DarkAngelBGE Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 A client of mine wants a website for a restaurant (gothic style). What does that sort of website need other than:-contact information-how to get there-image gallery-event calendar-who we are-price listAnyone ?

ZeZar Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Recommendations You know, maybe someone famous has eaten there, and really recommend the place ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufinwe Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 The Menu ... that is definitely needed.What I like as well, is to have a little history of the place ... or of the person ...Like, I went to eat in a little restaurant in the middle of nowhere and it said ont he website that it was an old ham in there before, with only 3 or 4 families ... just to give a little historical background ... I is quite popular now in france.Or how the guy got to be in the business, what he was attracted in ... just to give the customers the feeling that, by knowing a bit more, they will get closer to the place ... and feel nearly at home.

Jeru Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Parking, menu-prices-special offers, accessibility, special events (if any artists perform there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKen132 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 make sure you give it the same air the restaurant has... like gothic you said, in this case. So maybe a color scheme that the restaurant interior has, and pics of it. Not like a pics page, but in appropriate locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tutankhamun Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 For the location part, you could use MapQuest to link to a map. Then the customers can input their location, and it will show the distance.You could have fun little things at the top, such as "Quote of the Day" where it could show a new quote everyday. I have seen it on other websites and it uses and On_event code I think.Another idea, you could have a webcam hooked up so it either faces outside to a nice view or maybe inside. Then you can have the webcam automatically take a picture every x amount of minutes, seconds, days. Then there is a tool that allows you to have it uploaded and posted on a website.

DarkAngelBGE Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 You see any reason for a forum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tutankhamun Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 That could be a possibility. Since you are the Forum Master, it would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted February 28, 2004 Author Share Posted February 28, 2004 Yeah well but is a forum needed for a restaurant ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tutankhamun Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 The forum could just be a general chat forum. Therefore traffic on site = traffic -> into shop.Or maybe a forum is not necessary, and only adds to much to a website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natedog Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 maybe some moving gifs that add to a gothic moodif it isn't too goofy and make the website look crpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonto_Icy_Tripod Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 A professional restaurant has no need for a forum, and hardly even a guestbook. Keep it simple and, uh, gothic? Pics are good, menu likewise (add pics of the dishes as well), and basically everything that's been said here already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Yeah, a guestbook or forum make it look a little "visitor hungry", like all those annoying Geocities sites "SIGN MY LLEEET GESTBOOK!!! CHEKC OUT MY FORUM!!!!!" Simple and stylish are what I'd go for.. not too fancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
