Joris Bijdendijk is a Dutch chef of two Michelin-star restaurants and a revered cookbook author and columnist. With such a well-established career, his website designed by Cut the Code gave justice to that.
The site’s homepage features a full-screen slider that serves as the main navigation. Website visitors can simply hit the “See” button to explore more of the chef’s work and achievements. Alternatively, they can drag the slider image to swipe left and right.
The designer added a standard navigation bar at the top and a hamburger menu for easy access. This double navigation style helps site visitors browse through the pages without going back to the slider.
Each section has a different color story and a stunning photograph to go with it. The main visual for each display is a flat lay of a plate containing various items: dishes, books, grades, and whatnot.
This aesthetic is a recurring theme for the rest of the pages, which genuinely did wonders for the chef’s personal branding!
