Homepage Mockup Design Variations

While choosing what I believe to be the optimal homepage design, I came up with a number of variations, at the request of the client. Frankly, I think all of these options are beautiful, and choosing one is difficult! Though I believe the black color theme is most fitting for the steakhouse, the white color theme offers a brighter option. One compromise would be to occasionally change the color theme or layout, for instance, by season.

For the boxed version only, the layout is different on a large desktop than on a small desktop. However, based on current trends, I believe users are more likely to view the website on mobile, laptop or small desktop.

The header photo, which is used with permission of the Hutchinson News, was taken from a Hutchinson News story about the Pretty Prairie Steakhouse.

The large footer is left out of the mockups to save space.
