Vermont Bike & Brew had already built something special. The business had charm, a great local feel, and a clear sense of what made the experience worth talking about. But like many business owners, there came a point where giving the website your best effort was no longer enough. It was time for the website to do more.
With updated brand guidelines and a stronger vision for the business, Vermont Bike & Brew partnered with Torque Media to create a website that better reflected the experience they offer while setting the stage for stronger performance moving forward. The current site now highlights e-bike tours, rentals, sales, blog content, and a stronger visitor path from discovery to booking.
Business Challenge
The owner felt like he had taken the previous website as far as he could on his own, but still wanted better performance from the business online. The foundation was there, but the website was not doing enough to support the bigger opportunity in front of the brand.
At the same time, new brand guidelines made it clear that the business had outgrown the old presentation. Vermont Bike & Brew needed a website that better matched the quality of the experience, made the offerings easier to understand, and gave users a more natural path through the site. A stronger website was the next logical move.
Torque Media’s Solution
Torque Media approached this project with the same mindset we bring to all serious business websites: make it clearer, make it stronger, and make it easier for people to take action.
Our work focused on improving both user experience and search visibility.
That included:
- bringing tours out of the purchasing tools and onto the website itself, making them easier to find and better positioned for SEO
- creating real product pages for bikes for sale so the sales side of the business had a stronger presence online
- developing content and character throughout the site so it better reflects the charm of a small Vermont town while staying clean, clear, and easy to use
The updated website now presents Vermont Bike & Brew as more than a booking tool. It feels like a real destination brand, with tours, rentals, sales, group outings, local business partnerships, and blog content all integrated into the experience.
Recommended Next Steps
The next step is momentum.
We recommend that Vermont Bike & Brew begin blogging consistently and use the slower season to create useful, engaging content that can be leveraged across social media. That gives the business more to talk about, more to rank for, and more opportunities to stay in front of potential riders before peak season arrives.
We also see strong potential in paid search and display advertising. With the right targeting, those channels can help expand reach, support seasonal demand, and improve conversion from people already looking for experiences like this.
Why Torque Media
At Torque Media, we do not just make websites look better. We help businesses build websites that are easier to understand, easier to use, and better positioned to grow. When a business already has something great going for it, our job is to bring that value forward and make sure the website is doing its share of the work.
That is exactly what this project was about.
