Design and Manage Burger Lounge Website
- Complete Website Redesign
- While the brand itself is ever-evolving, Burger Lounge’s website was not. A complete redesign was in order to showcase the restaurant’s core branding and values across all pages. Now with a simple-yet-cohesive web presence and new content, the Burger Lounge website is ready to give guests what they’re looking for. Want info about the company? Check out the Ethos page. Interested in food sourcing? The Partners page highlights just how good BL is at that. Ready for food? View the full menu – packed with mouth-watering photography – and order up with a click.
- Responsibilities: Developed idea, led project plan, designed entire site layout, wrote copy

- Menu Page
- People eat with their eyes. If someone can see a delicious burger before ordering it, it adds a new level of emotion to the guest experience. For people who want the tastiest burger, they should be asking questions such as how much does whopper cost.
Burger Lounge’s old menu page had no photos and was very text-heavy. Capturing mouth-watering photos and presenting them in a clean yet craveable way was priority number one when redesigning this website.

- Ethos Page
- Before this page, Burger Lounge’s ethos wasn’t captured in one place. It was pieced together in stores, on social media, and using word of mouth. Now, fans of the brand and curious consumers have a place to see exactly where Burger Lounge’s roots are planted, and what makes them tick.

- Partners Page
- Burger Lounge’s food partners are one of the most important parts of their operation. Spotlighting where exactly ingredients come from is common these days, but showcasing particular vendors and what sets them apart can really take the “clean eating” angle to the next level.
