At Midnight Mice Media, we take pride in helping businesses in and out of our area establish a strong online presence. Our team has had the privilege of working with a diverse range of companies, each with unique needs and goals. Today, we’re excited to share some examples of our work that demonstrate our commitment to creating stunning, functional websites for our local community.

1. Ceviche Restaurant and Bar

Ceviche is a beloved Cuban restaurant in the heart of the East Villiage in Des Moines, IA. When they approached us, they needed a website that would showcase their menu and capture the ambiance of their establishment.

Key features we implemented:

• Mobile-responsive design for on-the-go customers
• Online reservation system integrated with their POS
• High-quality food photography gallery
• Interactive menu with dietary filter options

Result: Since launching their new website, Ceviche has seen a 40% increase in online views and a significant boost in their search engine rankings for local dining searches.

2. Strive Vineyards

Strive Vineyards, a family-owned winery nestled in the rolling hills just outside Willcox, AZ, came to us with a vision of bringing their rustic charm and exquisite wines to the digital world. They needed a website that would attract wine enthusiasts, facilitate online sales, and promote their on-site experiences.

Key features we implemented:

• Responsive design that captures the vineyard’s scenic beauty across all devices
• E-commerce functionality for online wine sales, with age verification
• Virtual tour of the vineyard and winemaking process Events calendar for wine tastings, harvest festivals, and private bookings
• Wine club membership portal with exclusive access and automatic shipments
• Blog for sharing wine pairing suggestions, harvest updates, and industry insights

One of our favorite aspects of this project was designing an interactive wine selection guide. This feature helps visitors discover wines based on their taste preferences, occasion, and food pairings, mimicking the personalized experience they would get in Sunnyslope’s tasting room.

Result: Within the first year after launching their new website, Sunnyslope Vineyards saw remarkable results!

This project showcases our ability to blend aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, all while capturing the unique character of a local business. We worked closely with the Sunnyslope team to ensure that every element of the website, from the color palette inspired by their wine varieties to the typography reminiscent of their bottle labels, reflected their brand identity.

By highlighting the vineyard’s local roots and the family’s passion for winemaking, we’ve helped Strive Vineyards not just sell wine, but tell their story and build a community around their brand.
