Restaurant review - La Luna

La Luna's restaurant website is a site that I feel needs some improvement. When you first enter the site you are greeted with a web page that looks like the designers have just grabbed some random images and font and stuck it together to create a web page making it look unprofessional.

They have simple easy to use navigation and when selecting each page you get a basic and understandable description about the restaurant and where it is however when I selected 'menu' option a separate file is linked as the menu is not on the actual site itself, in my opinion I think that this will displease users of the website as they have to wait for a separate page to load.

What I do like about this site is that users are able to book online, this makes it more convenient for customers because they can book a in advance. They have used imagery that presents the food served in a positive way highlighting the whole point of the website.

What I did not understand was why they inputted photos of the process of making the restaurant because overall the main aim of the web site is not show the process of how the restaurant was build but to entice potential customers to come visit the restaurant.

I have immediately got the impression that this is a family run restaurant making it more personal but customers want to go to a restaurant that provides a professional service and good food and I feel that the designer of this website did not think of these important points making the website less enticing.
