Concept project. Brace is not a real restaurant. The menu, prices, address and reviews are sample content.
The brief I set myself
Most people visit a pizzeria's site on a phone, hungry, sometimes standing outside. They want the menu, the hours and the address, and they don't want a PDF.
Brace puts those first, in ember amber on deep teal. The look is bold enough to make you hungry, but it stays a restaurant site, not an agency showreel.
What I did
A menu you can read, not a PDF
The menu is a real page: name, ingredients, price and dietary marks, quick to scan on a small screen.
Photos where they help
Twelve round pizzas don't help anyone choose, so the rows are text. The four signature pizzas get large photos on the homepage instead.
Amber only where you can act
The accent colour is kept for buttons, prices and links, so it always points to something you can use or need to know.
Dishes the restaurant edits
Every dish is a WordPress post with its section, price and ingredients. The homepage and menu are coded templates that read from them.
