Project: The Vault Delicatessen
www.thevaultdeli.com
Opportunity: To create a site with a focus on four important aspects: refect the product's quality, showcase the assortment of imported wines and promote their catering service.
Solution: To deliver on quality while controlling the cost, the website was designed using only XHTML/CSS. The site relies on high impact images created and optimized in Photoshop CS3 versus using multimedia.
This way the company's services can be expressed without adding overhead and slowing load time. Callout images were placed on the home page for quick navigation, while less prominant services were placed inside submenues.
A contact form was developed making it easier for customers to send catering requests. Such requests are delivered directly to the owners email inbox. Finally, each page displays the deli's address, phone number and business hours to minimize searching.
