This simple but effective website was a really cool project to add to my portfolio, and the An family were great to work with. One of the things that made this fun, was as part of the package I was able to help them establish a presence in the social media space with a SUMO branded page on Twitter and Facebook while setting up their accounts to connect with loyal users of Yelp and Foursquare. Check out the links below to see the final results. While the site has only been launched for a few days it has been really interesting to see how much online traffic the social media outlets are driving to the new site. This should equate to new diners for SUMO if worked properly.

The other thing that made this project enjoyable was the strong foundation of key elements. A very iconic and interesting logo coupled with fantastic food photography made it a cinch to incorporate their restaurant decor into their online personality.

Already known in SoCal for their everyday half price sushi menu and huge selection of beautifully artistic sushi rolls, the decision to go online for this local restaurateur was solidified by the addition of sushi catering for private and corporate events to their menu.

If your in Los Angeles be sure to stop by and tell Mr. An I sent you. You’ll be in for a culinary treat! I’d like to give a special shout out to Haekyung An for giving me the opportunity to work on this project. Without her it would not have been possible. Cheers- AW

In 2003, every day became Earth Day for Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies.
