    / The Bar

    2025

    A public site that doubles as an operating system — and lets the team ship a campaign without briefing a developer.

    Why Not is een gastrobar en cocktailbar in Gent. Het wenste een sfeervolle, redactionele site die menu's, reservaties en cadeaubonnen zelf beheert.

    / House Voice
    “Menus, reservations, gift cards and a landing-page builder — running under one moody, editorial roof.”

    Screens

    / Reservations

    Book a table without breaking the mood.

    A theming-first booking flow that lives inside the site — real-time availability, party size, confirmation and cancellations, all styled to the bar rather than a generic widget.

    / Menu Management

    Menus that change with the season.

    Live-editable cocktail and food menus with categories, allergens and photography — updated by the team in minutes, published without a deploy.

    / Discover Landing Builder

    Every campaign, its own page.

    The admin builds themed landing pages that render at /discover/:slug — for cocktail nights, seasonal takeovers, partner events and paid campaigns, all indexed for SEO.

    / Journal / Blog

    House voice, house schedule.

    A full WYSIWYG editor with cover images, categories and drafts — so the bar publishes editorial in its own tone instead of on someone else's platform.

    / Gift Cards

    Give the night away.

    Purchase, code generation and a public claim flow tied to accounts — with a matching admin view for the team to track outstanding balances.

    / Bilingual (NL · EN)

    Ghent, in two voices.

    A custom language context wraps every page, menu, journal post and campaign — so international guests read the same site in English without a mirrored build.
