The 4-star Hotel Beethoven lies ensconced in culture and cuisine on the “bohemian“ Naschmarkt, opposite the Papagenotor at Theater an der Wien, just a few minutes’ walk from the most traditional Viennese coffeehouses and shopping streets.The family owned and operated hotel finds its identity in itself.

The Challenge

To create a “bohemian” styled magazine that personifies the distinguished personality of the hotel and its surroundings. It was important that the homepage in this sense was informative and had stickability. A site search had to be available alongside the ability to easily find and book a room.

Our Approach

We first try to understand our clients and its customer’s needs with the aim to improve how people view their business online. In order to fulfil their goals, we need to gauge expectations and find out exactly what they are trying to achieve. We use questionnaires to gather basic information and find out what criteria is most important to their business. We work with the client to establishing design criteria and draw up a site plan based on our own experience. It is also important to layout the client responsibilities as far as deliverables, so as not to impact on the timescale and the final delivery date.
