Aji — Premium Peruvian Restaurant Landing Page Template

Feature list

This template ships with six core interactive and visual features, all grounded in the brief.

Full-Screen Video Hero

A handheld, 16mm-graded clip opens on hands squeezing lime over corvina, then cuts to the dining room at golden hour. The video lazy-loads with a poster fallback, and the restaurant name appears in a heavy serif only on the second cut. Lighting design drives the mood from the first frame.

Before/After Drag Slider Grid

Each modular card pairs a raw ingredient with its finished dish. Visitors drag the slider themselves, pulling raw corvina beside plated ceviche clásico or dried ají panca beside lacquered lomo saltado. Cards escalate from one to three columns, and the interactive reveal makes every user feel involved before they select a table.

Sticky Reservation Bar and Modal Form

After the second card row, a sticky bar appears with a single call to action. The modal form includes a vintage wall calendar date picker, a party size counter, an occasion dropdown, and fields for name and phone. The user can set their visit details without leaving the page.

Full-Bleed Quote Strips

Between card rows, chicha purple bands display single review lines with no attribution. The format trusts the sentence to carry weight, which mirrors how social proof works best near the restaurant menu content.

Private Event Inquiry Path

A secondary section below the card grid invites groups of twelve or more to host a private ceviche night. A separate inquiry form captures the details needed for larger bookings, giving the restaurant a second conversion path beyond individual dinner reservations.

Neo-Retro Typography System

Fraunces handles heavy serif headlines while DM Sans covers body text. This pairing gives the page high-contrast readability, a key element of any successful Peruvian cuisine landing page. The type set feels warm and intentional, not decorative.

Page sections overview

Design & branding system

The color system uses earthy neutrals as a base, contrasted with deep jewel tones to reflect the Pacific coast. Vibrant fresh colors sit alongside warm rustic textures, creating a cozy yet modern atmosphere that matches the food.

• Parchment (#F5EDDA) backgrounds, oxidized rust (#A0522D) on headlines and card borders, chicha morada purple (#3B1F2B) for body text and footer
• Rocoto accent (#E25822) reserved for buttons and hover states, giving every call to action a single electric pop
• Fraunces serif for display headings, DM Sans for body copy, grain overlay texture across the hero for a faded Lima travel poster feel

Mobile & speed optimization

Most diners search for a dinner spot on a phone, often minutes before they want to go. This template is built mobile-first and designed for quick decisions.

• Video lazy-loads with a static poster image so the hero renders immediately on slower connections
• GPU-accelerated transforms power the drag sliders and sticky bar without blocking the main thread
• Scroll-triggered animations activate only when the element is in view, keeping the experience smooth as the user scrolls through the card grid

How this template helps you convert

The page is designed to move a visitor from curiosity to a confirmed reservation by letting the food content do the persuading first.

1. The before/after sliders build appetite and engagement early; by the time a user has dragged through six cards, they are choosing what to order, not whether to go
2. The sticky reservation bar keeps the booking action in persistent view after the second row, so a user never has to search for where to reserve
3. The private event path captures group bookings that a single reservation form would miss, expanding the restaurant's revenue opportunities
