a functional and user friendly website for this iconic bar in Brooklyn, New York. It was set up through wordpress and houses their twitter, blog, and facebook updates all in one. This included a logo redesign, business cards, and twitter skin. The project itself proved to be very helpful with clientele growth and getting the word out about special events.

Background texture and design are both pulled from the theme and aesthetic of the bar itself. The home page has all the basic links as well as a short view of upcoming events, social media links, an option to join their mailing list, and a live twitter feed.

The gallery link brings the user to icons of photos added though wordpress. When you click on a photograph it opens in the same window and offers the ability to shuffle through images. It saves the user time of waiting for an external page to load.

The contact page has a google maps powered locator that offers the ability to map directions from the user's phone or computer. We were also sure to include the easiest route using the New York Transit System.

The blog aspect of the website is run by wordpress and is automatically posted to facebook, twitter, and the website. This makes updating viewers about upcoming events as easy as possible. There is also an archive for previous events and posts as well as a listing of people who like Metropolitan on Facebook.
