The challenge
Our help was called in to create a website that featured an easy to use reservation system which could be integrated with their current IT system. The design of the site had to really translate the welcoming feeling the owner already established with their personal service and cosy interior.

Restaurant De Sécretaire
The catering company De Schepper saw its normal business decrease as a direct result of the pandemic and restrictions on social gatherings. The owner saw this as the ideal opportunity to finally realize his dream of having his own restaurant. As such, the cozy, accessible & quality restaurant De Sécretaire was born.
Refined & Warm
During our facilitated strategy session, we defined the brand as 'Refined & Warm'. The website had to ooze hospitality and really drive home a welcoming feeling, all with a refined and cozy touch. This was visually translated into two Stylescapes (visual interpretations of the look & feel) of which this one was chosen by the client.
Creating a welcoming feeling
We created and implemented a loading animation to digitally recreate the feeling of someone greating you at the door and welcoming you in.
Guiding customers
The owner received reservations by phone, e-mail & Whatsapp which was chaotic. That's why we made the navigation of the website as minimal as possible so we could draw attention to the most important function: making a reservation.Very nice collaboration. Maarten listened enormously to our wishes. If you want a professional and user friendly website, Maarten is the right person. Sounds very cliché, but it's really true!
