Dock.

A brand site that builds a guest list before the first event.

The ask.

Dock is a waterfront social club on the Chesapeake, starting with a supper club. Before the first table was set, it needed a home that felt like being on the water and a way to start gathering people.

What I built.

The light

The page reads the real time of day on the Chesapeake and shifts to match, from sunrise to night water.

Guest list

Signup with a confirmation email, plus a welcome text for guests who opt in.

Stories

"Stories from these waters," a history series with a linked source behind every fact.

The mark

The hand-drawn wave and dot carried through the whole site.

Dock on a phone

Built for phones first.

The opening greets phone visitors with the current time on the water before anything else.

Behind the scenes.

  1. Someone joins the guest list

    They land on the list, get a confirmation email, and get a welcome text only if they said yes to texts.

  2. A new story goes up

    Each fact links to its source, so readers can check the history for themselves.
