2010 American Web Design Award

Our site for Macku Sushi is a winner of the 2010 American Web Design Awards. We think it’s pretty fresh ourselves too. The editors of Graphic Design USA sponsor this national competition which celebrates ‘the power of a well-designed site to attract audiences, communicate information, generate engagement and response, and market products and services.’ The emphasis is on visual design and aesthetics and one of the most important goals of the competition is ‘to trumpet the value of design to business and society.’

Mightybytes created the site to showcase the contemporary Japanese cuisine of Macku Sushi, where each dish has a unified intention and a clear vision, defined by a unique palette of ingredients, textures and flavors. The mouthwatering photography is by our friends at Andrews and Braddy. 

See more on this project in our portfolio.

Have a taste of Macku Sushi.
