La Gourmandine is an authentic French bakery with locations in Lawrenceville and also Mt. Lebanon, PA. I believe that this bakery could be considered competition for our fusion restaurant, The Eurobean. La Gourmandine has a sleek and clean website, with a very limited palette when it comes to color scheme. However, the colors and fonts used on the site give the appearance of a modern and an upscale type of bakery. The navigation and layout on the page is very similar to ours and also easy to use, with an about us page and also hours of the bakery located on the site as well as social media information. Additionally, the site features a drop down menu with rollovers that make it very easy to know when you are able to click on something. Similar to our website, La Gourmandine has up close photographs that make the viewer’s mouth water. Compared to La Gourmandine, The Eurobean is a fusion bakery, showcasing all of the essential breads, soups, sandwiches, and pastries that different countries have to offer. Our website uses an inviting blue color, as well as a sleek and simple logo that is also playful with the coffee bean illustration. The more relaxed font and color scheme make the customers and viewers on the site feel that it isn’t expected to be high end or top notch, that they can come stop by for a quick drink or snack on their casual stroll through the neighborhood. I think that the way our site is laid out is very user friendly and the navigation through the pages is simple enough for any user to understand. The Eurobean homepage displays a carousel of photographs of items you may find in this fusion bistro. These user friendly features and eye appealing layout and photos on the site will make The Eurobean stand out over the rest as a fusion bistro.
