Park Avenue Catering
This website needed an overhaul with new colors, typography, and content.
Project Brief
Design Challenge: What can be done to increase visibility for catering services? How can the website be re-designed to incorporate Park Avenue Catering’s new branding?
The client’s home page was compact often hiding content under roll-over and toggle-click effects. We determined that expanding information and having it immediately visible as text and images would help with click-through rates. The client also wanted to implement a new “spotlight” feature which would display previous catering events they’ve put together. In addition, various pages in the site had additional content and functionality improved with the overall design changes.
Skills & Tools Used:
The Final Design
A new home page design used a two-column layout of text and images. A blog was introduced as a way of showcasing past events Park Avenue Catering has put together. Each blog post had a unique layout that sampled photos, a color palette, and menu served at the event. Typography and color was reset and re-selected for each page template.
Interactive Features
New behavior was added to the website to enhance user experience.
Before & After
Here’s an example of what the home page looked like before and after the redesign updates. The home page before the redesign was cramped, and all content was hidden under image block roll-over effects. After the redesign, content was spaced out and created more clear and inviting subject matter to click through.
Conclusion
Much of the website’s photography was overhauled. It took some experimenting to get the typography to set effectively, but a general hierarchical system was settled.
This website was originally made and redesigned by OptiRev for their client Park Avenue Catering (2018).
