WEEK 11 – Comparable Research Sites

I want to do Skyway, which is a drive-in restaurant. I looked at similar places and their websites. (https://www.skywaydrive-in.com/)

1. Swensons- Their menu is very engaging while also being very easy to follow; the navigation is also clean and easy: http://swensonsdriveins.com/swensons-menu/
2. Sonic- Their menu is nicely segmented into sections for the types of food which you can click through. Their main page is simple and leaves the food as the focus: https://www.sonicdrivein.com/
3. Burger King- I know it’s not a drive-in, but their main page is nice and understated with a static nav bar which I like. The menu is in a very odd spot though, which isn’t ideal, but I do like that it’s picture based: https://company.bk.com/menu
4. Dairy Queen- Another fast food place, Dairy Queen has a nice short home page. I like that its quick and to the point, so you can go through the other pages to view the rest of the site’s information: https://www.dairyqueen.com/us-en/?localechange=1&
5. Five Guys- Five Guys has a very simple menu, and I like how the main page is set up. In general, most of their pages are pretty simple, but it still goes with their brand/color theme: https://www.fiveguys.com/
6. Freddy’s- Freddy’s has a nice website that goes along with it’s color theme without being too overwhelming. They have several images on their home screen that are all linking to pages in the nav; and though some of them give out some info; they all have their own individual pages (Skyway has one “page” that just links to the bottom of the home page): https://freddysusa.com/
7. Pav’s- Pav’s keeps their website simple with a single hero image and the nav bar overlaying this image on the left. They also have their social media handles on the bottom of the screen instead of in the nav: https://pavscreamery.com/index.php
8. Panera- Their front page is simple- still follows their theme- but isn’t overwhelming. Their header is understated and doesn’t take up like, half of the screen: https://www.panerabread.com/en-us/home.html
9. Chipotle- I really like their header, and the idea of having a couple menu items on the front page is interesting: https://www.chipotle.com/
10. Chick-fil-A- Their website is really light (sparing use of accent colors) and the menu is part of the main page (you just have to scroll down) However clicking on the items themselves takes you to a different page: https://www.chick-fil-a.com/
