: "We were very unhappy with our old website. We take great pride in the elegance and beauty of our restaurant and wanted a website that matched. WWWC spent the time with us to understand what we were looking for and developed a first-class, high-end website befitting the kind of establishment that we are. We are so pleased with our website now…and we can edit much of the content ourselves, which is an added bonus.”

Company Profile

Owned and operated by the Balis Family, Adelphia Restaurant Banquet Facilities and Nightclub has become a destination for families to dine and for families and friends to celebrate together. Adelphia Restaurant has received numerous "Best Of" awards and critical acclaims from its customers. The Adelphia nightclub showcases the area's top bands, DJ's, live radio broadcasts, dance parties, special one-time events and much more. It also hosts weddings, bar mitzvahs, receptions, corporate functions and other group meetings.

Challenge

The goal with the Adelphia website redesign was to bring the personality and feel of the restaurant into the website itself. The old website certainly didn't reflect the high-end experience that the Adelphia offers.

Solution

Working closely with the client, WWWC created designs based on actual elements found in the restaurant. Right from the opening, the website uses music and soft animation, capturing architectural elements in the animation. Adelphia has four distinctive environments and the site invites visitors to each of these with a combination of sound and imagery that is distinctive to each.

Our creative director, Tim Parrotte, explains that we "focused on the use of imagery, not just photography." Elements included sculptures, wedding cakes, displays and painting styles.

In presenting photography, the website uses a new dynamic photo gallery. The gallery images are displayed on a dynamic layer on the page that includes smooth transitions between photos. Visitors can control their own experience and easily navigate from one gallery to another.

We also developed a menu system that allows visitors to see the actual menus in a PDF viewer, which enhances the user’s experience and facilitates perfect print formatting.
