From the first impression to the finer details.

The company & the project

A website that feels
like the business.

Pelican Social is an American bar-and-grill concept in Pelican Key. Its identity brings together the raw bar, the char-grill and the easy company of a table shared with friends.

Teal, coral and warm serif typography give the restaurant an editorial presence. The menu is organised around Crudo, Fuego and the char-grill, with imagery and quieter text passages carrying the story between them.

What it makes possible

Good design.
Useful differences.

01

A recognisable restaurant

Colour, typography and the rhythm of the pages carry the same identity from the introduction to the menu.

02

A menu with a clear structure

Crudo, Fuego and char-grill sections give diners an easy way to explore the food.

03

One connected experience

The restaurant story, imagery and visit information share a coherent set of pages and navigation.

Behind the build

Considered on the surface.
Thoughtful underneath.

React components and Vinext provide shared layouts for the restaurant, menu, about, gallery and reservations pages. A prepared static build can be served by Node.js. The menu content and reusable page sections keep the presentation consistent as the site grows.

Made for smaller screens, too.

The image-and-text spreads become a natural vertical story. The menu remains readable, with consistent navigation across the restaurant, gallery and visit pages.
