The project team produced a website for Iris Restaurant by making use of Wix – a free web-based website development platform. The website consisted of a Home Page, Business Operations Page, and Menu Page. The Homepage is made up of three sections: Welcome section, Menu section, A Brief Background, Contact details. First, the Welcome sections consists of a block containing a quick statement to inform the customer immediately what wood is to be expected. This is what the customer first sees when the webpage is loaded. Second, a menu section exists of three blocks (Lunch, Breakfast, and Fast Food) which all act as links to the menu webpage. Third, a block containing a brief background of Iris Restaurant explaining how it came to exist and what the business aims to achieve. Lastly, a contact details banner is at the bottom of every webpage on the website. The contact details banner contains information relating to the address, operating hours, and contact numbers of Iris Restaurant. A menu tab is located at the top of all webpages to allow customers to access any of the websites’ pages. The Business Operations Page provides a detailed explanation of the process of placing an order & where customers should queue, depending on the items they wish to purchase. Lastly, the Menu Page consists of the main lunch menu, the breakfast menu, and the fast-foods menu. Within the website menu tab, a separate page exists containing the sushi menu. The website is compatible on both personal computers and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
