Bootstrap Site Blueprints Volume II

Chapter 2. Building a Restaurant Website

In the previous chapter, we laid down the foundation that will be used in all our blueprints moving forward. In the second chapter, we'll use our Harp.js development environment and build an actual restaurant website. This will include building more page templates, introducing Google Web Fonts, customizing Bootstrap components, and much more. But before we jump right into it by expanding on the files we set up in the first chapter, let's preview the home page for our new restaurant website:

Building a Restaurant Website

Building our development environment

In the first chapter, we kept our Harp.js development environment pretty basic. We did this because we want to be able to use it as a boilerplate for all our projects. The first thing that we need to do in this chapter is expand on our original work to customize and extend it for our restaurant website.

Adding more pages

Now, the first thing we should do is update _data.json with all the new pages that we'll be building for our restaurant website. Along with our home page, let's add three new pages: Menu, About, and Contact. Our file should look like this:

{
  "index": {
    "pageTitle": "Home"
  },
  "menu": {
    "pageTitle": "Menu"
  },
  "about": {
    "pageTitle": "About"
  },
  "contact": {
    "pageTitle": "Contact"
  }
}

As you can see, I've added three new sections to our JSON file. Make sure you name your files...

Home page

The home page for the restaurant website will be split into four main parts: a primary image banner, an "about the restaurant" statement, a few food thumbnails that will link to our menu page, and a Bootstrap reviews carousel. Here's what the page that we'll be creating will look like:

Home page

Adding the primary header image

We're going to set up some reusable styles for this image banner, which will be present across multiple pages of the website. Here's the code for the home page banner:

<div class="public-banner">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-lg-12">
        <img src="img/banner.jpg" width="1170" height="500" alt="Public Restaurant Banner">
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

The primary image for the design will stretch the entire width of the layout. The problem is that Bootstrap provides some padding here by default. Using the .public...

The About page

The next page for our restaurant website is the About page. This page will feature a two-column layout and some custom text styles to give it a unique look. Here's a screenshot of what we'll be building:

The About page

Changing the feature image

The first thing that we need to do is create a new file called about.ejs. Next, we'll change the feature image as displayed in the preceding screenshot. To do this, we'll simply update this image line of code:

<img src="img/banner-about.jpg" width="1170" height="500" alt="Public Restaurant About Banner">

Make sure you update the alt text to optimize your image for search results. The next thing we need to do is set up our two-column layout. I'm going to wrap a <div> with a class of .page-body around the row, as we've done in the past:

<div class="page-body">

This will allow us to apply some padding around our main page body:

.page-body {
  padding: (@padding...

The Menu page

It's time to code the tastiest part of our restaurant website (sorry, that was a terrible pun). For our menu page, we'll use a three-column layout combined with some additional modal popups for our featured dishes. The following is a preview of what the page will look like:

The Menu page

As you can see, I've kept the layout pretty minimal, which is my style and will transfer well to the mobile view. Let's start by going over the page header style that is used for each section of the menu.

Customizing the .page-header class

For each section of the menu, I'm using a <h2> tag with the Bootstrap .page-header class to make it stand out. Here's what the code looks like:

<h2 class="page-header">Appetizers</h2>

Since we don't want our site to look like a generic Bootstrap project, I'm going to customize the look and feel of the page-header component:

.page-header {
  padding-bottom: (@padding * 1.5);
  margin: @margin 0;
  border-bottom...

The Contact page

We're down to the final page of our restaurant website. The last thing do is set up our Contact page, which will include an actual Google map along with some required content that all restaurants should ideally list on their website. Here's what the Contact page will look like once we're done:

The Contact page

Inserting the Google Map

If you haven't done this before, you should note that Google actually makes it quite easy to generate maps that you can insert into your website. First, let's head over to http://google.com/maps. Once it loads up, enter the address of your restaurant. I don't have an actual restaurant, so I'm just using Vancouver as my search term. After the map is generated, there will be a little Settings gear icon near the bottom-right corner of the window. Click on this icon and you'll see a pop-up menu. Choose the Share or Embed Map option from the menu.

Clicking on this link will launch a modal. Make sure you click on the second tab...

  "about": {

  },
  "contact": {
    "pageTitle": "Contact"
  }
}

As you can see, I've added three new sections to our JSON file. Make sure you name your files to match the first part. Then, I've defined a pageTitle value for each page. Save the file and close it.

Note

The _harp.json doesn't require...

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
