uncorked website template design

Gorilion is a web development agency in California specializing in custom WordPress websites for the wine and beverage industry. We worked together to create a beautiful template for wineries available on the Commerce 7 marketplace.

The project’s goal was to develop a polished, modern template, flexible enough for wineries to customize to their branding. The template includes custom sections for events, media appearances and wine club membership. Custom icons make the template more custom than free icons available online and high-end, curated open-source stock photos allow new wineries to have a polished site, even if they don’t yet have their brand photography. To download the template, it can be found on the Commerce 7 marketplace here.

design notes

Curating stock photos is a small detail that makes the website polished for startup wineries on a budget who haven’t been able to invest in brand photography.
