From: January 2025
I worked with Shahidul Islam from Fall River, MA, who wanted to establish a strong online presence for his new Indian restaurant, Monalessa’s Kitchen. His goal was to create a clean, modern, and engaging website that reflects the brand identity and helps attract local customers. Shahidul needed everything from scratch — website design, content writing, logo design, and graphics. I used the Divi Theme with the Poke Restaurant layout as a base and fully customized it to match the brand. I designed the logo, created all visual assets, and wrote all site content, including taglines, about sections, service descriptions, and policy pages. SEO was a key priority. I optimized every page using Yoast SEO Pro and integrated Google Site Kit for analytics and performance tracking. Additionally, I used Smush Pro for fast page loading across all devices. A challenge was ensuring the reservation form was user-friendly with proper submission confirmation. I implemented a clear confirmation message and thoroughly tested responsiveness on major browsers and devices. The website is now fast, SEO-optimized, fully responsive, and ready for future features like online ordering, pickup, and delivery. This project gave Shahidul a professional digital identity and positioned the restaurant for growth.
