Overview

Launching the digital presence for Harrogate’s first wood-fired pizzeria.

Stefano’s needed a professional, easy-to-manage online presence to support the opening of a new independent restaurant. The project focused on defining a clear visual identity and building a website that communicates food, atmosphere, experiences and story — while giving the team full control over ongoing updates.

  • Brand Identity: Visual system aligned with the restaurant’s character and quality.
  • Website Structure: Clear hierarchy across layout, text, colors, and content.
  • Reservations & Gift Vouchers: Integrated reservations and gift voucher systems.
  • Menu Presentation: Menu pages aligned with the in-restaurant offering.
  • Photo Gallery: Curated gallery to showcase atmosphere, experiences and food.
  • CMS & Development: Responsive site with flexible content management.

The challenge

Communicating story, not just service.

Stefano’s is more than a new restaurant. It’s a family-run business with a clear identity — led by an Italian pizza chef owner, supported by family members front-of-house, and shaped by live music and events hosted by co-owner Sally. The challenge was to translate this personal, lived experience into a digital presence without over-explaining or diluting it into generic restaurant messaging.

Our approach

Let the content do the work.

The site was designed to give space to the story while staying functional and easy to navigate. Visual decisions were kept restrained so photography, copy, and structure could communicate personality naturally. Events, menus, bookings, and vouchers were treated as core features — not add-ons — and built into a CMS the team can manage themselves.

Key outcomes:

  • Defined a visual direction that supports storytelling without relying on gimmicks.
  • Structured content to highlight food, people, and events equally.
  • Integrated reservations and gift vouchers directly into the site.
  • Built editable menu, gallery, and events pages.
  • Delivered a CMS enabling the team to manage updates independently.

The result

A digital presence that reflects the restaurant.

The website now supports reservations, gift purchases, events, and discovery in one place. It presents Stefano’s as it actually is — a family-run business with personality, not just a place to eat.

Impact:

  • Clear narrative around the people behind the restaurant.
  • Reservations and vouchers handled directly through the site.
  • Events given visibility beyond social media.
  • Menus, galleries, and content easily updated in-house.
  • Consistent experience across desktop and mobile.
