Overview

I partnered with Woodside, a Mediterranean restaurant in Manchester, to create their brand identity and custom website in a two month sprint. The basis of the custom brand mark is to reflect the nearby plants found in the local park, Alkrington Woods, thier namesake. The website's design is based around creating space for the focus to be on booking a table. Since opening in 2025, Woodside has been welcomed by the community as a place to gather with friends and family, with majority of bookings coming through the website, Open table, and Instagram integrations.

Summary

Woodside has become a gathering spot for the local community. Positive feedback from residents on the locally inspired brand mark fostered a sense of community, ownership and pride. Strategic design has shaped how the business was perceived before a single customer was served. By ensuring brand awareness and a seamless user experience, we built a foundation for Woodside’s long-term success in its community.

“Mel’s been amazing to work with. We gave her a big job - create our brand, design the website and build it in just two months. She smashed it. We’ll be keeping her on board once we’re live to make sure it’s valuable for us and easy for our customers to use. I'd highly recommend Mel to any other small business owners if you're looking for a design partner!”

—Sam, Owner of Woodside
