Vya Vermouth

Challenge

Southern California based Quady Winery reached out to Daylight Studio to partner on creating a responsive WordPress site for one of their product lines. Known for their sweet wines, Quady had recently rebranded their collection of botanical-infused vermouths called Vya. In order to reach their distributors, bartenders and mixologists alike, we were tasked with designing a marketing website that brought their brand story to life.

Approach

Working within tight budget and timeline constraints for the rebrand launch, I led the visual strategy to translate Vya's botanical story into a digital experience. Through collaborative moodboard explorations, I helped the client define an approach that would resonate with their trade audience of distributors, bartenders, and mixologists. I designed a flexible component system and responsive templates that prioritized tablet-first experiences for their sales team's needs.

Outcomes

Prioritizing a tablet-first experience, Quady’s sales team now uses the site as their primary tool for distributor presentations, with the botanical ingredient slider becoming a key conversation starter. Bringing the Vya illustrative nature to life online has expanded the brand story — Showcasing botanical ingredients, sharing delicious cocktail recipes, and inviting you to ‘experience the alchemy’ that is Vya Vermouth.

“Christine is an incredibly gifted designer who was able to capture our vision of magic and intrigue and bring it to life on the computer screen. The entire Quady team is proud of Vya.com and always excited to share it with others. We appreciated Christine’s insights, guidance, and honest feedback throughout the website development process; she and the Daylight team made it so easy for us to navigate. We would happily work with Christine again – and hope to – for our next website project!”
