The Kurpfälzisches Museum (Palatinate Museum) is a museum of art and archaeology in Heidelberg, Germany. It is located in the Palais Morass.

The restaurant is located close to the museum with its outdoor area actually being in the beautiful garden of the museum where people can sit around an old fountain and enjoy the view.

In 2016 the restaurant got a new owner who decided to renew the whole place including their website which was built in the 90’s.

There was no corporate design as such and the old website design was not reusable at all, so I chose to get inspired by the restaurant itself.

Before hand it was clear that a responsive website was needed which would have a decent and elegant look and was easy to use and navigate.

After a photo shooting I decided to go for a design which would be heavily based on large and full screen surface areas filled with photographs of the restaurant with some color filter and blur effects. These areas could be used as page backgrounds, heading backgrounds and content separators.

Having no need for a color palette only one color was needed to be defined to have contrasting color to black and white: gold.
In combination with the calligraphic typeface for subheaders the golden color would add all the elegance and fineness to the website appearance.
