Website Design Concept
Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa
The resort holds the village's only on-site mineral springs, so our concept explains the water as carefully as it presents the rooms.
This is a design concept: a website we designed as a proposal for Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa. It was not commissioned, and West Coast Media Solutions is not affiliated with Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa.
At a Glance
Ninety minutes east of Vancouver on Harrison Lake, Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa fills five mineral pools from springs just up the shoreline. We laid the concept out as one long page in eleven sections: the springs, rooms and cottages, five places to eat and drink, the spa, lake and mountain experiences, packages, the resort's history, directions and an enquiry form.

The Brief
When a resort holds the only mineral springs in its village, the water is the story. So the design had to explain where that water comes from and how each pool feels, before carrying a guest on to rooms, dining and the spa.
- Explain the source: two springs up the shoreline, piped, filtered and cooled into five pools.
- Help guests choose a pool by temperature and mood, from deep heat to cooler water for lengths.
- Show the range of rooms, from the original hotel of the 1920s to bungalows by the river.
- Offer two ways to commit: a Check availability button up front and an enquiry form at the close.
What We Designed
Since 1886 sits above the headline, Soak in the source, with two buttons beneath it: check availability or see the five pools. A row of four figures follows (pools, mineral concentration, years on the lake, minutes from Vancouver), and a short strip states the essentials: the only mineral springs in the village, two indoor and three outdoor pools, open daily until 1am, guests only.
The water section is the centrepiece. It lays the pools along a scale from hotter to cooler, each with its temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit, whether it is indoors or out, and a tag such as Quiet Zone, Adults only or Accessible entry. Fraunces gives the headlines warmth, Mulish keeps the reading easy and touches of Space Mono add a measured, almost scientific note, while a near-white page and deep lake teal keep the palette cool and clear.
Hot-to-cool scale
Five pools ordered by temperature, from the indoor Sitting Pool to cooler water suited to swimming lengths.
Source story
Potash and sulphur springs, mineral concentration and the cooling process explained in plain language.
Rooms by setting
Lakefront, poolside, original hotel and riverside bungalow options, each named for where it sits.
Getting here
A section headed Ninety minutes east of Vancouver, with an embedded map for planning the drive.
How We Achieved It
Navigation follows the order of a stay: the springs, stay, dining, spa, experiences, offers and visit, with the reservations number and Book your stay at the end of the bar. A skip to main content link lets keyboard and screen reader users bypass the menu, and the family pool's sloped, wheelchair-friendly entry is flagged right where guests compare the pools.
An enquiry form under Come and let it all sink in asks for dates, guest numbers and a message, so a reply can be specific to the stay. A separate newsletter signup takes an email address only. Both forms carry spam protection, and the footer repeats the full structure, from weddings and events to directions.
