In Make Customers Love You

The newly renovated Customerlove Diner is open for business – a little early (I was planning to unveil it when we launch the next Customerlove Machine course, but it was too adorable to wait) – thanks to the beautimous talents of Rachael Acklin (design) and Willie Hewes (cute little waitress mascot – yes, she’s supposed to be me.)

What does all this mean, aside from the sheer fun of it?

Nothing in particular. I just wanted an honest-to-goodness professional design. I liked the old one (thanks to Chris Anthony for the logo and Rachael for the color tweaks) but I thought it was time to go full-out.

However, I have noticed that when people get kick-ass new web designs they start to, well, kick ass.ย So watch out!

xoxo,

      Isn’t she adorable? I’ve wanted a mascot from Willie since the first time I saw her stuff. It’s like a dream come true. ๐Ÿ™‚

    The waitress mascot is adorables. I actually thought, “that’s the person I want coming to my table”. Totally kick-ass.

    Congrats!!

      Thanks! I was a waitress for years, actually, and really enjoyed putting delicious food in front of my customers. So this is a real treat – plus: my feet don’t hurt!

      Thanks, Vas! My mom’s diner was at 27th and Washington, before the freeway went through and tore up the whole neighborhood. It was a different kind of diner, not shiny and retro like this design, but a real, working class diner where factory workers and truck drivers came for breakfast, lunch, and after the bars closed.

      I thought I hated every minute of it back then, but I miss it terribly now.

    Breakfast all day? With bacon? You sure know how to love your customers, LaVonne!

      Funny how breakfast is everyone’s favorite meal of the day, yet so many of us don’t eat it. Too bad what’s considered a really good breakfast is totally unhealthy. At least we don’t have to worry about clogged arteries with a virtual breakfast. ๐Ÿ™‚
