Redesigning Restaurant Website in Responsive Framework

Abstract

The principle aim of this thesis is to demonstrate how an old fashioned, and difficult to operate website was re-conceptualized, re-designed, and developed as a completely responsive, modern web application using contemporary design practices.

Modern design practices include user centric design principles and design based on the end user's resources, upon which the product will be used. In case of website design the re-sources in question are web browsers in desktop computers, laptops, tablet PCs and mobile devices. There are various technology frameworks to facilitate the design process. Responsive website design focuses on making browsing easier in devices with different screen sizes. Bootstrap framework developed by Twitter, Inc. is the framework used in this project for responsive static design.

The project consisted of different stages of research and development. The project at large encompasses the mobile first principle, the content first principle, usability hacks, easy navigation rules and aesthetics.
