Kakes NYC case study

Elementor

Web Development

Pixel Perfect

New York City’s pioneer in cannabis friendly fine dining and event experientials. Kakes NYC collaborates with some of the city’s biggest Hip-Hop stars, hosts high profile events like Remy Ma’s Chrome 23 rap battle show, and curates an experience unlike any other. Puff and paint events, live DJs, and movie nights keep the garden, which features a retractable roof, buzzing week round.

Building with Elementor and provided designs

This website was built from provided PDF design and graphic elements – we just had to make everything within a WordPress Elementor setup. Working within the more limited bounds of Elementor poses its own set of challenges, however in the end we turned in a website that defies gravity, just like the venue. We even found a few places to suggest improvements to the design that ended up being approved, like the pipe separated menu and the Gallery / Menu blocks at the bottom of the home page.

What made this site special

The neon typography font paired with the black brick background created a unique feel that we loved bringing to life. The home page does a lot of heavy lifting and shows that a professional website doesn’t require lots of pages. A well organized page with a menu of anchor links and frequent calls to action can create an easy to navigate experience for users, and this site achieves that.

Clearly stated costs and policies set reasonable expectations

Kakes NYC isn’t your normal experience, doesn’t attract your normal clientele, and certainly won’t be constrained by restaurant norms. The website clearly outlines reservation fees, automatic gratuity policies, and more to keep guests informed on the costs of flying high.

Team bios that are actually interesting to read

The leadership team at Kakes is comprised of an accomplished group of entrepreneurs with experience across a range of industries. The about page properly highlights the unique backgrounds of the business team, while eulogizing the founding story.

A faq section that makes you want answers to questions you didn’t have

The best FAQ sections do more than simply answer frequent questions. They market the product or service, and make visitors curious about the answer to questions they didn’t have before, but are seeing in front of them. Kakes accomplishes this with a visually stimulating appearance and questions like, “can I bring my own bottle of booze?”.

Perks that make membership a no-brainer

Why pay $25 a visit when you can pay a one time membership fee that will recapture the cost within a couple of visits, and then only provides benefits? Kakes does a great job making the case for visitors to become members and repeat customers at their one-of-a-kind venue.
