Tsunami
A beachfront restaurant site that makes the food look as good as the ocean view.
What we did
The Client
Tsunami Seafood Grill & Bar is a beachfront restaurant in Punta Roca, El Salvador, known for fresh seafood, craft cocktails, and front-row sunset views. The restaurant draws a mix of surfers, tourists, and local diners looking for a premium coastal dining experience.
The Challenge
Despite a strong local reputation, Tsunami had no website. Potential diners (especially tourists) had to rely on TripAdvisor reviews and Instagram posts for basic details like the menu, location, and hours. The restaurant needed a digital presence that matched the quality of their food and setting.
The Approach
We designed a beach-themed website that leads with professional food photography and ocean imagery. The color palette and typography were drawn from the restaurant's physical branding. The menu section was built as a structured system rather than a static PDF, making it searchable, easy to update, and accessible on mobile devices.
The Solution
The delivered site features a homepage with hero imagery and quick-access links to the menu and location, a structured digital menu organized by category with dish descriptions and photos, a gallery section with food, atmosphere, and event photography, location details with Google Maps integration and driving directions, and a contact form for reservations and private events. The CMS allows the restaurant team to add new dishes, update prices, swap photography, and manage seasonal menu changes.
Results
The website became the restaurant's top referral source for new diners, surpassing social media. Menu page views correlated with a 20% increase in weeknight reservations. Google search visibility improved, with the restaurant appearing in the top 3 results for "restaurant Punta Roca" and "seafood El Salvador." The digital menu reduced phone inquiries about menu items by an estimated 30%.
