Regaining control of an inaccessible website
Le Coq Noir had a Wix site that the client could no longer access. It was therefore impossible to directly update the restaurant's information, while requests sent to the previous provider went unfulfilled.This situation had visible consequences: opening hours were contradictory, events and special menus remained outdated or poorly visible, and an old New Year's Eve menu was still being displayed. The creation of the new website first had to restore reliable and controlled information to the restaurant.
Giving the restaurant daily management autonomy
A personalised dashboard now allows for the management of hours, address, phone number, email address, and social media. The restaurant can also keep its images up to date to better showcase the venue.Google Maps reviews are displayed on the site. The delivered scope covers the public site and its dashboard, with an administration interface designed around the information actually used by the team.
Structuring menus, artists, and events
The dashboard centralises the management of products, menus, and their variants, including serving options for drinks. The restaurant can define a default menu and prepare specific menus for certain events.Artist profiles and a calendar also facilitate programming. Each event can be linked to an artist and a date, and then displayed on the public site. This organisation replaces expired announcements with a schedule kept up to date from the same management area.
Making important actions immediately visible
The web design places more emphasis on events, bookings, and private hire requests. Upcoming dates and New Year's Eve bookings are immediately visible, while the images provide a more faithful representation of the restaurant.Bookings continue to be handled by Zenchef and takeaway orders by Klikit. The site clearly directs visitors to these services without presenting these functions as having been developed within the current scope.
Delivering custom development quickly
Less than a week was needed to design the project and have the mock-ups approved. Two weeks then passed between their validation and the launch, totalling about three weeks.As the launch took place the day before the interview, no quantitative results are available yet. The initial findings are qualitative: upcoming events and New Year's Eve bookings are visible without delay, private hire is promoted, and the user experience is clearer, more credible, and reassuring.
