The Challenge
E Bar Ranch needed a website that captured the rare blend of luxury and wilderness that defines the property.
This was not a standard ranch or real estate website. The experience needed to communicate:
World-class fly fishing and riverfront access
Equestrian lifestyle with ride-out access
Adventure through kayaking, hiking, and whitewater rafting
Privacy, exclusivity, and refined Colorado living
A sense of arrival—by land and air
The challenge was translating a once-in-a-lifetime property and lifestyle into a digital experience that felt immersive, elevated, and worthy of the setting.
The Strategy
Our strategy focused on experience-first storytelling rather than traditional real estate listing structure.
Key priorities included:
Leading with lifestyle and location, not specs
Using visual hierarchy to convey scale, scenery, and exclusivity
Structuring content to guide visitors through the experience of arriving, exploring, and unwinding
Balancing luxury with authenticity—never overproduced or generic
The goal was to make visitors feel what it’s like to be there before ever stepping foot on the ranch.
The Solution
We designed a custom Wix Studio website that blends cinematic visuals, clean structure, and refined messaging.
What we implemented:
A striking homepage that immediately establishes place, scale, and atmosphere
Story-driven sections highlighting fly fishing, equestrian access, and riverfront living
Clean, luxury-inspired layouts that allow imagery and copy to breathe
Mobile-optimized design for browsing from anywhere
A flexible framework capable of supporting future updates or transitions
Every design decision was made to reinforce exclusivity, adventure, and connection to the land.
Website Walkthrough & Design Overview
This video walkthrough showcases the completed website, highlighting how the layout, imagery, and content were structured to reflect the E Bar Ranch experience—from gold medal fishing along the Arkansas River to panoramic views of Colorado’s Collegiate Peaks.
Note: While the website is no longer active, this walkthrough reflects the final delivered project and accurately represents the work completed.
The Outcome
The finished website delivered a digital experience that matched the extraordinary nature of the property.
E Bar Ranch was presented as:
A private riverfront retreat along the Arkansas River
A gateway to world-class fly fishing, rafting, hiking, and equestrian adventure
A luxury estate with rare access to Browns Canyon headwaters
A secluded yet connected destination, minutes from Buena Vista, Salida, Mount Princeton Hot Springs, and a private airport
The site served as a story-driven showcase of Colorado living at its highest level—exclusive, adventurous, and effortlessly connected.
