About Cele Dubrovnik Gourmet & Lounge

For almost 80 years Cele has been a popular meeting spot. We believe there is almost no one who has been in Dubrovnik and didn’t have at least a cup of coffee at our place. So many people every day enjoy morning, daily or night moments. This long tradition started in 1932 when Celestin – Cele Šikić – founded the bar, where people could have cake, coffee or homemade biscuits. During the years it has been a famous place in the city, due both to its position and its ever-delicious offers.

Project’s scope

Cele Dubrovnik Gourmet & Lounge, a popular restaurant in Dubrovnik known for its robust social presence, required a modern update to its outdated website. Esimple contacted E1SOL, specialists in delivering premium WordPress websites, to undertake this project.

Design Approach

In crafting the new website for Cele Dubrovnik Gourmet & Lounge, our design approach centered on creating a sophisticated and accessible online presence that echoes the restaurant’s elegant ambiance. Recognizing the importance of a seamless user experience, we ensured that all menus were easily accessible and clearly defined. Opting for a dark theme, we faced the challenge of incorporating a color scheme that complements a black background without overwhelming it. 

Fortunately, the restaurant’s logo, which is elegantly designed in gold, naturally complements the black, creating a luxurious and inviting palette. To further personalize the design and pay homage to the restaurant’s heritage, we skillfully incorporated elements of Dubrovnik’s iconic symbols into the website’s aesthetic. This thoughtful integration not only enhances the visual appeal but also strengthens the connection between the digital experience and the physical locale of Cele Dubrovnik, offering visitors a taste of its unique charm and sophistication even before they step through its doors.

Challenges and Solutions

01. Elegant Design Aesthetics

At E1SOL, we approached the Cele Dubrovnik Gourmet & Lounge website with the intent to fuse sophistication with functionality. The design ethos was centered around a dark theme that not only aligns with the upscale and modern appeal of the restaurant but also sets the stage for a striking color scheme of black and gold, reflective of the establishment's logo. This choice not only adds a layer of luxury but also improves navigability by highlighting key elements. To connect the website with the local culture of Dubrovnik, we meticulously integrated symbols and motifs associated with the city, enhancing the thematic consistency and creating a deeper resonance with visitors looking for an authentic Dubrovnik dining experience.

03. Streamlined Website Migration

The migration of the Cele Dubrovnik website to its new and improved version was executed with precision and strategic planning. Our team ensured a seamless transition, with no downtime, to maintain the restaurant's online presence and customer engagement. We prioritized preserving SEO rankings and existing user data integrity throughout the process. By employing the latest technologies and following best practices for website migration, we delivered a smooth shift to the new platform, which included upgraded security measures and enhanced performance capabilities, setting a new standard for the restaurant’s digital footprint.

02. Optimized User Experience and Interface

Understanding the critical role of user experience in website design, our team dedicated itself to crafting an interface that is as intuitive as it is engaging. The navigation was structured to be straightforward, allowing easy access to information with minimal user effort. This was complemented by interactive menus and a responsive layout that adapts seamlessly across devices and platforms. Our UI/UX design not only focuses on aesthetic pleasure but also on functional excellence, ensuring that each visitor's interaction is smooth, satisfying, and hassle-free.

The team at E1SOL exceeded our expectations by crafting a stunning digital experience that perfectly mirrors the elegance and history of our restaurant. The website is not only visually striking but also performs beautifully. It’s been a game changer for our online presence!
