El Sol GL – Website Design
El Sol GL is a modern Mexican restaurant in Mineola, NY that needed a website as bold and welcoming as its physical space. The challenge? Design a site that was easy to use, beautiful on every device, and showcased the food without unnecessary clutter.
Project Overview
The Goal
Make browsing the menu effortless for both dine-in and to-go customers
Reflect the restaurant’s brand identity—warm, modern, and just subtly Mexican
Encourage users to visit in person through mouthwatering visuals and easy access to info
Ensure a seamless mobile experience for users on the go
Website Features
Minimalist, Clean Layout: A bold homepage that gets to the point with large images, smart spacing, and intuitive sections
Menu Showcase: Curated images and clear formatting make the menus easy to read and crave-worthy
Responsive Design: Flawless UX across mobile and desktop—prioritizing simplicity and scroll-friendly layouts
Photo Integration: All food and atmosphere photos were taken and edited by me, giving the site a consistent, professional, and appetizing visual experience
On-Brand Copywriting: Short and stylish text that keeps the vibe modern, but friendly
Brand Cohesion
The website is an extension of El Sol’s full brand identity, which I also designed—from the logo and menus to social media presence and influencer marketing.
Consistent use of brand colors (relaxed, sun-washed tones)
Subtle iconography that references the sun without being gimmicky
Custom photography edited to align with El Sol’s visual moodboard
