The client required a simple, modern, and responsive 2-page website for a new restaurant, the Craft & Harbour in Ayr, Scotland. I delivered a fully configurable WordPress theme allowing for easy expansion and giving the client direct control over the page content and imagery. The site achieves a full score on the Google PageSpeed usability tests, and ranks highly for site speed.

Customization

The final WordPress Theme made use of the Theme Customization API to allow a site administrator to change all details within the familiar WordPress interface. This allowed for updating classic theme features such as header and gallery images, and also to control micro-copy in the informational boxes, such as opening hours, booking instructions, and social media links. The top menu can also be controlled this way.

Third-Party Credits

The logo and wordmark have been separately designed and were provided by the client, as were the restaurant photographs used on the site.

• WordPress 4.0+, with Yoast SEO and W3TC plugins.
• Featherlight jQuery lightbox.

The stylesheet was compiled with SCSS and gulp was used for build-automation throughout (scss, csso and autoprefixer for CSS, uglify for JavaScript, image-min for static images, browserSync for previewing).
