new web design for Pink Pony Bar & Grill

In the heart of Mackinac Island's vibrant scene sits a cherished gem – The Pink Pony. A beloved bar and grill with an iconic outdoor patio, The Pink Pony has become a cornerstone of island life. With a zest for modernization and a commitment to preserving its island charm, The Pink Pony joined forces with Dog Ear to serve up a brand-new web design and digital presence that reflects its dynamic spirit.

Simple Design for Patrons on the Go

Pink Pony’s old site was outdated, cluttered and wasn’t responsive for some content. Important information for visitors was often buried, and the style of the site didn’t match the brand as well as it could have. Taking these things into consideration, we built a simple site where island visitors could pull up the page they needed quickly. We also improved website performance through image optimization, caching and more. We host the site on our VPS servers and maintain the necessary plugin and WordPress updates so that The Pony can concentrate on what it does best: serving up great food, drinks and island memories.

Online Menus

What's an island adventure without good food and drink? The Pink Pony's many menus are now just a click away for patrons to peruse. From savory dishes to signature drinks, the online menu showcases the culinary offerings that have made The Pink Pony a must-visit destination for Mackinac Island explorers. Previously, menus were buried and took multiple clicks to get too. Now, easy site navigation makes it easy to plan and order. The 2020 pandemic has shown us how important online menus are, and could continue to be, into the future.
