SECTOR:
Hospitality / Outdoor
Field Station is a new lodging brand built for the outdoor community—bringing lodging, gear, and community under one roof, with early locations in Moab and Joshua Tree. Our brief: design a booking-forward web experience that still communicates the brand’s inclusive, adventure-ready vibe.
The Problem
Balance story + utility: showcase gear, guides, and community while making booking effortless.
Support multiple destinations and product types (e.g., rooms and “Van Life” posts) within one coherent UI.
Build a responsive system that’s quick on mobile and scalable as new locations open. (Moab opened in 2023; Joshua Tree followed.)
Our Approach
Design paths around real intents, then systematize.
Intent-led IA. Clear routes for “Book a room,” “Reserve a Van Life post,” “See offers,” and “Explore the area.”
Booking always handy. Persistent booking entry (dates/guests) and high-contrast CTAs that remain visible as users scroll.
Location model. Reusable templates for each destination with a location switcher and consistent content blocks (Rooms, Van Life, Offers, Amenities).
Card-first UI. Scannable room and post cards with key specs up front; detail pages highlight essentials, gallery, and what’s included.
Accessibility & speed. Mobile-first tap targets, color/contrast checks, and asset discipline so pages stay fast.
(Delivered in partnership with Wallop’s hospitality team.)
What We Made
Design system with tokens for type, color, spacing, and state styles to keep pages consistent.
Component library: location switcher, booking header, room/post cards, rate & offer modules, map/amenity blocks, FAQs.
Responsive patterns for galleries, accordions, and long-scroll content that still surface the next action.
Content guidelines for headings, benefits, inclusions, and policies to keep copy direct and on-brand.
Outcomes
Simpler booking path across locations and stay types; fewer dead ends and clearer next steps.
Scalable UI that supports new destinations and promotions without redesign.
Brand carried through the UX so the “lodging + gear + community” proposition stays visible while guests move to book.
