Welcome to Rucker’s, which has been voted Best Steakhouse in Scottsdale four years running! At Rucker’s you can enjoy a quality steak, amazing wine, and a quiet atmosphere in a mountain-themed restaurant. Rucker’s has been a tradition in Scottsdale since 1975 and is an amazing place to dine.
ADDITIONAL SITE MAP INFORMATION
Create a separate page for the menu, specials, and gift cards. Create a form on the main page for customers to make an online reservation. Within this form include selection boxes for customers to choose a month, date, time (include AM and PM), and year for their reservation. Keep in mind Rucker’s is open seven days a week from 11 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 12 PM through 8 PM on Sunday.
Requirements for Page Links
- Place the phone number in the upper right-hand header of each page.
- Include the following email address in a “contact us” link on each page: [email protected]
- Make sure all links to other pages on the site work and contain a link back to the homepage for Rucker’s.
Special Photo Instructions
In addition to the stock photos provided for this assignment, find appropriate background images to use on each page that match the site and provide relevant material for a steak restaurant. Create a table to display photos of the various dishes Rucker’s has to offer.
Make sure to save all photos you use for your web page so you can submit them with the rest of your final assignment documents. You can use the photos provided for this assignment or find your own. If you find other pictures to use, be aware of copyright protection; make sure you use stock photos that aren’t copyright protected.
Save each of your .htm files with appropriate names, such as onlineorderform.htm, menu.htm, and specials.htm.
Menu Pages
John Rucker desires a main page with two separate subpages—one for his beer and wine list and the other for his shorter dessert list. For the main menu page, include a stock photo of some of the menu items; it isn’t necessary to include a photo of every item on the menu. Make sure the menu includes a list of various dishes and appropriate pricing for an upper-class steakhouse. He has daily featured meals with special pricing. Rucker’s sells various steak dinners (T-bone, Porterhouse, Sirloin, and so on), grilled chicken, fish, and salads. Make sure the specials.htm shows feature meals and special pricing.
John Rucker takes pride in his Arizona crafted beer and wine collection. Please be sure to highlight Arizona Stronghold’s Merlot and Four Peak’s Hop Knot, as these are his favorites. His dessert list contains four sweet treats. This list usually contains a chocolate treat (like a lava cake), a regionally inspired treat (like a prickly pear sundae), a seasonal pie, and a special monthly dessert called the Chef’s Creation. Make sure these separate pages are linked from the main menu page and go back to it.
Order Online Page
Create an Order Online page with a form for customers to fill out. Include appropriate size boxes for the following:
- First name
- Last name
- Phone number
- Email address
- Credit card number
- Credit card expiration date (with a selection box for the month and one for the year)
- CSV number on the back of the card
- Desired pickup time (a selection box with half-hour increments within the parameters of business hours)
You may reuse some of the same code on each page as long as it’s relevant and matches, so you don’t have to spend additional time retyping reused code.
About Us Page
Create an About Us page with a brief bio and history for Rucker’s. Feel free to enter your text, making sure to remember that Rucker’s is a quiet, family-friendly restaurant with a professional waitstaff. Rucker’s was founded in 1975. Create a brief backstory for Rucker’s.
