Translucent aqua hero title
The brand color sits on the video at 78% opacity so the ocean shows through the letterforms — a single design move that makes the hero feel cinematic rather than flat.

What we shipped
A full venue site — not a template.
Every section was custom-built from a hospitality design system: warm sand canvas, Manrope + Fraunces typography, gold price accents, editorial dotted leaders, no boxy SaaS cards. 80 dish photos were generated locally on Flux Schnell so every item on the menu shows the actual plate.

Six things to notice
Real polish in every detail.
Editorial 2-column menu
Fraunces serif item names with classic dotted leaders, gold prices, italic descriptions, and a 72px photo thumbnail of every single dish. Click any name or thumb to open the full lightbox.
Pulsing directions button
No ugly map iframe. A black button with concentric gold rings pulsing outward — one tap opens Google Maps directions. Looks intentional, feels alive.
Clickable gift card amounts
A 2×2 card grid (Treat · Lunch · Date night · Celebration) where each pick updates the purchase CTA in real time. Editorial bottom-border form, no boxy SaaS inputs.
Full English + Spanish
Every visible string flows through a translation map and live-swaps on the language selector. Menu items auto-translate via API for languages we haven’t hand-localized yet.
Mobile-first action bar
Fixed bottom of every phone visit: one-tap Call, Directions, Order. The three actions a hungry visitor actually needs — and nothing else.
