Just another Intro to… site

Project 3: Multipage website – Fusion Restaurant

Your task is to create a web site for a fusion restaurant. The site should establish identity and branding, be easily navigated and attract foodies, that are tech savvy and between the ages of 18 and 35. The site should highlight specialties, locations, chef bios, reviews, either on online order or reservation page, other page ideas could include events, weekly or daily specials, (they could also sell products… t-shirts, sauces), etc.

As web designers, you should research the competition and suggest additional content for the site. The site should establish solid identity and branding by creating an online atmosphere that is representative of a physical location (choose: the south side, squirrel hill or the cultural district).
