When Bittersweet asked us to create their new website, it came in a nick of time before the restaurant was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We were able to launch an online ordering platform and website, highlighting the amazing menu choices through photography.

To accomplish this, we first designed a custom website for Bittersweet with a one-page scroll site to draw the customer's attention to unique options on their menu. We emphasized high-quality photos of their food, making it easy for customers to view and order online. We then developed an online store powered by Square that allowed for customization options for all menu items.

The folks at The Herd were so wonderful to work with. Not only did they give us a stylish website with seamless on-line ordering functionality, but they held my hand through the whole process. Our homegrown small business has always relied on a Mom and Pop feel and they provided a really attractive website that still fits our simple aesthetic. They also challenged us to accept that a younger demographic really demands more from a website than we previously understood. They made us more current and hipper, which helps us reach a more youthful crowd. We are really grateful for the boost in such a challenging business climate.
