When it comes to food, flavor and experience is as important as its presentation. Risotteria Melotti uses their website ideally to meet both these goals. The vertical-scrolling homepage does everything introduce you to scrumptious Italian Risotto almost out of the screen, enabling you to catch its aroma. All the navigation buttons have been condensed to a tiny handle on the left side of the screen, which opens the menu on clicking. The Play button on the homepage starts a splendid video, displaying the savory inventory of the restaurant.
A scroll down the page gives you a splendid look into elements of the Italian cuisine engrained into the restaurant. The website is an elegant piece of work, involving white background, grey capitalized font, use of subtle background pastel shades behind text, and the magnificent imagery created by striking photos, and a couple of videos.

Squarespace brings this point home through their site “Introducing Squarespace 7.” A creative tools designer and developer, Squarespace 7’s website uses an innovative yet simple layout and schema. Simple white background, light colored font, a traditional navigation, and the use of attention-grabbing colorful imagery are some of the main features of the site.
