Route 66 Smashburgers: website hero
The Brief

Route 66 Smashburgers came to us with one asset: their logo, a Route 66 shield with slanted SMASHBURGERS lettering in vintage cream, Route 66 red and golden orange. We built this concept site from that logo alone, to show the owners what their brand could become online. Menu items, prices and the address are sample content, marked as such inside the build.

The Problem

Burger-joint websites tend to look the same: a stock photo, a PDF menu, and an Order button that sends people off to a delivery app. The logo pointed somewhere better, the American road. The job was to turn that into a site with a place, a voice and a way to order, without sliding into a retro template.

The Approach

Not a task list.
A set of deliberate moves.

Move 01

The lane

The signature burgers roll past on a dark road strip while the dashed centre line moves beneath them: a pinned drive-through on desktop and a swipe carousel on phones.

Five ways to smash: the signature burgers on the road strip, each with price and Add to cart
Move 02

Press, sear, stack

The method told in four pinned beats, with crossfading photography and a progress line that fills like a road.

The Sear beat: patties on a hot griddle with the step title set large
Move 03

Type from the highway

Barlow Condensed and Overpass both descend from US highway lettering, so the type itself belongs to Route 66. Sharp corners everywhere and one red for every action.

What It Delivered

The result, in plain terms.
