Main points to consider for my restaurant website redesign.

After looking through a number of different restaurant websites I've identified some key points I need to include & consider when doing my website.

1) When looking at a restaurant website, people want to know about the food! Including a menu for people to look at would be a key point of the website, it needs to be clear & easily accessible. 

2) People may not know where the restaurant is, so include plenty of information about the location of the restaurant.

3) In order to book a place at a restaurant, you need to know some form of contact number! No contact details = less potential customers.

4) Because restaurants attract a wide range of ages, the website needs to be appealing to all, easily accessible & easy to use.

5) Images & offers that are displayed immediately can help to grab the user's attention, so these may be key components of the home page.

6) Use colours that work. Come up with a nice colour scheme, don't include too much colour & try to avoid using a lot of green. In my opinion, green just reminds me of mould and I don't want to be seeing a lot of that at a restaurant!

7) Consider feedback forms, contact forms and even a booking form so people can book a table without having to pick up the phone!

8) Make sure the website is consistent, the name is clear & there isn't too much information on one page.

I think these points will be the key to creating a successful restaurant website. More updates to follow!
