Help My Client Choose A Mobile Website Design - Icon or Button - Picture Inside

Mr Squeeze · 31st Mar 2013, 04:54 PM

Hey guys,

So I am making a fairly large mobile website for a friend of mine who owns a restaurant chain, and...

I'd like your help on which design looks better, ultimately the choice will be his in the end. But I will be showing him this thread for feedback.

Your thoughts are appreciated and welcomed.

Regards,
Stephen.

Icon style with a tap to call button/icon fit in there somewhere.

Thanks buddy,

There is actually going to be no contact or tap to call on the index page... There are a 9 or 10 restaurants in the chain so they will all have their own mini index page complete with location, tap to call, contact and a booking page.

Thanks for the input though.

Regards,
Stephen

Stephen,

I personally prefer the one with the icon buttons.

I do agree though that a prominent click to call button is needed on that site.

can you do click to call, then bring up a sub-menu of the various locations with each click to call

+1 for icon style. I can't make a correct judgment without seeing it on a real device but I would make the icons a little less darker.

The problem with the click to call is that there are numerous restaurants in the chain and no central number to be called.

Nice idea, I suppose I could have an icon labelled call your local pesto which would lead to a page with a click to call button for each location.

Thanks nail, I will throw a few different versions together with icon colour variations, my buddy can then check them live and choose his favourite.

I'm for the Icons

I prefer the design with icons, it has more dimension to it.
The buttons look kind of flat.

The background looks a bit dull to me. It can be brighter or you can even use a colour scheme that brightens up one's mood.

I also prefer the icon design

Thanks for the feedback buddy, however the colours need to match the desk top site.
