Design for Print & Web: Restraunt/ Takeout websites



Subway's website has little function, It merely shows where you can buy, how to get a franchise of the store and a store locator. It's impressive for such a big chain of stores that they haven't really updated their store front. The side however Is design similar to their overall store aesthetic. It's rather neutral but you can see what it's trying to get at.



Pret A Manger's website is rather more exciting, it offers a lot more to find out about thes store and that's great however it's all rather the same stuff repeated. The Layout is rather simply and I feel like the navigation bar is a bit oversized with the top banner.


Costa's website a bit more up to date then all the rest with a lovely illustrated scrolling banner that takes up most of the screen leaving just enough to peak out below. The Navigation bar is well spaced and I like the really subtle gradient on it. Good touch. It evokes the feeling of it being cafe rather well through the use of colours.



I was surprised to see how bland Starbucks' website was, it's okay. But you could definitely see there's room for improvement with the questionable layout on the menu page. They've been able to set a lot more into the navigation bar by making them drop-downs.



Greg's is going for the skeuomorphic look with their wood panel banner, The site is nice, but I really think Gregg's needs to lighten up it's colour scheme the browns and light browns don't really encourage an appetite much. It's well laid out and the photography used on the menu is superb.


Eat, The website is incredibly simple, It delivers it's point. Although I admit it could have been put together better the website without the social icons that just for some reason look plonked on. The overall use of type here looks really good.



I was amazed to see how.. basic Fatso's website is. No photos, just text. Talk about skimping out on a website, it's not to say it's possible it isn't intentional but if you're really wanting to show what you're about it'd really help out a bit.



Spudulike's website I really like, the use of the orange cheddar looks really delicious on top of the maroon. Their home page is really nice and clean as well. It carries all it needs and this would be perfect for the look of my website, (banner and squares below).


Barburito's Website is quite nice, the squares for the home page work well but their a bit of a mess to be honest. The navigation bar is good but I don't get why they have Bar in burrito dimmed down so you can't see it so well. I get it's supposed to be all about burrito's but still.

Essen's website is rather plain, minimal but it doesn't even fill the page. It doesn't bother to change it's banner along the top on either of the pages, however the squares used on the menu page are really well done and the photography of them is excellent.


Dunkin' Donut's website is really nice, the use of the slider on the side Is a different thing I've never seen. I really like the whole vibrancy it's got going on.
