A proposal for Dobbin House

A landmark.
A warmer welcome online.

A new digital home for a singular Gettysburg experience. Thoughtful in its presentation. Clear in its purpose. Built around the way your guests actually visit.

The commemorative Liberty Bell replica at Dobbin House Square.

A living house of hospitality

The house already
has the story.

Our opportunity is to make the welcome feel just as considered online. To give every guest a clear way into the dining, the inn, the history—and the practical details that make a visit possible.

This direction grows from a detailed study of the house, its services and the journeys through the current website. It brings those parts together with a quieter visual language and a much clearer sense of place.

01 / A clearer invitation

Choose the right experience.

Two distinct dining experiences. Real rooms and suites. A tour, a gathering, a little more time in Gettysburg.

02 / A more useful welcome

Plan with confidence.

Readable menus, precise reservation guidance, useful room details and direct routes to the people and providers who can help.

03 / A lasting foundation

Care for what comes next.

Editable pages, a consistent design system and structured information that can grow with the house.

A clearer first impression

The same house.
A new way in.

The proposed welcome gives guests space to see the house, understand their choices and find the right next step. Explore both opening views, captured at the same desktop size.

The direction, made tangible

History, warmly lived.

Limestone and oxblood. The shape of the house. Expressive type, authentic photography and room to breathe. An identity intended to feel as much at home on a menu as it does on a screen.

Research before decoration

Every beautiful detail
has a useful job.

The discovery covers dining, lodging, tours, the Square, group hospitality, content, accessibility, search and the systems behind the guest journey.

29-page discovery · 57 linked public references · October 25, 2026

Designed to be cared for.

The pages and shared templates are built with native Elementor tools in WordPress. The goal is a website the team can keep current, supported by a considered structure for rooms, menus and inquiries.

A concept to explore together.

This website presentation demonstrates the proposed experience. Business details, historical interpretation and photo permissions remain part of the operator review before any public launch. The inquiry form is a clearly marked demonstration.

Make a little time

The best way to see it
is to step inside.

Explore the proposed guest experience, from the first welcome to a table, a room or a closer look at the house.
