How we built a website that reflects the history, luxury and experience of The Sunray in Osmington

At Mihi Digital, the best websites begin with listening, and when the team behind The Sunray in Osmington approached us to create their new website, they weren’t simply launching a pub. They were reviving a Dorset landmark – one with nearly a century of stories and history behind it.

Located in the picturesque village of Osmington on the edge of the iconic Jurassic Coast, The Sunray has undergone a remarkable transformation, and they needed a new website to reflect this. The historic pub and its neighbouring luxury holiday cottages have been carefully restored, creating a unique destination where guests can eat, drink and stay in one of Dorset’s most beautiful coastal locations.

Our role was to design a website that would capture this vision and bring it to life digitally and rather than forcing a template or rigid structure, we worked closely with the client to understand:

• the story of the pub

• the positioning of the cottages

• the type of guests they wanted to attract

• how visitors should feel when they arrive on the website

The result is a site that feels calm, aspirational and welcoming, mirroring the experience guests will have when they visit in person.
