Pullman Bar & Diner
Iowa City
Project Brief
Pullman Bar & Diner is a popular restaurant in downtown Iowa City. Their website needed a visual refresh as well as some TLC behind the scenes to stay secure. Creative Mellen, an Iowa City design firm that we often partner with, presented us with the website design, and tasked us with making the site easily navigable, mobile-friendly, and secure, while implementing their simple, beautiful layout which helps convey the classy-casual vibe of the restaurant itself.

Outcome
Pullman now has a site that clearly displays the basic information that customers want to know such as their hours, menus, and specials. In addition, there are fun features that offer site visitors a more intimate experience with the restaurant like the food gallery, the social media feed from their Facebook and Instagram, and the About Us page where you can see the names of Pullman’s managers and chefs.
