It's Just Lunch
Introduction
Not your average dating website filled with algorithms and swiping, It’s Just Lunch brings together the right people by using the intuition and expertise of their certified matchmakers. We helped them ring in their 30th anniversary with a website redesign.
The Challenge
It’s Just Lunch was looking to completely revamp their existing website and branding to celebrate their 30 years of matchmaking. They were open to all sorts of suggestions for improving the branding and user experience. The main challenge was that they utilized a franchise model and needed to run all changes by their franchisees to make sure everyone was on board with the new direction

The Solution
We needed to create a brand new Information Architecture (site maps & database pages organization) and experiment with user flows to get a good understanding of what the redesigned site would look like. Our new, simplified flow worked in 3 clicks. We slimmed down the site structure so the user lands on the website, reads key information, and contacts the matchmakers. The structure was trimmed down to ensure quick conversion.
Research
Our research mainly consisted of a robust analysis of the It’s Just Lunch competitors and SEO strategies. We discovered what was working, what wasn’t, and possible improvements.
01
The recognizability of the brand was too solid to be completely scratched. So a logo refresh, new typography system, and an updated color palette was the safest approach.

We went through many different iterations of the It’s Just Lunch design, focusing mainly on a full-screen scroll so that the user was only presented with one section at a time.
