Terra — a seasonal kitchen
A visitor arriving at a restaurant site is asking one question, and it is not what the chef trained in. Terra answers it in the first screen and then earns the rest of the attention afterwards.
The six tables are real booking resources with combination rules, so two twos become a four when a four asks. Lunch and dinner are separate services with separate hours. The menu is a content type grouped by course — the kitchen edits Thursday's dish, and the page it appears on is never touched.
What you would change: the photographs, the dishes, the number of tables and the hours. What you would not: any of the arithmetic underneath it.
Every one of these was somebody’s Tuesday afternoon.
Twelve starting pointsYou are copying a site, not a wireframe.
Whichever one you pick, it lands in your account with its pages, its brand tokens, its content and every module the design depends on already configured. Nothing is shared with the original — change the prices on day one and no other site moves.
Three more, chosen by nobody.
The index is generated from the same twelve entries, so it is never out of date and nobody has to remember to update it.
Nightjar — a box office
Coalhouse — a band
Grainline — sell a file
Change the words.
Keep the machinery.
Or start from an empty page and build it yourself — by hand, or by describing it to an agent.
