Who This Template Is Perfect For

Built for rooms worth finding

Bar

A dark, art deco site for bars that sell a room, a programme and a reason to book this week. Everything in the preview is a placeholder. The bar name, the lineup, the rules and the hours are all replaced with yours.

The Process

From here to live

Two to Four Weeks

01

You pick Nocturne

Tell me this is the direction. We talk through your programme, your hours, and whether private hire matters.

02

You send content

Your photos, house rules, hours, lineup and private hire details. I send a simple checklist so nothing is missed.

03

I build it

I adapt the design to your brand and send it over to review. We go back and forth until you approve the final look.

04

We go live

Domain connected, reservations connected, analytics set up, and a full handover. After launch, the weekly lineup and any changes come straight to me and are handled as part of your monthly care plan.

Nocturne Saturday live music lineup
The Standout Feature

A Saturday lineup
people come back for

Click a date and the whole panel changes, the act, the photograph, the genre, the set times, the cover charge. Five Saturdays at a glance, and every one of them a reason to book a table this week instead of next. Bars lose the live music audience because the schedule lives on Instagram and disappears in three days. On the site it stays, it gets indexed, and people can plan around it.

  • Saturday lineup switcher with photo, set times and cover per act
  • A password-locked back room for private hire and members
  • Art deco framing, hairline rules and an oxblood and gold palette
  • House rules, hours and reservations stated where people look
  • Reservation buttons wired to your booking platform
  • Gallery of the room, the bar and the crowd
  • Loads fast on a phone outside the door
  • Honours reduced-motion accessibility settings

What It Costs

Build, then hosting

Quoted Separately

$500+A one-time build fee, quoted per project based on how much you want on the site. Hosting and care is a separate monthly cost, quoted at the same time so you see both numbers before committing.

One-Time

The Build

Design adapted to your bar, your programme and rules written up, lineup set in, reservations connected, and launch handled.

From $500, quoted per project. You will have a fixed number in writing before any work begins.

Monthly

Hosting & Care

Keeps the site online, fast, secure and backed up, with software kept current.

Separate from the build, quoted at the same time so you see both numbers together. The weekly lineup, hours and menu changes are handled for you as part of the plan.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Before We Start

How does this actually work?

You are choosing a design direction, not buying a file. There is nothing to download or configure. I adapt this look to your brand, build every section around your content and your words, and send it over to review. We go back and forth until you approve the final look, then it goes live on your domain.

Can people reserve a table through it?

Yes, through whatever you already use, Resy, OpenTable, Tock or SevenRooms. I connect it so booking feels part of the site. Those platforms charge their own fee, separate from anything I quote. If you take reservations by phone or DM only, the form does that instead.

What is the password-locked back room for?

Whatever you want gated, private hire rates, a members programme, a hidden menu, a guest list. It is a simple shared password, not a login system, which is the right level of friction for a bar. If you need real accounts, that is a bigger build and I will quote it.

Who updates the Saturday lineup?

You send it to me and I update it. Lineups change weekly, so they are covered under your monthly care plan. If you would rather post it yourself, we can set that up, just raise it on the onboarding call and we will talk through the options and cost.

Will a dark site hurt me on Google?

No. Search ranking does not care about your colour scheme, it cares about speed, structure and whether the content answers what people searched for. I build the contrast to accessibility standards so the text stays readable, which is the part that would otherwise cause problems.

Do I need professional photos?

For a dark room, honestly yes. Low light is the hardest thing to shoot on a phone, and a bad photo of a beautiful bar undersells it badly. A couple of hours with a photographer who shoots interiors pays for itself.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The files, the domain and the content are yours. If you ever move to another host or designer, everything transfers.

Do you only work with bars in Los Angeles?

No, I work anywhere in the US. If you are local we can meet in person.

Want something
entirely your own?

If none of the designs fit, I build from a blank page too. Same process, more discovery.
