From the moment you pass through the estate gates and along the cobblestone paths, to the time you can spend wandering our working vineyard and rose covered arbors, you’ll know you have discovered a uniquely exquisite destination. Located approximately 40 miles from downtown Los Angeles and Burbank Airport the hotel extends over 17 landscaped acres and is a short drive from the scenic Malibu coastline, the Performing Arts Center, Ronald Reagan Library, high-end shopping areas and many notable corporate headquarters.

With the great results seen from the Bogie’s Bar Concrete5 based site (located on the same property), we set out to redesign the already-existing static Westlake Village Inn site.

Designed from an existing site, this project required ground-up rewriting of the code in pure HTML and CSS for the Westlake Village Inn. Afterwards, we implemented the site into Concrete5 so that the Inn staff could easily make changes and keep their content current.

Major plans are currently underway to expand the site further thanks to the vast extensibility of the Concrete5 CMS.

DanceConnectLA is a portal for local DJ’s and music enthusiasts in the Hollywood, CA area.

It’s a very elegant demonstration of Concrete5, one of my favorite content management systems. It allows for simple, GUI-based updates so that clients can take control of their sites, rather than having to pay costly maintenance fees for minor changes. So, check it out!

Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6 and Safari 4 are required for the effects to work properly — iPhones and iPod Touches with OS 3.0 and newer also work!. Sorry Windows users and late OS X adopters!
