Hullabaloo website Design + dev for a London restaurant chain

Chef Baloo required a website to accompany the branding solution design studio Superfried had recently developed for his new London based Vegetarian and Vegan, Indian street food venture – Hullabaloo Deptford. Consequently, I collaborated with James at Cotton Creative for the build.

To continue the vibrant style developed previously for the branding, simple carousels were utilised to present authentic shots of India, the signature dishes and Baloo's happy diners. The relaxed atmosphere of the restaurant and rapport with his loyal customers are further conveyed via an efficient, automated gallery page replicating their Instagram feed. To balance the bold, hyper brand palette of orange, turquoise and magenta, black and dark grey were adopted for the backgrounds of website design throughout. The use of strong muted tones also helped to continue the contemporary feel of quality, modern cuisine, a key requirement from the branding process.

The detailed menu is accessed via an animated system – clicking a section heading highlights and animates the relevant content into position. The remainder of the menu is dimmed to enhance user focus. Naturally the website is fully responsive and managed via a CMS back-end.
