The working site

The built site, in motion

The home page of direction E, scrolling by itself. The full site, with dishes, categories, workshops and a cart, opens in its own tab.

Questions as headlines

Always wanted to make pizza like in Italy?

The brand talks to the visitor. So does the site: every screen opens with a question, then shows the flour to pick and everything else the dish needs.

The brief

From a student site to a store with a voice

Grano is an Italian flour, pasta and baking shop. I designed its brand book, and the first website was a student project built in Figma. This time the goal was a site that speaks the brand and works as a real store, with navigation, categories, recipes and a cart.

The challenge

The old site looked like a template, not a brand

The old Grano category tiles
Before · the old category tiles
The new Grano categories, opening panels
After · six panels that open
No hierarchy

Eight identical tiles

Every category looked the same, so nothing helped a visitor decide.

Products, not dishes

Nothing connected the items

To make a pizza you need flour, yeast and tomatoes. The site sold them as separate things.

Brand not applied

The brand book stayed in the book

The brand typeface, thin frames and dark photography never reached the site.

Process

From brand book to a working store

01

Read the brand book

Pulled out 6 rules the site must keep: two colours, the brand typeface, thin frames, dark photography, questions as headlines and a protected logo.

02

Explore 4 directions

Each direction tested a different question, all within the language of the brand book.

03

Choose and fix

The brand-book direction, “Stories”, fit best but was missing pages, visible navigation and categories. I added them.

04

Build and check on phone

Built in HTML, CSS and JavaScript and checked at desktop, tablet and phone widths after every round.

Dark photography

Food on black, warm light, headlines in gold.

The brand book already had a look. The old site never used it. The new one is built from it.

4 directions

4 directions, each asking a different question

Not 4 websites to pick the prettiest one. Each direction tested one idea, and the final design keeps something from several of them. Hover or tap a panel.

Brand book rules

6 rules the site had to keep

RULE 01

Two colours

Burgundy #5F2C2C and gold #E5B37C, with black and white as neutrals.

RULE 02

One typeface

Mikhmoret, the brand typeface. My first versions used a different one that the book does not list. מה אופים היום?

RULE 03

Thin frames

A thin line around pages and a short rule under titles.

RULE 04

Dark photography

Food on black, warm light, headlines in gold.

RULE 05

Questions as headlines

“Always wanted to make pizza like in Italy?” The copy talks to the visitor.

RULE 06

The logo stays whole

Protected space around it, approved colour versions, never stretched or recoloured.

Key decisions

4 decisions that did the work

The old site sold products. The new one helps someone cook.

01

Shop by dish

Each screen starts with a question, then two rows: pick a flour, and see what else you need.

02

Categories that open

Eight identical tiles became six panels that open on hover and show how many products each holds.

03

A recipe you can buy

Exact amounts, and every ingredient from the shop links to its product. Add the whole dish to the cart in one click.

04

Phone is designed, not squeezed

Product rows scroll sideways so the title and products show together, and what sat on the left moves to the right.

Design language

1 shape, 1 rule for motion

Shape

One 4px corner

Everything is square with the same radius. No circles, no pills.

Motion

Moves only on action

A one-time reveal on scroll and feedback on hover. No looping background motion.

Readability

No single word on the last line

Balanced headings, plus a rule that keeps the last two words of every paragraph together.

Phone

Right-aligned, rows scroll sideways

Headings are always visible, and rows of products scroll sideways so the title stays on screen.

The outcome

A store that teaches as it sells

4 directions explored and 1 built as a working site: 14 page templates, 4 full recipes with exact amounts and 4 articles. The checkout and forms are a demo, and the recipes and articles are draft content to review with a baker. Concept project · HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
