Site Redesign

Site Redesign

We were asked to redesign a website for a local Austin business, bringing them into the era of HTML5. I choose to make a website for the local Austin TexMex Restaraunt, Curra's Grill. 

To define my goals for this project, I thought about what wasn't working on the old site and sought to find solutions in my redesign. The old site suffered from a lack of following its own organization, so all of my designwork was content driven, delivering content in the place expected by the user in as friendly typography as possible.

To create a Tex Mex identity that was not over-the-top, I used warm colors and subtle patterns that still suggest a homey feel. The typography choices were very intentional, serving as a throwback to the typography choices on the Curra's Menu, to give it a sense of cohesion. As it is pictured my website is obviously suffering from some major code messups, and this summer I plan to reconstruct it by using my code and labeling in a more systematic fashion.
