website design & development
Before:
Desktop Design Weaknesses
The desktop view looks outdated and lacks a professional layout. The form fields are poorly aligned over the food image, making it cluttered and hard to use. There’s also too much empty gray space, minimal styling, and weak typography, which makes the site feel unfinished and not visually engaging.
After:
Desktop Design Strengths
The desktop view looks vibrant, modern, and very engaging. Bright colors, bold typography, and high-quality food images create an inviting atmosphere that reflects the restaurant’s lively brand. The layout is well-structured with clear calls-to-action for reservations, menus, and specials, making it easy for users to navigate and connect with the restaurant.
Before:
Tablet Design Weaknesses
The tablet view feels outdated and unpolished. The reservation form dominates the screen, pushing important content too far down, which can overwhelm users instead of engaging them. The large background food image is visually heavy and makes the text difficult to read. Navigation links at the top are small and not very touch-friendly for tablet users. Overall, the design lacks balance, modern styling, and user-friendly flow.
After:
Tablet Design Strengths
The new tablet view feels modern, vibrant, and well-structured. The bold banner at the top instantly grabs attention with clear promotions like “Fajita Thursday”, making it engaging for visitors. Navigation is neatly placed at the top, easy to access, and touch-friendly for tablet users. The large, clearly defined buttons for Reservations, Menu, Specials, and Catering make the user journey straightforward and convenient. The “Welcome” section balances text with colorful food images, creating both warmth and appetite appeal. Overall, it feels polished, professional, and inviting—perfect for a restaurant website on tablet devices.
Before:
Mobile Design Weaknesses
The old mobile view feels outdated and poorly optimized, with a cluttered layout, small fonts, and white text placed over busy food images that hurt readability. Navigation is weak since the menu is just plain text links instead of a mobile-friendly bar or hamburger menu, making it confusing for users. The reservation form takes up too much space and overwhelms the screen, while call-to-action buttons like “Order Today” or “Make a Reservation” don’t stand out enough to grab attention. Uneven spacing and inconsistent visuals further add to the unpolished feel, making the overall experience frustrating rather than smooth for mobile users.
After:
Mobile Design Strengths
The new mobile view feels modern, clear, and easy to use, with a clean layout that highlights the most important actions like reservations, store pages, and directions through bold green buttons that stand out and guide the user. The hamburger menu keeps navigation simple and uncluttered, while the bright call-to-action text, “Call us for Reservations or Order to Take out!”, is prominent and inviting. Locations are neatly listed with addresses and phone numbers, making it quick to find essential details without extra scrolling. Overall, the design is more professional, visually appealing, and user-friendly, creating a smooth and accessible mobile experience.
