What we did for Nu Nu
Money first
The money bits sit up top
On Nu Nu, booking a table and buying a gift card are right at the top of the home page. Nobody hunts for the thing that pays the bills.
Real menus
A menu you can read on a phone
The menu is real text in a plain list, copied word for word from the kitchen’s cards. The PDF is there as a download, never the only way in.
Big buttons
Buttons you can’t miss
The weddings page puts a big button to plan a wedding right under the headline. One tap and the enquiry form is open.
Shop on the site
Browse here, pay on Shopify
Products come straight from the Shopify catalogue and the basket stays on the site. Shopify handles the checkout in one step.
After launch
Live, and still looked after
Nu Nu has been live since 27 October 2026 and we still look after it. Ask for a change and we make it, and any one can be undone on its own.

Plugged into their tools
Bookings and gift cards go to NowBookIt. Event enquiries open iVvy’s form from a button that matches the site. The shop reads Nu Nu’s Shopify catalogue, keeps the basket on the site and hands checkout to Shopify in one step.
Old addresses, new homes
The site replaced a TYPO3 site. As of 10 November 2026, 88 redirect rules send old addresses to the closest new page. Two weeks after launch, every page in the old sitemap redirected in one step.
- Old links still land
SEO from day one
Every page has its own title, description and share image, and tells Google it’s a restaurant with a menu and venues. There’s an llms.txt for AI search too. Two weeks after launch, all 14 pages were indexed at the right address.
Quick on a phone
Hero photos show straight away, smooth scrolling only loads for mouse users and the tickers run in CSS. Motion calms down when reduced motion is switched on.
It tidies up after itself
The Christmas pudding page changes its ordering copy by date. What’s on items take themselves down when they end.
Looked after
Security headers on every page. Forms are validated, rate-limited and spam-filtered. The menu page follows the kitchen’s own cards word for word, and the download is their PDF. Every change the owners ask for can be undone on its own, and we still look after the site.
