We like to keep it local at Revital, and it doesn’t get more local for us than The Burg Bar & Grill which is about 5 blocks away.
The Burg is a hot spot for Ray Fans, before and after the game. It’s close to the ballpark, with great Mediterranean/American food and a wide array of domestic and import beers on tap, it’s easy to see why all St. Petersburg locals love this place.
For this website design, we decided to keep it simple. Nothing superfluous. Just like the restaurant: simple to the point and great at what it does.
The main focus was to create a socially centered website where customers can interact and see stats on the bar’s social media content. We created custom graphs that update daily to show check-in volume for the restaurant on Facebook and Foursquare. A twitter feed is also updated daily with fresh posts. And due to the ever growing use of smart phones, all this has to be mobile.
Most mobile websites are a lame abbreviation of the desktop version. In some cases, the mobile website is solely based on quick access to a phone number and address. But we went a step further than the norm. Instead of redirecting users to a mobile site, we custom developed the same content as the desktop version, but with detection for mobile users. So you only see a new stylesheet. It’s the same site, just smaller. This keeps the design and branding consistent and also allows for easier updates. If one site gets an update, the other site will too.
Our friends at the Burg NOW have the complete package. A badass St. Petersburg Website to go along with their amazing food, and friendly atmosphere. If you’re in town, you have to stop in. We recommend Mama’s soup with an ice cold Shipyard lager.
