Hamel’s Creative Catering & The Summit View Meeting House

Two businesses, one seamless digital experience. We designed a unified WordPress website for Hamel’s Creative Catering and The Summit View Meeting House, bringing together offsite catering and an on-site event venue under a single, cohesive platform. Located in Holyoke, Massachusetts, this family-owned business has served Western Massachusetts since 1990. With full-service offsite catering and a versatile banquet and meeting venue, Hamel’s and Summit View are trusted partners for weddings, corporate events, concerts, and community celebrations.

Web Design

A unified WordPress website that clearly presents two complementary businesses while maintaining a cohesive brand experience.

Hamel’s Creative Catering and The Summit View Meeting House needed a modern digital presence that could showcase both offsite catering services and their on-site venue without confusion or fragmentation.

Challenge

The existing website struggled to:

  • Highlight the breadth of services across catering and venue offerings
  • Promote special programming such as weddings and the summer concert series
  • Present extensive catering menus in a clear, inviting way
  • Unify two distinct operations under a single, consistent brand

Solution

We designed and developed a custom WordPress website that integrates both businesses into one intuitive platform.

Work included:

  • Integrated Dual Services: Clear separation and storytelling for catering services and the Summit View venue, while maintaining a unified visual identity
  • Event Highlights: Dedicated sections for weddings, concerts, and special events, supported by strong imagery and clear information
  • Comprehensive Menus: Organized, easy-to-navigate menu layouts covering everything from formal dinners to casual gatherings
  • User-Friendly Navigation: Logical site structure guiding visitors through services, events, and planning resources
  • Responsive Design: Optimized performance across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices

Results

The redesigned website has significantly strengthened their digital presence:

  • Enhanced Client Engagement: Clear service presentation has increased catering inquiries and event bookings
  • Improved Brand Cohesion: Both businesses now feel connected and intentional under one digital roof
  • Streamlined User Experience: Visitors can quickly explore menus, venues, and events without friction
  • Greater Event Visibility: Dedicated event sections have driven higher attendance and booking interest
