Case studyRestaurant & steakhouse · Crete, NE

Old Main Restaurant + Bar

A two-floor restaurant rebuilt after a fire needed one site to sell a steakhouse, a social floor, live music, brunch and their own beef — and take reservations and orders.

The challenge

Two very different experiences under one roof — quiet fine dining downstairs, taps and golf sims upstairs — plus events, brunch, catering and retail, all competing for attention.

The approach

A story-led site built with custom 3D-rendered models and custom animations, giving each floor its own voice — with reservations, online ordering, a custom calendar integration with automated announcements, menus, a shop and local landing pages — all linked to their WordPress admin.

The result

One place to reserve, order, plan an event or buy the beef — built to pull in diners from Lincoln, 25 minutes away, and easy for the team to update themselves after handoff.
