Project Details
- Category: Informative Website
- Potential Client: Little Dandelion
- Project URL Sandbox:: [Sandboxed]
This website was designed for Little Dandelion, a cozy café and community gathering space in the heart of New Haven, with the intention of creating a warm, welcoming digital experience that mirrors the vibe of the shop itself.
The site combines soft animations, hand-drawn accents, and earthy tones to reflect the café’s emphasis on comfort, connection, and local flavor—while also offering essential information like hours, menu items, and event space details in a clear, mobile-friendly format.
- Brand-Reflective Design: A delicate mix of serif typography, custom illustrations, and pastel color palettes echoes the charm of the physical space.
- Simple UX: The layout prioritizes quick access to location, hours, and menu—designed with first-time visitors and regulars alike in mind.
- Optimized for Mobile: With a large percentage of traffic expected from Instagram and local searches, the site was fully responsive and lightweight.
Despite the thoughtful design and completed build, the owner ultimately decided not to move forward with launching the site. As a result, the project remains archived, fully functional but unreleased—serving as a snapshot of what a digital home for Little Dandelion could have been.
