Case study · Restaurant · ByWard Market
A Thai restaurant on Murray Street since 2004, recognized with Thai Select certification in 2019. We rebuilt the whole site, from the first photograph to the menus, reservations and online ordering, so it feels like an evening in the dining room.
01 · The brief
Khao Thai is known for its golden dining room, its signature dishes and a founder who greets her guests. The website had to carry that warmth, and do the restaurant’s work too: five menus, reservations, pickup and delivery orders, classes and gift cards.
Rich photography in deep red and gold, an elegant serif and plenty of room to breathe. Every page ends in one of three next steps: reserve a table, order online, or explore the menu.
02 · The tour
The dining room beneath its canopy of golden leaves, under “The art of Thai hospitality”, with the address up top and two clear choices: reserve your table or explore the menu.
Salmon steamed in red curry and served in a whole young coconut, northern Khao Soi and Crispy Duck Panang, the dishes that tell the restaurant’s story, given the space they deserve.
Dinner, lunch, vegetarian, gluten-free, and sweets and sides as tabs, with the price and dietary tags on every dish and the kitchen’s allergy note up front. Guests find what they can eat without having to ask.
Pickup or delivery, ordered directly from the restaurant’s own site, with the pickup time and address up front, menu categories along the top and a gluten-free menu one tap away.
Party size, date and time in a few taps, with directions, the phone number for larger gatherings and a look at the menu right beside the form.
