Jesse’s Embers Restaurant Website Redesign and Photography
Integrity Grove partnered with Jesse’s Embers, a long-standing Des Moines steakhouse, to redesign their website and capture new photography that reflects the warmth and character of their space. Our goal was to create a modern, easy-to-navigate website that captures the restaurant’s timeless atmosphere, showcases its signature dishes, and provides a seamless experience for guests looking to explore the menu or make a reservation.

Services Performed
Integrity Grove worked with Jesse’s Embers to revitalize their digital presence and create an online experience that mirrors the inviting energy of their restaurant. By redesigning the website from the ground up, optimizing it for mobile devices, and conducting an on-site photoshoot, we helped bring their in-person hospitality to life online. The result is a visually rich and intuitive website that makes guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
Website Redesign:
We completely transformed Jesse’s Embers’ website with a refined, contemporary design that honors the restaurant’s rich history.
The new layout highlights the most important visitor actions such as viewing the menu, learning about the restaurant, and contacting the team while weaving in photography that captures the warm lighting, wood tones, and timeless charm of the space.
Mobile Optimization:
Since many guests browse from their phones while dining out or making plans, we ensured the new website performs flawlessly across all devices.
Every page was designed to load quickly and display beautifully whether viewed on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone. This mobile first approach helps the restaurant connect with guests at the right moment when they are searching for a great meal nearby.
Brand Photography:
To make the digital experience authentic, our team visited Jesse’s Embers for a full photo session. We photographed the dining room, bar, signature dishes, and the small details that make the space so memorable.
These images now serve as the visual foundation of the website, inviting guests to experience the same warmth and ambiance they will find in person.
Custom Analytics Report:
As part of the project, we implemented analytics tracking to measure visitor behavior, traffic sources, and engagement. These insights allow Jesse’s Embers to monitor website performance over time and identify opportunities to enhance guest interactions online.
Outcomes and Impact
The collaboration between Jesse’s Embers and Integrity Grove resulted in a refreshed digital identity that honors the restaurant’s history while embracing modern design. The new site provides a smooth, mobile-friendly experience and uses photography to tell the restaurant’s story visually.
Guests can now discover Jesse’s Embers online in the same way they experience it in person, through great atmosphere, attention to detail, and an enduring sense of hospitality. The project strengthened the restaurant’s connection with both longtime patrons and first-time visitors, setting the foundation for continued growth and engagement in the years ahead.
