La Veranda — From Legacy to Lead-Ready
We rebuilt La Veranda’s website into a fast, elegant experience that matches their hospitality brand — clear menus, mobile-first browsing, and booking pathways that convert.
Get Your Website UpgradeAbout La Veranda
La Veranda is a New Zealand hospitality brand offering refined dining and private events. Their goal: a modern website that reflects their atmosphere and makes bookings effortless.
The Challenge
The existing site looked dated, buried key information, and wasn’t optimised for mobile. Users struggled to find menus, venue info, and booking/contact paths quickly.
- Fragmented navigation and inconsistent section hierarchy
- Limited booking prompts and scattered CTAs
- Slow perceived load on image-heavy pages
- Lack of structured data for rich results
Our Solution
We redesigned the information architecture, simplified menu discovery, and added clear CTAs across the journey. We optimised images, introduced schema, and refined mobile UX for thumb-friendly browsing.
Process
- Audit of IA, user flows, and on-page SEO
- Rapid wireframes → component library
- Mobile-first layouts and performance passes
- Copy clarity and CTA strategy
Deliverables
- New navigation, menu & booking flows
- High-performance image handling
- Schema (FAQ + breadcrumbs + article)
- Reusables for future landing pages
Results
La Veranda now has a polished, performance-minded website that highlights menus and venue details, reduces friction to enquire or book, and better represents the brand’s experience across devices.
- Clear, confident navigation and page hierarchy
- Prominent, consistent CTAs for bookings and enquiries
- Faster, smoother browsing with optimised assets
- Richer eligibility for search enhancements via schema
