34 Durham is an apart hotel and bar based in Durham. The business needed a public-facing website that could present the venue clearly, support customer interest, and give the business a professional online presence.
FenJar designed and built the website from scratch — a clean, mobile-friendly site that covers both the accommodation and bar sides of the business in a way that feels professional, local, and easy to understand.
The brief
34 Durham needed a website that did a few things well rather than trying to do everything. The priorities were clear:
- Present the apart hotel and bar as a single, coherent venue
- Give potential guests and visitors the information they need quickly
- Work well on mobile — most visitors would find the site on their phone
- Feel professional without being over-designed or corporate
- Make it easy for customers to get in touch or make an enquiry
This was not a complex web application. It was a straightforward business website — but it needed to be done properly, with care taken over the structure, layout, and how the business comes across to someone visiting for the first time.
What was built
The website was designed and built as a clean, single-page site with a clear structure that guides visitors through the venue — rooms, bar, location, and how to get in touch.
The design was kept intentionally simple. Hospitality websites work best when they let the venue speak for itself — clear imagery, easy navigation, and no unnecessary clutter.
Why it matters
Not every project needs to be a SaaS platform or a mobile app. Some businesses just need a well-built website that presents them properly and works on every device.
34 Durham shows that FenJar handles this kind of work too — taking a real business, understanding what they need online, and building something clean and professional that actually gets used.
What this project covers
- Understanding a hospitality business and its customers
- Designing a clear, mobile-friendly layout
- Writing and structuring content that works for guests and visitors
- Building and launching a live public website
- Delivering a professional online presence for a real business
The result
A live website for a real apart hotel and bar business, available at 34durham.co.uk.
The site gives 34 Durham a professional online presence that covers both sides of the business — accommodation and bar — in a way that is clear, approachable, and easy to navigate on any device.
Different from PatrolSync — and that is the point
PatrolSync was a full SaaS platform with mobile apps, dashboards, QR scanning, and Stripe billing. 34 Durham is a hospitality website. They are completely different projects.
That range is deliberate. FenJar is not limited to one type of software. Whether the project is a complex product or a clean business website, the same principles apply: understand the problem, build something practical, and launch something that works.
