AYANA Resort and Spa Bali Puts Rock Bar Online

July 11, 2010 - PRLog -- The new website, located at www.ayanaresort.com/rockbarbali, features information about the venue, including menus and an events gallery, all wrapped with stunning images of the scenery that has made the Rock Bar famous.

AYANA’s PR Director, Marian Hinchliffe, states: “The Rock Bar’s popularity has exceeded even our best expectations. We receive many enquiries specifically for the venue; people asking about the hours, the menus, and the events. It’s a special place and it deserves a showcase of its own.”

Recognizing the need for a digital presence as dynamic as the destination, AYANA turned to water&stone, a full service digital agency located in Bali. “We wanted to work with a company in Bali but were initially concerned that we could not find someone here with the design skills and the understanding of our brand. water&stone, however, turned out to be a perfect match for us. The result we’ve achieved is right in line with our needs and speaks very well for the Rock Bar,” added Hinchliffe.

Ric Shreves, partner at water&stone notes: “We love projects like the Rock Bar website. A compelling product with great visuals combined with a professional and communicative client. As web designers, you really can’t ask for more. The site’s not only lovely but also functional, being backed by a full content management system that enables the client to manage and maintain the site themselves.”

AYANA and water&stone turn their attention next to another web project, to be launched this summer, so stay tuned for more! Until then, visit the Rock Bar online, or better yet, drop by for a cocktail ‘on the rocks’ at Bali’s most spectacular location for a sundowner.
