PROBLEM

Dakota’s on the Cove, a local restaurant, lacked a strong online presence to attract new customers and enhance engagement. Their outdated branding and absence of a dedicated website made it difficult for potential guests to discover the restaurant, view the menu, and make reservations.

SOLUTION

A strategic redesign was implemented, including a responsive Webflow website with seamless Toast integration for online orders and reservations. A cohesive brand identity was developed to maintain visual consistency across the website and social media. Additionally, SEO strategies were applied to increase visibility in local search results.

VALUE DELIVERED

The redesigned website was successfully launched, providing an intuitive user experience, mobile-friendly navigation, and high-quality visuals to showcase the restaurant’s ambiance and offerings. The project enhanced Dakota’s on the Cove’s digital footprint, solidifying its presence in the competitive restaurant market.

APPROACH

Our strategy focused on designing a seamless digital experience to enhance customer engagement and streamline restaurant operations. The process involved user research, wireframing, and iterative prototyping to develop an intuitive Webflow website that integrated Toast for online reservations and ordering. The branding was refined to establish a cohesive digital presence, ensuring a visually appealing and user-friendly experience. Additionally, SEO optimization was implemented to increase local discoverability.

SUMMARY

The new website and branding successfully elevated Dakota’s on the Cove's digital presence, improving accessibility and engagement for both new and returning customers. The intuitive navigation and integrated reservation system enhanced operational efficiency, while SEO improvements increased visibility in local search results. The project not only modernized the restaurant’s online presence but also provided a scalable foundation for future growth.
