Client Needs

As the state’s leading distilling association, the Maryland Distillers Guild needed a new online presence that would represent the importance of this vibrant and going industry. The new website needed to accommodate multiple administrators and editors, provide detailed information about the many distilleries across the state of Maryland, and also offer legislative information and resources to its members.

Client Solution

Built on the WordPress platform, the new Maryland Distillers Guild website includes complete content management, social media integrations, a responsive layout, an interactive map of Maryland distilleries, and detailed information about each of its member companies. The site also includes private members sections where distilleries can share information and discuss legislative and industry news, post classified ads, and participate in member forums.

The Maryland Distiller Guild keeps the focus on its members, with craft beverage industry news, state legislation, new business resources, and a member directory that features distillery events, products, and news that can be maintained by its membership.
