If you looooove hot dogs, then you should loooove
Wild About Harry's over on Knox Street in Dallas. Now, this little hole in the wall serves the best hot dogs in Dallas by my opinion. Everyone has been to a Deli that has a lot of different styles of sandwiches with different combinations of condiments, veggies and meats on it. Wild About Harry's does the same thing those deli's do to sandwiches to their hot dogs. They not only have hot dogs, they also have delicious custard with unique flavors. You can smell the sweet aroma from a block away, and it makes your mouth water.
But this post isn't about their hot dogs and how yummy they are, this post is about... you guessed it... their website. Now, the site isn't the best in the world, but it is so easy to get around on. Their navigation isn't hidden, it is right out front for you to see. There are no complications to really mess with what is actually there. It serves its purpose beautifully. People want to see the food, they show it. People want to see the menu, they supply it. There is no beating around the bush... everything is right there for you to find.
It also really captures the atmosphere of Wild About Harry's. Every time I go in there, every one is so friendly and patient. Plus with the human sized hot dogs and french fries that are laughing in the corner really brighten up the mood. If you ever go into the place with a bad attitude, you won't leave with one. The site being so simple also really reflects their attitude. The restaurant isn't a complicated place... so why have a complicated website. Now, is this the design that we would have done at OFB, no. There are a lot of different ways we could have made the design more interesting. (Maybe more pink... you can't have enough pink!!! wink wink) But as far as functionality goes, it fits in with this family run business.
So next time you are at the Apple Store or Crate and Barrel, stop in Wild About Harry's and get one of their special hot dogs or delicious custard. My favorite is the Key Lime Pie Custard.... yum!
