About the product
Akina is a luxury fine-dining restaurant that offers a fusion of Asian flavors with a modern twist. Based in Mumbai, the brand emphasizes rich ambiance, curated experiences, and premium service. With a growing clientele and rising expectations for digital presence in the hospitality space, Akina needed a website that could represent its essence online as exquisitely as it does in person.
The Challenge
Akina’s existing website lacked visual depth, interactivity, and responsiveness. It did not reflect the luxurious and contemporary atmosphere of the restaurant. The navigation was minimal, mobile optimization was missing, and the site wasn’t doing justice to the brand’s premium positioning. Users often dropped off before completing reservations or exploring the menu.
Key problems:
- Outdated UI/UX
- No mobile optimization
- Poor storytelling of brand ambiance
- Lack of interactive content and smooth flows
- Low website conversion (for reservations and events)
The Solution
Our approach began with a deep dive into the brand story and restaurant aesthetics. We aimed to translate ambiance into interface — building a design that was visually rich, interactive, and user-focused. We combined cinematic visuals with smooth animations to make browsing the website feel like an experience in itself.
Key problems:
- A fully customized, responsive design
- Menu display with interactive hover and scrolling
- Event and reservation integration
- Cinematic hero section with scroll-based animation
- Streamlined navigation for quick access to menus and bookings
Our Role
Here is how our web application development team prioritized the UI/UX and the development phase of the Akina Website.
UI/UX Design
We crafted a high-end user interface that mirrored the ambiance of Akina’s interiors — using dark, elegant color palettes, cinematic imagery, and fluid layouts. The UX strategy focused on guiding users toward making reservations while immersing them in the brand story.
Development + Quality Assurance & Launch
Our dev team built the site with a mobile-first approach, using modern frameworks and animation libraries to create smooth, high-performance interactions. We ensured fast loading times, clean code, and easy backend manageability for the Akina team.
