I build websites with the same care you pour into the glass.

Breweries

Your tap list updates itself, your release pages hold up when the drop lands, and I lay the details out so an AI points people to your taproom by name.

Wineries

Vintages, allocations and the club stay straight from cellar to checkout, and when someone asks an AI where to go tasting, yours is the name it gives.

Meaderies

Mead still needs a little explaining, so your site teaches while it sells. Batch stories and honey varietals up front, structured data underneath that tells a search engine what mead even is and points it at yours.

Cideries

Room for the seasonal pressings and the orchard story, a shop that ships wherever it's allowed, and hours an AI gets right when someone's deciding where to go.

Every site I build runs on Stave.

It's one system I made for beverage businesses and nothing else. The pieces your place actually runs on come with the site, and if you need something no off-the-shelf tool does, I build it.

It wires into the till, the shipper, and the tools you already use, so what the customer sees at checkout is what actually happens.

Which ones your site uses depends on how you run.

A hilltop vineyard whose tasting hours sat three clicks deep. The new site opens with the view, puts the drive and the pour times on the first screen, and sells the club and the bottles without sending anyone elsewhere.

Care after launch

What does Stave do?

I design and build websites and online stores for craft beverage makers: wineries, breweries, cideries and meaderies. Every project is mine start to finish, covers design, engineering, SEO and AI-search visibility, and runs on Stave, my own platform, for club, events and online sales.

Who does Stave work with?

Independent makers with a tasting room: wineries, breweries, cideries and meaderies. Also taprooms that pour a few different brands and have to represent someone else’s beer accurately. I’m based in North Carolina and work with people anywhere, remotely. I only take a few builds a year, so each one gets my full attention.

What does a website cost?

There’s no price list, because a small tasting-room site and a full club-and-commerce build aren’t the same job. After one conversation about how your place runs, I’ll give you a fixed number. No hourly surprises, and ongoing care is month to month with no lock-in.

How do you get a winery or brewery cited by AI?

I make the site machine-readable and specific: structured data for the business, its pours, hours and events, real pages instead of PDFs, answer-first writing, and access for the AI crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot. Those are the pages the assistants actually pull from and quote.

Can staff update the site after launch?

Yes. New releases, hours, tap changes and events are plain forms, with no developer and no clunky page-builder to fight. Whoever’s behind the bar can keep it current from their phone.

Can you connect to our POS and club software?

Usually. I can connect Square, Toast, Arryved, Ollie, Untappd, Commerce7, WineDirect, Vinoshipper, Stripe, Mailchimp and Google Business Profile, among others. Which ones your site uses depends on how you run, and if something’s missing, I build it.
