The Manor — Fine Dining Restaurant Website (Concept)
Unsolicited redesign concept for The Manor, a fine-dining restaurant in Enugu: an editorial "after dark" website with a menu priced in naira, cart and checkout, WhatsApp table reservations, and a private events page.
The Manor is a fine-dining restaurant and wine bar at 24 Chime Lane, GRA, Enugu. Its online presence relied mostly on Instagram, and what existed elsewhere had stock imagery, placeholder pricing, and no clear way to book a table. I designed and built this site as an unsolicited design proposal showing what a premium web presence for the restaurant could look like. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the restaurant, and the live site says so in a banner at the top.
Design direction: "The Manor, After Dark"
I wrote every design decision against one scene: a couple deciding on a Friday night where to spend serious money on dinner, phone in hand, who need to feel "this place is worth it" within a few seconds.
What I built
Stack
React 18, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS v4, and React Router, deployed on Vercel.
