CARNE Ristorante is a restaurant company profile website built from the ground up through the Melon Branding Agency workflow. The design was prepared by the design team, then I handled the development implementation and custom functionality.
The website presents the restaurant brand, menu, location, and booking flow in a polished company profile format tailored for a restaurant business.
Overview
This project started as a new website build rather than a revamp of an existing site. The goal was to create a restaurant profile that could communicate the brand clearly, present the menu well, and support customer actions such as booking or making inquiries.
The design direction came from the Melon design team, while the development work focused on turning that direction into a functional WordPress website with custom features where needed.
Problem
A restaurant website needs to do more than show general company information. It needs to make the dining experience understandable before the customer arrives: the atmosphere, menu, location, reservation path, and brand quality all need to be clear.
The challenge was to build a site that worked as a company profile while also supporting restaurant-specific needs such as menu presentation and booking.
Role
I worked on the development side, implementing the approved design into WordPress and building the required website behavior.
My responsibilities included frontend implementation, WordPress setup, content structure, booking-related functionality, and custom features needed to support the restaurant experience.
Stack
- WordPress for content management
- PHP and MySQL for the WordPress backend
- JavaScript for interactive behavior
- Custom WordPress implementation for restaurant-specific features
- Figma as the design handoff source
Scope
- Build the website from scratch
- Implement the restaurant company profile design
- Structure pages for brand, menu, location, and customer information
- Add booking-related functionality
- Build custom features based on restaurant needs
- Make content manageable through WordPress
- Prepare the site for live use
Website Structure
The website is structured around the core customer journey:
- Restaurant introduction and brand presentation
- Menu or food showcase
- Restaurant information and location
- Booking or reservation flow
- Contact and customer inquiry sections
This keeps the website focused on helping visitors understand the restaurant and take the next step.
Implementation Notes
The main development focus was translating the visual design into a functional WordPress site without making the backend difficult to manage.
Because the site required restaurant-specific behavior, some parts could not rely only on default WordPress pages. The booking flow and custom feature requirements needed additional implementation so the website could support real customer actions, not only static information.
Outcome
The result was a new restaurant company profile website with a polished frontend, WordPress-based content management, booking support, and custom functionality tailored to the restaurant.
This project reflects a full agency website build: design handoff, WordPress development, custom feature implementation, and delivery of a live business website.
