This luxury coastal retreat occupies an area of outstanding natural beauty overlooking a private coastal beach in Widemouth near Bude, Cornwall. It was decided that the website design would use antique ruby as an ancient colour and anti-flash white as a complimentary colour to portray a coastal seaside look and feel.

After several design alterations we finally reached the right look and feel of a coastal seaside cottage. The next step in the website design process were the final touches/composition. This involved making the graphics look more realistic by implementing light sources and as a result designing the shadows in the right place to give them depth.

To make the website functionality slightly different to the typical accommodation website an interactive ajax calendar was developed. This meant the user could use a graphical seaside interface instead of the typical drop-downs you would see when making online bookings.
