Dino’s Subs
A heritage-led, multi-route redesign that turns a dense single-page restaurant site into a focused, mobile-friendly journey for menu discovery, party subs, story, gear, careers, and visits.

THE WORK IN ONE LINE
A searchable menu and clearer visit information in an owner-review redesign.
Verified prototype
A family business, made easier to explore.
The owner-review candidate keeps Dino’s recognizable food, skyline identity, checkerboard cues, slogan, and family history while giving each customer task a clear destination.

02 / The problem
Find the menu without searching the whole website.
Dino’s Subs has decades of family history, a large menu, and a loyal local identity, but the original single-page site asks visitors to scan nearly every concern in one long document. The redesign needed to improve task finding without inventing prices, availability, ordering capabilities, or owner-approved facts.
03 / What I built
Miguel reorganized the experience around seven customer-focused routes, rebuilt the visual identity from approved source artwork, and implemented the site with React, TypeScript, and progressive motion. Menu discovery, visit planning, party-sub guidance, sharing metadata, and launch controls are explicit while production decisions remain owner-controlled.
04 / Result & scope
What changed. What comes next.
Verified current repository, asset-provenance ledger, owner launch worksheet, and desktop/mobile before-and-after evidence.
Seven focused routes
Separated menu, party-sub, story, gear, visit, and careers tasks from the homepage.
Launch-aware controls
Centralized indexing, canonical, review-route, and careers controls for owner approval.
01One long page became clear journeys
The information architecture separates menu discovery, family history, party-sub planning, merchandise, careers, and visit details so visitors can go directly to the task they came to complete.
- Home, Menu, Party Subs, Our Story, Gear, Visit, and Careers routes
- Search and category filters across all 27 numbered subs
- Clear phone, directions, hours, social, and in-person ordering paths
02The physical brand shaped the interface
The classic skyline mark, checkerboard cues, heritage typography, shop photography, and restrained cream, red, and green palette connect the digital experience to the South Collins restaurant.
03Production truth stayed visible
Unknown prices, allergen guidance, availability, brand approval, image permissions, canonical domain timing, and desktop/mobile acceptance remain explicit owner gates rather than being filled with assumptions.
04A browsable archive of the whole journey
The maintained archive preserves the multi-route design, searchable menu, category controls, and responsive navigation. Visitors can explore the restaurant experience directly from the Websites collection. Demonstration actions are isolated from live services and do not submit orders, payments, or enquiries.
05Preserve the work and its address
The original source, assets, dependency lockfile, and recovery instructions are backed up separately from the archive edition. Existing addresses forward to equivalent archive destinations where available. This preservation work keeps the design reviewable without implying an owner-approved production rollout.
