Case Study: Thai Food Honies – Showcasing the Charm of Authentic Thai Cuisine in Bend, OR

Overview: Thai Food Honies, a beloved spot for authentic Thai cuisine, needed a website that would capture the warmth and personality of Chef Kaew, who had been serving Bend for over 21 years. The goal was to create a welcoming and vibrant site that showcased her heritage recipes and provided essential information to loyal customers, from menu options to contact details.

Challenge: The website needed to:

• Reflect Chef Kaew’s unique story and authentic Thai background.

• Provide an easy way for customers to view the menu and place orders.

• Convey the friendly and inviting atmosphere that Chef Kaew brings to her cooking.

Solution: The website design emphasized Chef Kaew’s personality and story.

• Personal Touch: A heartfelt introduction from Chef Kaew, welcoming visitors with her signature greeting, “Hi, Honey!” which instantly connected customers to her incredible personality.

• Menu Access: A clear, accessible menu PDF link, allowing customers to easily explore traditional Thai dishes inspired by family recipes.

This project was a testament to the power of a website that feels personal and true to the brand, allowing Thai Food Honies to share its authentic story and flavors with the Bend community.

Thai Food Honies closed in 2024, much to my own dismay (I’ll miss that cooking!).
