UX Audit & Redesign: Guest-Side Landing Page

Overview

The website is a digital front door for guests; designed to reflect the ambiance, style, and energy of the physical lounge. Its purpose is to showcase the restaurant's menu, space, story, and offerings in a way that’s visually engaging and easy to navigate. From viewing menu categories to exploring gallery photos and learning about the brand’s origin, the site helps potential guests feel the experience before they walk through the door. It's built to drive curiosity, build trust, and encourage in-person visits or menu exploration.
Our goal was to transform it into an experience that reflects the atmosphere of the physical space; vibrant, elegant, and welcoming.

Problems Identified

This redesign focused on the digital experience of guests visiting Restaurants website. The original layout lacked visual depth and engagement, offering minimal pathways for users to explore the Restaurants Menu/offerings.
Highlights:
Flat content hierarchy with repetitive copy
No interactive content or visual previews
Unclear content flow and weak section separation
Limited storytelling around the lounge’s identity

Solutions Implemented

Reorganized the content flow Structured the page to guide guests from atmosphere to menu to brand story in a logical, engaging order.
Added visual menu categories Introduced image-based cards for each menu section to drive curiosity and make browsing feel effortless.
Introduced a photo-rich gallery Showcased the lounge, food, and guest moments through real images to create emotional connection and trust.
Improved mobile readability Refined spacing, typography, and layout to ensure a smooth scroll and effortless reading experience on all devices.
Refined section labels and copy Replaced generic headings with more brand-aligned language that reflects the lounge’s voice and vibe.
Enhanced brand personality through design Used soft curves, hand-drawn elements, and modern visuals to convey a sense of warmth, elegance, and authenticity.
A Clearer and more usable View of the Menu, which is why the user are there. It help reduce the cognitive load for the user.
