Hadhramout Elsmar

A mobile-focused restaurant website that helps customers explore the menu, choose their order, and continue the conversation on WhatsApp.

Business context

A neighborhood restaurant whose customers order primarily by phone. The digital presence needed to reduce the effort between seeing a dish and sending an order.

The challenge

Customers relied on screenshots of the menu and back-and-forth messages to place an order. The business needed a single, fast place to present dishes clearly and make ordering obvious on a phone.

The solution

A clean, mobile-first restaurant site with an organized menu, straightforward product selection, and a WhatsApp conversion flow that carries the chosen items straight into a chat.

Visual direction

Warm earthy tones and generous spacing give the menu room to breathe, keeping dish names and prices immediately scannable on small screens.
