Cox Canyon Vineyards gets a Cellar Door Consultants Make-Over

Cox Canyon Vineyards is one of our very first Winery/Vineyard clients. In celebration of that milestone, we recently gave Gary Cox’s website a bit of a makeover. We moved the site into our content management tool and upgraded the features on the site so that Gary can edit the information on his own, 24-7.

Cellar Door Consultants Roles Out Multiple Websites

It has been a busy few weeks here at Cellar Door Consultants.

New Alexandria Nicole Cellars Glamping Website

The launch of the new website for Alexandria Nicole Cellars new ANC Glamping effort took place last month. The new site showcases the GLAMorous side of CamPING at their Destiny Ridge estate vineyard above the Columbia River in the Horse Heaven AVA.

Site Highlights include:

• A custom theme modification to include their imagery of the physical location
• Key Imagery on the front page
• Guestbook Comment Display
• Custom online forms
• Custom interface with online reservation booking and payment
• Image Galleries
• Custom Blog Page
• Built in content management system

Smasne Cellars launched their new website with the assistance of Cellar Door Consultants.

After working with their team to gain direct control of their domain name, we provided a cost effective hosting and content management solution. Their team also received a new site theme customized to their specifications as well as individualized training on the content management system and integration with Vineyard2Door’s eCommerce solution.

They now have complete control of the website content, domain and hosting services that they are using to showcase their winery, tasting room and products.

Watch for our latest website project at Common Grounds Prosser as it progresses of the next few days.

Belinda at Common Grounds had taken steps to get the branded domain for her business and paid for months of hosting for a site that never got off the ground. Frustrated, she turned to Cellar Door Consultants to help her get control over the domain name and get connected with a customer service oriented hosting service. We assisted her with:

• Getting her domain name wrestled away from a less than user friendly domain registrar
• Registering the domain with a cost effective hosting service
• Installing new branded email services
• Creating a new Customized website theme (new imagery is in the works this week)
• Installing a content management system so she can control site content from anywhere
• Installing Security and Data back-up systems to protect the site
• Preparing customized training for her team to manage the site

As we mentioned before, a busy couple of months here at Cellar Door Consultants.  Thank you to all of our clients for their word of mouth connections. Your kind words are leading to our success!
