The challenge
One company, three very different venues
Ofis 57 runs Umumi, Minister, a sports pub, and Keçi, a bar and night club with live music and DJs. Each venue has its own look and crowd, but they all belong to one group, and the site had to show both.
Guests and future staff
The site had two audiences: guests looking for a place to go and people who wanted to work in the group's businesses. Both needed a direct way to get in touch.
Turkish and English
The group serves local guests and visitors from abroad, so the content had to be available in Turkish and English.
Our approach
A group site with a page per venue
We built the site on WordPress with a short main menu: Homepage, About Us, Our Brands and Contact Us. The home page introduced the group under the headline "A Unique Brand", then led to a story block and an Our Brands section with a card for each venue.
Venue pages built around photography
Each venue page opens with the venue's own logo over a dark photo, a one-line promise and Reservation and Contact Us buttons. Below come the venue's story and a large photo gallery of the inside, bar and terrace.
Contact and applications in one form
The home page put the group's contact details next to a form. The form takes a name, email, message and a file, so people could apply to work in the group's businesses. The footer listed each venue with its logo, address in Çankaya, Ankara, and social links. A language switch stayed fixed in the corner.

What is running today
The group and its venues in one place
Visitors could read about Ofis 57 on the About Us page, browse the three venues from the home page and go straight to a venue to make a reservation or get in touch.
A consistent but flexible look
The group and venue pages shared one layout: large dark photos at the top, red details and light serif headings. Each venue still kept its own logo and photos.
Two languages
The site ran in Turkish and English, with English pages under /en and a language switch on every page.
