The brief
Who it’s for. What it needs to do.
Let dinner plans start with the menu.
A neighborhood Italian place in Providence has two jobs online: feel like family and help people decide where to eat tonight. Food photography, a dedicated menu and a clear contact route share that work, without making anyone read the family story first.
This is a fictional business, and everything it says about itself was written for this sample.
Design decisions
A closer look at the choices behind the pages.
Make the menu easy to reach
Menu has its own link in the header. Dishes are listed row by row, which suits people deciding what to order. A full-width photograph gives the homepage its atmosphere, and the navigation handles the practical part.
Carry the warmth into the gallery
The gallery lines up food and dining-room photos in a strip. A centered header and quieter type hold the pages together, and Contact is close by for anyone ready to book a table.
The visitor’s path
From the first question to the next step.

Get a sense of the restaurant ↗
The gallery and the About page, where Nonno Ferrante opens the doors in 1962, give the place its history.
