Project Definition
The website I am doing is Malaysian traditional food cafe, PappaRich. The old decoration, traditional Malay, Chinese and Indian foods and drinks, these are their identity of the cafe and bring the customers to the past. They serve the cuisines from appetizers to desserts, some are served in original taste, some are made in new way, its not only promoting the traditional food to the new generation and also attracting to the grandparents go to the modern kopitiam and dine there. PappaRich is providing the old and classical environment concept, so that, their website should consistent to their impression.
Current Site’s Analysis Goals
The website is going to provide the specialties, menu, outlets, gallery, events and information about the restaurant, giving a clearly information to the customer. There are a lot need to be improved in the original site. Bellow are my comments for the site:1. Logo is huge.2. Images size are not consistent.3. Bad arrangement on the content, especially menu page.4. The navigation bars are not consistent, it isn't catching reader's eyes.5. Some font are too large, they might confuse the audience.6. Colors are not interesting, boring.
To increase the hit rate, the site should be redesigned, but maintain PappaRich classical concept.

PappaRich is seen to be a place for one to catch up with friends while enjoying a cup of delicious and aromatic coffee.

Short & Long-term Site GoalsAnother target customer of the ship restaurant is the tourist, so the site is being a important role to promote the restaurant.
For short-term, PappaRich should let the local know that there are an informative and nice local restaurant site existed, because the original website is not attracting, so that, not many people would like to enter the site for searching food.
For long-term, they should update the latest promotion as soon as possible, but not to provide outdated information and maintain the old style. Moreover, tourist always get across internet to know more about the specialties of local food, Kopitiam is the 1st choice and providing a varieties of local foods. So, the attractive site are necessary for a tourist-aiming restaurant.
Target Audience
- Office Worker
- Tourist
PappaRich attracts more Officer Worker, aged 25 and above, because they would miss the traditional food, like what they dine at Kopitiam in past, especially the variety type of coffee. Besides, there is a suitable place for them meeting. Tourist is the secondary customer for the restaurant, they would like to try more local foods than others, like spicy cuisine, which is seemed special favorite to them. Moreover, Malaysian foods are varieties, they can taste it more in PappaRich.
Competitor’s AnalysisThe primary competitor is Old Town restaurant, which is having the same concept of PappaRich. They serving the traditional foods Malaysian, old looking exterior, and the price is affordable as well. Nevertheless, Old Town was successful in their advertisement and nice website layout design.The secondary competitor is the normal Chinese restaurant and Mamak. This is because the foods and drinks is cheaper, compare to PappaRich. The difference between them is, there are good and comfortable environment in Papparich. MoodBoard
