In January 2012, /main_2.html carried the simple title “Home” and used the mature navigation seen across Bolsa: Home, About Bolsa, Menus, Media and Contact. Its menu links opened brunch, lunch, dinner, cocktails and wine, with a seasonal New Year’s menu added for that year.
The homepage’s main message was brief. It described Bolsa as one of Dallas’s exciting restaurants and pointed readers toward pictures and press. A compact footer supplied a mailing-list invitation and the practical service information expected on a restaurant site of the period.
Latest at Bolsa
A “Latest at Bolsa” block paired a photograph link with an October 2010 date and a short restaurant description. The neighboring media links led to Photos, videos, a calendar and press, creating a compact path from the homepage into the restaurant’s visual and event coverage.
Previous and Next controls sat above the main feature, reinforcing the homepage’s role as an image-led introduction. Below, “more pictures” and “more press stories” links split the latest material into visual and written paths without crowding the central restaurant message.
The original menu paths
The brunch menu includes soup, salads, flatbreads, brunch specials, sides and sweets. The dinner menu opens by explaining that it drew inspiration from the best local ingredients available each season and changed regularly according to what farmers, growers, ranchers and fishermen offered.
Lunch, cocktails, wine and a New Year’s menu completed the early menu family. These links sat beneath one Menus heading, while Photos, Videos, Calendar and Press formed a parallel Media group. The arrangement let a concise homepage direct visitors quickly by meal, drink or occasion.
Fresh, local and seasonal
The early homepage was concise because it functioned as a doorway. Start with Get To Know Us, continue to the restaurant page, or move into the menu index for the food and drink sections.
