St. Roch Market is a 150-year-old New Orleans food hall — ten independent vendors, a full bar, and a community gathering space at 2381 St. Claude Ave. CoreRail built its entire public-facing web presence from the ground up.
St. Roch Market was running on a dated Squarespace site that couldn't handle individual vendor pages, event listings, or online ordering. Vendors had no web presence beyond the market's main page. There was no blog, no SEO strategy, and no way to book private events online.
CoreRail built a complete static website — 28 HTML pages — with individual vendor pages featuring full menus, a weekly events section, a private events booking page (capacity 200, dedicated St. Roch Butler service), eight published blog articles, and direct online ordering integration through GetSauce. The site handles 301 redirects from every old Squarespace URL so nothing breaks.
Not a template. A purpose-built site for a 150-year-old food hall.
Ten dedicated pages: Aritza's Kitchen (Cuban), CR Coffee, Dolma (Egyptian), FRSH Juice, Laksa (Burmese & Malaysian), Lin's Poke & Sushi, Olive & Co (Charcuterie), Padrona (Italian), Roch's Reprieve (Full Bar), and Salted Pearl Oyster Bar. Each with hero photography, full menus, and vendor stories.
GetSauce integration for food ordering directly from vendor pages. Square gift card sales integration. Clear CTAs throughout the site driving online orders.
Weekly recurring events: Happy Hour (M–F, $1 oysters, $4 drafts, $7 cocktails), Trivia Mondays, Wine Tasting Thursdays, $5 Mimosa Brunch (Fri–Sun). Private events page for venue rental up to 200 guests.
Schema.org structured data on every page: FoodEstablishment, Restaurant, BlogPosting, ItemList, MenuItem. Open Graph and Twitter Card tags. Comprehensive XML sitemap. Proper canonical URLs.
Interactive about page documenting St. Roch Market from its 1875 founding as Washington Market through WPA-era renovations, Hurricane Katrina damage, and the 2015 reopening. Archival imagery and editorial narrative.
