A fresh new look and cottage web design for “The Old Coach House”.

Nestled in the quaint Welsh village of Talybont, Ceredigion, near Aberystwyth, lies "The Old Coach House" – a beautifully restored 4-bedroom cottage known locally as Yr Hen Ty Coets. Embracing its rich history, this haven offers a comfortable retreat for up to 7 guests amidst the stunning Mid-Wales landscape, just minutes away from Borth beach.

In their quest to share the allure of their property with the world, Yr Hen Ty Coets sought our expertise in branding and website design. Our approach combines a fresh visual identity with a nod to the cottage's heritage, inviting visitors to experience the tranquil pace of life in Talybont.

Branding & Logo Creation

Drawing inspiration from the cottage's legacy, we crafted a logo reminiscent of vintage carriage insignias. This blend of classic aesthetics with a contemporary twist resonates with the essence of Yr Hen Ty Coets. Complemented by a deep navy blue backdrop, our logo exudes sophistication and timeless elegance, setting the tone for the brand's identity.

Transitional Animations

Injecting vitality into the website, we incorporated subtle animations that captivate visitors as they explore. Photos gracefully fade into view, while call-to-action buttons subtly come to life upon hover, guiding users towards meaningful interactions.
