Restover
A website that proves the product.

The brief
A marketing site for a restaurant platform has to earn trust in seconds — and prove, by existing, what it promises: speed, care and an eye for detail. No template, no page builder. A distinct, editorial voice that feels like the product behind it.
Design in motion
Craft
Editorial typography in Fraunces and Inter carries the page; each section reads like a chapter. Motion follows one grammar: a shared set of easings and timings, soft smooth-scrolling, a hero device that tilts as you scroll, horizontally pinned sections and dark, candlelit chapters. All of it honours prefers-reduced-motion and falls back to native scrolling on touch.


Bilingual, right to left
Language
The site speaks German and Arabic — and Arabic means real right-to-left: a mirrored layout via logical CSS properties, mirrored arrows and motion, even the horizontally pinned sections run the correct way. Not a `dir` flag bolted on afterwards, but bilingual by design.

Trust, built in
Trust
Here, trust is an engineering decision. No trackers, no analytics, no marketing cookies. Fonts self-hosted, product images from an EU object store in Falkenstein — no US sub-processor, and images swap without a deploy. The contact form validates server-side, rate-limits over hashed IPs and checks the origin — privacy built in, not bolted on.


Copy the code keeps honest
Editorial as code
For fiscal law, Restover Basic is a pre-system, not a certified point-of-sale system — and the copy isn't allowed to blur that. So a custom CI check guards the content: if a Pro term like 'TSE' or 'KassenSichV' appears on a Basic page without a clear disclaimer, the build fails. Unicode-aware, down to Arabic. Editorial governance as code — so a casual copy edit never becomes a legal promise.
