The orchard, pressed onto the page.

Tell the orchard’s story

Apple varieties, orchard blocks and pressings as readable pages. The provenance people pay for, written where search engines can find it.

Keep up with the seasons

Cider moves with the calendar. Seasonal drops, harvest events and rotating taps publish in minutes and retire themselves when they are gone.

Sell where it's legal

Cider shipping rules borrow wine’s paperwork and beer’s margins. Checkout offers bottles and cans only where compliance allows, wired to your shipper and till.

Win the visit

Hours, directions and what is on the board come first, structured so "cideries near me" asked of Google or ChatGPT answers with your name.

Golden Road Vineyards

Stave’s first client, a Yadkin Valley vineyard. Different pour, same bones: visit-first pages, a real page per pressing, and commerce wired to the till.

Can we keep our POS and shipper?

Usually, yes. Stave connects to systems like Square, Toast, Vinoshipper, and Mailchimp. Where a connection does not exist, I build it for how your cidery runs.

Who updates the site after launch?

Whoever answers the phone on a Saturday. New pressings, hours and events are plain forms, with no developer needed. I stay on for care month to month, no lock-in.

What does "cited by AI" actually mean?

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google where to drink cider nearby, those systems pull from sites they can parse and trust. I structure your pressings, hours, and orchard so the answer includes you — by name, with a link.

How long does a cidery site take?

Depends on scope, since a taproom site moves faster than a full commerce-and-club build. Either way you'll see working pages early, not mockups, and the number comes after the first conversation.
