Challenges
The first major challenge was crafting a distinctive visual identity for the restaurant through custom illustrations and modern design patterns.
The second challenge was empowering the restaurant staff to manage and update the menu with minimal technical effort.
Solutions
To establish a unique design language, I created custom illustrations and interface elements in Adobe XD, drawing inspiration from high-end food branding and modern design trends. The result was a polished, inviting layout that conveyed the restaurant's personality and values.
For content management, I integrated Notion as a lightweight CMS. This allowed the restaurant owner to easily update menu items without needing technical skills. Data was synced with the frontend using serverless API routes, ensuring updates were reflected in real time.
To enhance communication, I implemented SendGrid with a serverless function, enabling users to send reservation or inquiry messages directly from the site.
