#1

To me, #2 doesn't look "professional".

not a fan of the brown. what else ya got? mint green? uhm.... perhaps a soft rose?

Neither, it's about the food and that is not prominent enough.

It's really an orange gradient because the guy is stuck on orange. It's people's least favorite color in surveys, but the dude's walls are orange. Here's the current website, which I also did before he decided he wanted to go whole-hog marketing. Check the walls:

The walls form their own orange gradient with the lighting, so that's what I went with this time.

Guy has not called back! WTF!

It's too orangey for crows.
But I must admit I'd eat there.

monster · 08-17-2011, 12:43 PM

Also not a fan of the brown. More orangey would work better -like the background on the website you did. Don't cover the food with the girl or the buttons imo. The girl is cute, though, but in the wrong place. I'd go for 1 of the two.

On line table registration is a cool feature, UT.

Undertoad · 08-17-2011, 12:52 PM

Y'alls input is really helpful. Thanks dwellars!

If the guy ever calls back I can tell him I ran the design through a panel and got feedback.

Undertoad · 08-17-2011, 12:54 PM

Yeah the online reservation system company, OpenTable, really have their stuff worked out. And we have gotten referral work out of them, which is awesome.

monster · 08-17-2011, 01:27 PM

So what is the new webpage for?

Undertoad · 08-17-2011, 03:57 PM

He wants something bigger and more in-yer-face marketing-ish.

Now that I've talked to him, this design is now scrapped entirely (sorry folks, your input was not actually needed). I just love it when clients reject my design 100%. I only wish I had been there in person for it and not on the phone.

It will be redone as an almost complete copy of one of the major pizza sites.

I know it's too late, but maybe each of the buttons could be a piece of sushi.

I'm not a bad person, but my mind has a mind of its own. Suppressing bad joke now.
