Bud&Breakfast.com currently has an old-fashioned website that does not appeal to users in general. It lacks an age gate, contains too much information on the homepage, gives sporadic location results, and slow overall processing.In addition to improving the website, we also aim to promote educational spaces by putting the focus on licensed producers.
Objectives
To de-stigmatize cannabis culture and promote learning spaces.
Allow users to get an inside scoop on the process with licensed production farm tours and present opportunities to try new products in a new space.
CannaTourism
Inviting tourists to the country to enjoy a niche experience that allows the visitors to engage in the recreational use of cannabis in a safe environment.
Say Goodbye...
To hiding the old cannabis website and “hello” to a brand new experience
Our Goals
1: Minimize Graphics
Take away unnecessary animations and large images for faster functionality.
Create buttons that open up to pages that contain other extra information.
2: Age Gate
This is to confirm that the user has reached the legal age of their state or provinceand discourage minors from entering the site and booking stays.
Require users to create an account and sign in to provide proof of age and location.
2: Licensed Farms
Search results will prioritize licensed farms over cannabis-friendly (only) accommodations.
These licensed producer farm stays will offer optional tours or workshops to educate visitors and destigmatize cannabis, while offering a hands-on experience about the process.
