40+ Years of legacy

01 / Overview

The brief.

Digital marketing and brand refresh for Santa Ana’s premier Indian fine-dining restaurant — open since 1981 and running on word-of-mouth until now.

02 / Context

40+ year legacy, strong in-room reputation, dropping weeknight covers and almost no online reservation flow.

03 / Problem

Site was a brochureware WordPress theme with no reservation integration and no modern GBP presence. New diners couldn’t find them.

04 / Approach

New identity-driven site with integrated reservations (OpenTable), menu CMS, Restaurant schema with serves-cuisine + priceRange, and a content pipeline for seasonal events.

05 / My Role

— Site rebuild — frontend + reservation integration
— Restaurant schema + menu markup
— Local SEO + GBP optimisation
