Capo Restaurant Website

client: Capo Restaurant (FoodCoWest) 
website: www.caporestaurant.com 

Working closely with owner Bruce Marder and maitre d’ Dennis Severse, we created a color scheme for the website to mirror the one of the restaurant itself. At the same time, I’ve created the layout of the page to be a footprint for the consecutive Foodcowest websites.

Efficient and Accessible Layout
The accessibility of essential information was a crucial part of the design. The most important pieces of information for a restaurant website, the phone number, the address, and the hours are found right on the main page and are omnipresent in the design. Therefore in whichever page the visitor is, this crucial set of information is visible. The rest of the information e.g. directions, menu, news, photo gallery and online reservations are just one click away making the browsing of the site very simple and the information extremely accessible.

Flash Slideshow Banner
Another omnipresent element is the Flash banner which automatically rotates food and location photos, engaging the visitor constantly from the beginning of the visit.

Facebook Fan Box Integration
“What’s New” page displays the Facebook Fan Box of Capo. This allows user interaction and helps the fan page to grow. It also provides the maitre d’ with a very easy interface to post updates.

CSS Image Rollover Menu
This method is a very code efficient way of creating rollover menus.

Flash Image Gallery
A sleek and clean interface to display gallery thumbnails and pictures.
