The Story Behind the Site
 |
| La France Cafe's new website - to be released in Jan 2012 |
Do you love French cuisine?
Then you will love looking at the crepes on this website! And they taste as good as they look!
Fabulous Fun
Designing this website was fabulously fun because of the friendly and flamboyant French Chef at La France Cafe and Crepes Restaurant, Chef Benjamin Mchabcheb. His love of good food, family and friends was a joy to capture.You just can't go there without some of his enthusiasm rubbing off on you.
The Design Objective
The main design objective for this site is to draw people into the restaurant. But how? After some long and hard market research that involved sampling many of the dishes on his menu, we finally came up with a good plan of action:
 |
| La France Cafe's new website - to be released in Jan 2012 |
- First, we needed to show visitors what these lovely dishes actually looked like, as the items on the menu are not daily fare for most Chicagoans.
- Next, we needed to show how friendly the establishment is, as some people are a little timid about trying French food.
- And very importantly, we needed to let everyone know how affordable the prices are to counter the perception that all French food is expensive.
