Case Study - Thai Chill Out
Client Introduction
Located in Thirroul and set in the historic Ryan’s Hotel, Thai Chill Out is one of the premier Thai restaurants in the Illawarra.
Project Overview
Interactive Drive was contracted by Thai Chill Out to develop an online presence for their business. Thai Chill Out did not have an existing website but had already developed a strong branding image both in their restaurant and their takeaway menus. Key to their branding were the following qualities:
- Bright and modern
- Thai musical instrument theme
- Relaxed, "Chilled Out" atmosphere
The key aims of the web site included:
- Showcase their food and restaurant
- Promote and provide further information on functions
- Provide contact details and location map
- Generate more business by being locatable through other web sites, directories and search engines
As Thai Chill Out had little knowledge of web sites and limited time, Interactive Drive handled all aspects of the development including:
- Web Design
- Photography
- Content Copy
- Registering a Domain Name
- Hosting
- Search Engine Optimisation and Submission
The final result can be viewed at http://www.thaichillout.com.au
Interactive Drive has also designed both posters and special menus for Thai Chill Out. An example can be viewed in the gallery above.
