Category: ARTM2210 Intro to Web

     I chose to review and compare no.9park.com and burgatorybar.com for this assignment.

     To start the No.9 Park Website is easy to navigate and pleasing to look at. They use a Hierarchical/ Sequence architecture and Global/Secondary Navigation. This makes the site user friendly and easy to follow. This site gives off a classy and put together feel that you may not get from other sites. It shows that this restaurant is expensive and elegant without being too in your face about it. This site contains a nice balance of images and text so as not to overwhelm the user. These elements also work together to provide a positive viewing experience. Overall this site has a clear hierarchy and layout making it in my opinion an easy to use and enjoyable site.

     The Burgatory site is much different from the first in regards to style but everything else is pretty similar. While No. 9 Park was classy, Burgatory is more of a Trendy site. It too uses Hierarchical/Sequence architecture along with Global/Secondary Navigation. It is user friendly and easy to navigate just like the first site. The websites design and navigation makes it fun and interesting to navigate. You can tell from this site that this is a fun and trendy place to eat. While this site relies mainly on pictures to attract its audience there is enough supplemental text to get the point across. This site does not overwhelm or frustrate, so I would say overall that it is user friendly due to its clear hierarchy and layout.

     Overall, I enjoyed both websites. They both were different yet both had similar setups. I think I enjoyed the No. 9 Park site more simply because it looked cleaner. It was not as in  your face as Burgatory was and I think that it works to the sites advantage.

The website for the La Cocinita Food Truck (https://lacocinitafoodtruck.com) would be considered competition for our fusion restaurant; as we are both food trucks looking to sell our food to people on the street. The first thing I noticed while visiting this site is that the website has a red background; and according to “The Principles of Beautiful Web Design” red is known to “increase human metabolism,” meaning that it’s smart to have a food related site on a red background, as it will make the viewers of your page hungrier. On a similar note, the company’s truck is also red, having the same effect as the site background, making customers want food. The main accent color is a shade of mustard yellow, with the text on the red background standing out well. Yellow is “associated with happiness” to quote “The Principles of Beautiful Web Design,” making yellow a friendly option when used to offset the red. They also use this deep tone of yellow for the background color of their main navigation bar. The reason this color is an accent color as opposed to the main color, is that “too much yellow can be overpowering.” The La Cocinita website uses color well, and is not tough on the viewer’s eyes because of it. Something that stood out to me was the fact that the top NavBar had some items present drop down menus on a hover, but not all of them. I liked the look of having different styles on one NavBar, it makes the site look more diverse or have more depth in my opinion. The layout of the site is okay, I feel that the sharp corners of everything on the page looks kind of harsh, but I did like things such as the auto scrolling gallery on the homepage, and the idea of pictures showing the progression of the truck. The site has no apparent texture, as everything on the site is just a plain, solid color. The only elements that could have texture on the site are the pictures, but only two of the pictures actually load when you click “Food Pics” under the Photo tab. The site feels quite “blocky” due to the sharp corners on the images and the straight bars surrounding the headers on the other pages. One thing that I really liked, and I’m now planning on incorporating into my group’s final project, is that on the La Cocinita home page they have pictures of the logos for Twitter, FaceBook, and Instagram. Should you click on one of these pictures, it will take you to the company’s page on that particular social media source. The menu is laid out differently, as with our site we will be listing specific dishes to incorporate the fusion aspect of the restaurant, but La Cocinita has a menu set up like a Chipotle or Moe’s, which consists of pick a vessel, pick a protein, pick sauces, toppings, etc. This site is an okay webpage (5.5 or 6/10) as far as getting the job done, but our group plans on making our web page more refined than the La Cocinita, through CSS styling and slicing. The World Showcase site will have some similar elements, such as a NavBar up top, a logo above it, and obviously many similar page ideas. However our stylization of the website would be much cleaner, with a more luxurious and homely feel than the La Cocinita, establishing the World Showcase as an elite food truck.

https://www.onionmaiden.com

I chose to do my final review on an Asian fusion restaurant called ,Onion Maiden.

This restaurant is very similar to theme and style that we chose for our restaurant, Black Diamond. The Layout they chose for their website is very well communicated throughout the entire site. It is very cohesive on every page. The color scheme chosen is black and white. “Black often receives negative connotations such as death and evil”(pg 49). This is perfect for the theme they are going for. They want to reach the heavy metal music crowd just as we did. The Onion Maiden color scheme is very similar to our website which uses white, black, light blue, and grey. As for the “texture” of this website I would describe it as rough. I chose this word because the website makes you feel like your in a world of darkness. The website is very good at explaining the vibe that the restaurant wants the viewer to perceive. The Onion Maiden website is also very user friendly to navigate. At the bottom of each back there is a “back to home” button which makes things very easy for someone trying to move fast through their site. I actually think that we could have learned alot from this website had I discovered it sooner. That being said I think we do still compete with their site. Their website is much more simple and easy to get through and I think if we had done that it would have helped the overall effectiveness of our site.

For this review, I looked into Salud Juciery’s website. Their website is very simple and clean. The layout is like most other restaurants, with a logo followed by the tabs at the top. Under this, they inserted a photo and a statement about their restaurant. The website I am working on for the final is very similar in regards to the homepage. Off of the homepage there are pages like, “Menu, “About Us”, and “Order Online”. These pages are similar to the homepage because they are short and simple. There isn’t a lot of information to scroll to. The layout including the header and footer stay the same on each page. In the footer, they linked their social media accounts and have a way to get in contact with them. My final website will have these same features.

The color palette is very limited on each page other than the photos. The background is a white/cream and has black text. The only pop of color is in the logo at the top of each page. These colors don’t work well to create a welcoming atmosphere but make it seem modern.

Overall, the website is very plain which makes it easy to navigate. There are clear tabs at the top of each page to lead you to another. The header and footer remain constant to help viewers find the information they are looking for. There aren’t any special elements that keep the viewers attention though. Even on the menu page, the ingredients are just listed under the titles. If there were photos to click on and read about it would be more interactive and fun. The simplistic layout gets the point across but doesn’t offer anything more.

Our website will be pretty similar in terms of information and layout. However, we are going to include more colors and photos to add energy to the pages. For example, our menu page is something you would see at the restaurant rather than just a list of food and ingredients. Salud rarely uses pictures which are very important to restaurants. Viewers immediately judge a place off of what they see online.

Review #4:

The website that I have chosen that is very similar to my groups “Eye-Pop” Page is giraffe.com.  I have chosen this page for several reasons. These reasons include the color of the website, the type of layout, and the images created.  These are just a few reasons why I chose this website.

The first reason why I chose this website was because of how similar our colors were.  When designing Eye-Pop, we designed it with bright colors with dark backgrounds. When seeing giraffe.com, the first colors that made my eye pop was the yellows, pinks, and blues.  This was the first reason why I feel like giraffe.com is similar to our Eye-Pop page.

The second reason why I chose giraffe.com is because the layout of the website.  The layout is very similar to our eye-pop page. I looked on a few of their pages and they have very similar different layouts.  I feel like we have a similar layout because ours is clear and simple but still will catch the readers eye.

The third reason why I feel like Eye-Pop and giraffe.com are similar are because of the vector graphics featured on the page.  When looking at a website, you usually just see real photographs that someone took. Even though giraffe.com has some real images, most of the side images that are shown are all vector images. I find it unique to not only have real photos on your web page.

All in all, I feel like giraffe.com is very similar to our Eye-Pop page. I feel like our website will pop out a little more than giraffe.com.  I feel like Eye-Pop includes several more colors, little animations, and cool images. These are just a few reasons how I feel that giraffe.com is a similar website to Eye-Pop.     

Subzero ice cream
I like how they got links in the header so you don’t got to scroll down. Now for the lay out, it’s amazing because the store is in the the background. Now it’s not amazing the store is in the background it’s amazing because the store is colorful and it go with website and how they use multiple colors circles to look like ice cream flavor. Subzero ice cream stated that “we’ve been making irresistible, award-winning ice cream for 50 years, so we think we’re pretty good at it. But you should try for yourself tasting is believing!”. Next you can see how creative they get with their act work, from the looks of it the art work it a vector Illustration. I really like how they illustrated the tubes of ice crane showing off their flavors. Last thing is under our story they have a slide show of the store highlights over their 50 years.

Eat’N Park
Eat’N Park have a slide show under the header. The slide show have deals, specials and trying to get people to come in for breakfast.
The lay out is good, use of color well balanced, everything comes together well and it’s very simple. At the top of the website they try to get your order or come in. Now when you go down a little further it talks about their youth sports sponsorship and also want to join the Eat’N Park club. Now it’s time to camper it to No. 9 Park (restaurants). No. 9 park used a overlay for their web page. The don’t got a lot of words but a lot of white space. No.9 Park try to let pictures speak for themselves also give you information on the owner, wine director, general manager and chief DE Cuisine. Eat’N Park don’t have that.

For the final review, I found a restaurant and website named Metro Diner. They have a very similar layout to the website our group and I are making, and we have the diner theme going on as well. We may not have the exact same food, but it could definitely be considered competition. To begin, the layout of the website when clicking on is organized with a slideshow, displaying photos talking about hiring, catering options, and upcoming events. As you scroll down, delicious pictures of food are shown, specifically specials, and a few customer reviews are placed.  They all have five stars, and a thoughtful paragraph of their experience there. On to color, their theme seems to be dark grey, white, yellow, and green.  I feel like it could work for their brand, but I think that’s kind of ugly.  But if it’s their thing, it’s their thing. There is a lot of texture on site almost everywhere.  At the top of the page, the grey appears to be a concrete type of background.  The letters in the ads are neat, but have a scribbled look to them.  Moving down, it shows a white wooden background, with paint strokes in a bright yellow, with green text on top.  All of the food appears to be crispy, juicy, and fresh when examining the pictures. When looking at navigation, Metro Diner has a navi bar at the top of the page containing Home, Menus, Locations, Catering, About Us, and Careers. I feel like this is normal for a restaurant to have those.  When in mobile, there is a little tab that can be pressed where all of that information is shown.  When comparing this diner to our website, a lot of similarities can be found.  But, ours I feel like will stand out more because of a few things.  Our colors are brighter and cuter, we have delicious, unusual fusion foods that other places never would have.  Our prices are cheap, too. I think we have a pretty strong competition with Metro Diner, but I feel like we have a stronger eatery. 

I chose to review no9park.com and primantibros.com. Both websites seem to be setup in a similar way when you scroll down the pages. No. 9 Park is displayed in a simplistic and effective way. It gets their message across, without too much being flashy or in your face. When scrolling down the page, the website tells you about the location, the team, and gives you ways of keeping up with the restaurant on social media, contact information, hours, and links to other parts of the website. At the top right of the website, there are tab options in simple and readable font. The tabs are, “Reservation”, “Menu”, “The Bar Room”, “Private Dining”, “Wine Program”, “Cocktail Classes” and “Upcoming Events.” All of the tabs work and link appropriately to their respective categories. When mousing over the tabs, they change to a darker color to emphasize that you are on the correct tab and make sure you are clicking on the right one. When you are on said tab, the color changes to a light blue color to show you which tab you are currently on. The light blue color keeps with the color scheme the website has going on. Everything on the screen is very balanced, centered and put together. There is a lot of negative space that works well with helping keep things balanced and adds to their simplistic look.

The other website I looked at was Primanti Bros website. It has a similar setup with scrolling down the page and having a landscape setup as you scroll. On this website, there’s not a lot of negative space used like in No. 9 Park. They have a lot of pictures that fill out the screen in different sections explaining different things. They have some tabs in the upper right of the screen similar to No. 9 Park, but they function a little differently. The tabs they have are the, “Locations & Menus,” “Order Online,” “Our Story,” “Promos,” “Shipping,” and “Jobs.” When you mouse over their tabs, a box will appear around the tab to clearly show which tab you are mousing over. When you are on the page you select from the tabs, it does not change the color of the tab like it does on No. 9 Parks. The logo on the top of the page gets bigger and brighter when you mouse over it, so you can click it to go back to the homepage. Everything on this website is as well balanced, but in a different way from the other website. Theirs is balanced with all the of the stuff they have on the pages, it brings unity to the website as a whole, keeping each page consistent. They put an emphasis on certain buttons on the page with a blue color. Everything else is mostly red, beige, or black, but the logo and social media for example, have a blue color to them to bring emphasis to them.

Both of the websites I’ve looked over and reviewed are both very pleasing to the eye, and function is different ways. They both are easy to navigate, clean and concise.

For this review I’ve decided to explore the No. 9 Park restaurant website, as well as that of Primanti Bros. Starting with the No. 9 Park website, it has a very clean-cut layout. On every page of the site, there is either the option to scroll down the page using the mouse, while also having access to buttons that either take you to the next section of the page, or take you directly to the top/bottom of the page. Also what is very likable is the use of open space on the page. To divide the pages into sections, they do a nice job of having an image appear in the open space, with a title for the next section overlaying the image. The image itself and the text give a clear description as to what the viewer is about to read next. As for the Primanti Bros site, it has a fairly simple layout, with some intriguing factors. One would be the use of “neon-light” style text for the title of each individual page. This gives a unique sort of feel to the restaurant itself, giving it a more urban style. Also on different pages of the site, they implement photo gallery type side scrolling to display specials, locations, and even for ordering online. What is noticeable for both sites is that they include links to different portions of the site, both at the bottom of the page, while also on the top navigation section. This allows easy access for the viewer to go to any page of the site no matter where they are on the page. I feel like the Primanti Bros website stands out more to the viewer, strictly because of their use of more vibrant colors throughout the site, but also their defining images and header text on each page, that really pull the viewer in making them want to eat that food.

No. Park VS Six Penn Kitchen

I began this review by looking at Six Penn Kitchen website. I noticed that the color scheme is uniform and the grid system layout helps to keep the blocks of images balanced on the page. They show an emphasis on the fact that they are closing and make that very clear to the viewers. Next up I looked at No. 9 Park Website which I found much better. It is very easy to navigate. The color scheme is clean and uniform as well. They also layout at the top of the display all of the possible places on the site you can visit. They show emphasis on their chefs which is a key aspect of the restaurant. I think that overall No. 9 Park has a very well crafted website that is pleasing to the eye.

no9park.com

eatnpark.com

No. 9 Park’s homepage makes use of navigational tabs at the top of the page and then the main space uses a hierarchy of information starting from the most general information about the restaurant to more specific information as user scroll down the page. At the bottom of the page, the information about the restaurant’s staff also includes to tabs that lead to another page in order to learn more about each of them. The navigational tabs at the top of the page follow users everywhere they go on the page and even includes subsections for each tab so that users can find what they are looking for through link dominated navigation.

The website’s use of unity can be seen in the dark color scheme throughout the whole site that carries over into the atmosphere of the physical restaurant as evidenced through the photographs of No. 9 Park on every page. The site never looks too heavy either, using lights and darks to keep the site balanced and still emphasize the most important pieces of information, which can be seen on the homepage through the “headings” of each section as it introduces users to what the sections are about (“…Flagship Restaurant,” “The Space,” “Our Team”).

Eat’n Park’s homepage utilizes as similar style as No. 9 Park. The tabs lead users to different sections of the site with ease. The top of the page also includes a search bar so that users can find the Eat’n Park nearest to them. The main space on the homepage possesses 5 sections that users will encounter as they scroll down the page: Featured Deals, New Items, a link to order Smiley Cookies through smileycookie.com, Sponsorships, and Loyalty Program information. Other pages feature matrices, allowing users to filter what they are looking for based on dietary needs and nutritional calculators. The others include subheaders, facilitating link dominant navigation like No. 9 Park’s site.

The Eat’n Park site also uses its orange/blue complementary color scheme throughout creating a uniform look. The balance of the site is also maintained through the color scheme as well as graphics that are featured on the left and right sides of the pages that contain elements bringing them back to the middle of the page. Tabs are also found in the middle of the page in order to keep the balance. The graphics on these pages are also used as a form of emphasis, drawing users’ attention to benefits, like the loyalty section on the homepage, with a stamp graphic that says “Save over $50.”These restaurants utilize very similar techniques in their websites, from the tab sections that follow users everywhere to the informational hierarchy that becomes apparent as users scroll. Overall both of the sites use these elements very well, and to their advantage. However, I believe that eatnpark.com uses these elements more proficiently and with their users in mind. This belief is solidified by the speed that users can find what they are searching for on the Eat’n Park website much faster. The addition of the “Find Us” search bar at the top of the page gives this website the edge over no9park.com. The site assumes that some users might only be looking for a physical store location and caters to those users by making that information available almost immediately, without any scrolling. No. 9 Park does have their location available but not as readily; keeping the address at the very bottom of their pages, making users spend more time searching than they would on Eat’n Park’s website.

What some might consider the most important aspect of of a website is the overall user interface, and after having read chapter six of “Don’t make me think” and looking over various websites, I can clearly see as to why that is. No matter the website, who ever searches one needs to be able to understand how to navigate it. Having a website layout that is too vague could have the viewer spending to much of their time attempting to find what their looking for. On the other hand, a website that breaks down everything it has to offer means that the developer has to spend an unnecessary amount of time creating it, and the viewer has to dig through link after link to reach their goal. While examining multiple websites, the two that caught my attention in terms of understanding the site were for the restaurants No. 9 Park, in Boston, MA. and the Cheesecake Factory. Both these sites have a simple style which allows for easy navigation and understanding.

What these two sites had that made them both stand out from other websites was their subtle layout and visuals. In terms of No. 9 Park, it has a clean, sophisticated look that matches the experience and service someone would get if they were there. From entering the site, the homepage tells about the restaurant and its location, staff, and cuisine. From the homepage, the contents are clearly labeled across the top and all the different opinions the restaurant provides are shown, and clicking them brings you to a page in similar design to the homepage. One of the things a liked about No. 9’s website was the well balanced and simplicity it had to every page. Each page is designed to show only the important information without any unnecessary distraction. For example, the basic layout of any page can described as such, it begins with the title of whatever the page holds, which paired with a image is used to divide the the headings from the following text and whatever other information that page may have. The simple layout of dividing the page as you scroll makes for easy navigation and great layout. However, one issue I have with the site lies in its lack of emphasis. What I mean in this case is how little the site does to show off the restaurants entire purpose for existence, its food. While it may not seem like a big deal, I felt that while even thought the large pictures used to divide up each section are eye-catching, when it comes down to looking through the various menus, there isn’t any way to show emphasis exactly what you would get. While overall aesthetic of the website works great for the restaurant, and makes it simple to navigate, it just feels like you’re not seeing every aspect it has to offer.

In terms of layout and simplicity, The Cheesecake Factory was one of the best websites I explored. Upon entering the site, the homepage consists entirely of a single, non-scrolling page. With a few scrolling pictures detailing their latest information, that’s all there is to the homepage. Now assuming the next thing someone wanted to see was the menu, across the top of the page are the links to other pages, so it’s very simple to find the menu. What I like about the menu is how it’s presented. Instead of bring brought to another page with row of items and information, what they decided to do is to have a small window appear which contains information leading to their various appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Upon finding what you want, or what sounds appealing to you, you can click on it and will be show a picture and details which describe it. Personally, I like this approach to the menu better than No. 9 Park for one reason, while No. 9 doesn’t have a ridiculous amount of pages by any means, the way The Cheesecake Factory presents theirs in a more organized and understandable format makes for a smooth transition from one item to the next. However, another more opinionated reason I like The Cheesecake Factory’s menu is because they’ve provided a picture to go along with each menu item. I feel this gives the viewer something more to entice them and have them further explore. Aside from the menu, the overall layout of the site works, everything is clearly laid out across the top and makes sense to someone anyone new to the site. There’s a simple aesthetic that remains professional, while still seeming amusing and modern. The Cheesecake Factory has a great website that provides all the needed information a restaurant should have at first glance and anything else is a simple click away.                   

I would consider the overall layout and design of these two sites to be a good resource and a standard for anyone looking to design a website for their own restaurant. (or any company for that matter.) Of course, like anyone would have, there are some changes I would think to make for each, but in this case, I don’t think my ideas have anything to do with how someone would interact with or come to understand either website. For an example, for No. 9 Park, I would simply think to dial back the sophistication aspect of it and introduce a more modern vibe, similar to the of the Cheesecake Factory. (As well as more pictures of course.) Not saying that both websites are perfect, but when it comes to designing a site for any company, it needs to function in a way that tells something about the company while also providing all the necessary information. With that in mind, I think both No. 9 Park and The Cheesecake Factory are each an excellent example of websites that demonstrating layout, emphasis, and unity for anyone looking into creating their own.

For Review 3, I chose the websites for two restaurants, Burgatory and No. 9 Park.  They are both probably great places to enjoy a meal, and they seem to be expensive from their websites. To begin, I’ll start with Burgatory, the more causal of the two. When you enter the page, you are immediately greeted with images of the eatery, people having a good time, and delicious food. It places an emphasis on feeling good, and basically having a good time while you’re there, which is probably the goal for any establishment. This makes me want to go to the nearest Burgatory soon, so I assume that is what the audience will desire as well. It is a simple and easy to understand layout, with the logo placed at the top, a slideshow, and a little bit about the company underneath. The colors are muted and neutral, and nothing is too in your face. The dark brown, grey, and red tones complement each other nicely. There are links along the header with more information on close locations, an in-depth menu, and various social media platforms the restaurant is on. In the reading, Krug explains how when customers go into a store, they go through a process to find exactly what they came in there for. They also explain how that is pretty much the same for websites and on the internet, and that a smooth and easy to navigate page is a good option to go with. It is extremely important that any company, regardless if it is a restaurant or not, has a layout that a large variety of audiences can understand.

            Moving onto the next establishment, No. 9 Park, this is a bit different to the prior. We are greeted with a photo of what I am assuming to be the outside of the restaurant, and you have to scroll to see more. It is wordier than Burgatory’s and uses sweet-sounding adjectives to describe the environment in the first part. You are then shown a picture of the dining area, with glasses and silverware neatly aligned. Finally, we see information about the team, the owner, and so on. I think it is an interesting approach, and could work well with the audience to get in touch with the restaurant. The color palette is dark brown, white, and a tiffany blue. It is a well-organized layout, and there is an emphasis on the history and actual making of No. 9 Park.  The other tabs are placed at the top, with more to read pertaining to the menu and reservations. Overall, it is an informative, and neatly stylized website. 

            I feel as though both restaurants did a nice job of showing who they are, and what they can offer customers when or if they are looking to eat at one of these establishments. Nothing is out of the ordinary with them, and both pages do make you feel a certain way. But, I would have to say Burgatory is the winner between the two. Not that No. 9 Park is bad, but a few things made me not like it as much. First, there are no pictures of food on their website. The whole reason for a restaurant is to eat, and I feel like it is not smart to not incorporate any of the products onto the page that would probably be viewed the most by consumers. People might go out of their way to find the menu, but wouldn’t you want to be greeted with a good-looking meal? Next, there are a lot of words on the site. Not that it is a negative thing, but it seems as though it is more of a report about the restaurant than the actual eatery. It is nice to include the behind the scenes stuff about the place on the page, but I would suggest maybe putting that in the tabs above, and replacing that space with the best-selling dish or popular meal. I did not read everything that popped up when I entered the site, and I’m not sure that the majority would either. But to conclude, I do believe Burgatory and No. 9 Park have strong websites that really show the audience what they are about. With a few tweaks, it could be even better though!

Since I am working on a milkshake / cereal fusion restaurant, I looked into http://www.cerealboxinc.com and https://www.playabowls.com. The Cereal Box’s website was very bright and colorful which is how I imagine cereal. Off of the homepage, there are seven tabs for different pages like “Events”, “Menu”, and “Location/Hours”. As you scroll through the home page, the images stay in fixed positions but the information rolls over it. This makes the page more interesting since the images stay in place and then disappear rather than having every object move while scrolling. These photos are also very important to the page. This allows viewers and customers to check out what the restaurant looks like and what types of food to expect. Poor quality photos can turn away customers so it is important to look professional and trustworthy. Menu design is also very critical for restaurants. Again, customers can be turned away if they do not find the menu to look aesthetically pleasing or professional. The Cereal Box’s menu really matches the aesthetic of the food and restaurant. They used bright colors yet again and have a very playful logo. Just looking at the layout and colors makes me want to read what is on it and visit the restaurant. Overall, the website is very organized and clean.

Next, I looked into the website for Playa Bowls. Right away, the logo and homepage described the mood/audience for the restaurant. The bright colors and “beachy” logo match perfectly for a place that serves smoothie bowls and fruit. Right away I was more impressed with their website than The Cereal Box’s. The photographs of the food were a higher quality and very clean. This automatically makes the food they are trying to sell look very appetizing. The homepage had a few graphics on the sides of the page that add to the mood. My favorite part of this page was a gif that changed to show all of the different smoothie bowls they sell. Instead of having multiple photos, they made it almost like a stop motion video. Just like the other website, there were different tabs for different pages. The menu was made up of different photos. This showed the variations of bowls, ingredients, and the smoothies. One interactive element on this page was shown when I clicked on the photos. At the top of the menu, the different bases for a smoothie bowl are listed. If you decide which one you are interested in, you can click it and the website will scroll to that exact location for more information. This makes things very easy to find. These options are also listed at the top of the page and work the same way.

Overall, I’ve noticed that layout, color, and photography are very important when it comes to websites for restaurants. The layout and color scheme should match the appearance and mood of the restaurant. Since I was looking at a cereal and smoothie bowls, the designs were very modern, sleek, and bright. More expensive/fancy restaurants tend to have dark and organic color schemes along with cleaner layouts.
