East Bluff Bike Park and Campground, tucked away in the rugged beauty of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula, is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. With a unique blend of cabin lodging, rustic campsites, and adrenaline-pumping shuttle-assisted mountain biking trails, the destination offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and thrill-seekers alike.

However, their previous website didn’t do justice to the excitement and quality of the real-life adventure. The online presence felt outdated, difficult to navigate, and lacked the energy, clarity, and functionality needed to engage visitors or convert them into bookings.

The Challenge

Despite a loyal base and strong community presence, the digital experience was falling short:

website development
  • Outdated and disconnected design that failed to reflect the brand’s adventurous, outdoor-focused identity

  • Confusing user experience with scattered navigation and a lack of clear, action-driven pathways

  • No integrated booking system, forcing visitors to dig through pages or reach out manually to make reservations

  • Weak visual storytelling, with generic imagery and uninspired layout that didn’t capture the terrain’s energy or uniqueness

  • Lack of streamlined communication tools, with missing or clunky FAQ and contact solutions that left users guessing

Our Strategy

Through a focused collaboration with the East Bluff team, we identified key areas where the brand’s digital presence was falling short. From inconsistent messaging to a lack of functional booking tools, it was clear that the site needed more than just a visual upgrade, it needed a full strategic redesign.

Our goal was to create a website that not only captured the raw beauty and energy of East Bluff, but also streamlined the user journey to boost engagement, simplify booking, and scale effortlessly with the business.
