Design and development

Maison Olive is a made-up bistro, but anyone running a restaurant knows the challenge: the guest has already decided to eat out, the only question is where. The concept shows how a restaurant website can sell the evening before it has even started, and works just as well for a neighbourhood restaurant as for a city-centre bistro.

The challenge

Restaurant websites often come in two flavours: a PDF menu from 2019 or an image slider that takes longer to load than the starter. Meanwhile, guests usually decide on their phone, on the way home from work. That is when the menu, opening hours and table booking need to be right there, not three clicks away.

The solution

We let the food and the atmosphere do the work. Large images, a short and clear menu with prices right on the page, and a tone that feels like the bistro itself. Book a table is always close at hand, opening hours are on the home page and the booking form only asks what it needs: date, time and how many of you there are. The result is a site that makes you hungry, and makes it easy to do something about it.

What’s included

  • Book a table one click away from every page
  • The menu as real text with prices, not a PDF
  • Opening hours and address right on the home page
  • Photography and typography that convey the atmosphere
  • A booking form that only asks what it needs
  • Built for mobile, where most table bookings begin

Maison Olive does not exist. We designed and built the concept during an internship at a web agency. Names, menu, prices, reviews and contact details on the site are made-up examples.
