Web design for restaurants

Restaurant websites built for the decision, not the brochure.

Somebody is deciding where to eat tonight with your site open on a phone. Everything we build is aimed at that moment.

How people actually use a restaurant site

Nobody reads a restaurant website. They scan it.

They want the menu, the hours, the room and a way to act — in that order, in about a minute.

  • They open it on a phone, often while someone else is waiting on an answer
  • The menu is the first thing they look for, and usually the hardest thing to read
  • They check the photos to see whether the room matches the occasion
  • They want to reserve, order or call without hunting for the link
  • If the page is slow, they go back to the search results

What we build differently for restaurants

What we build differently for restaurants

01 / MOBILE FIRST

Built for the phone

Most restaurant sites are designed on a large screen and used on a small one. We do it the other way round.

02 / MENU

A menu, not a PDF

Readable on a small screen, easy for you to update, and indexable by search engines instead of trapped in a download.

03 / ACTIONS

Reserve, order, call

The three things people came to do stay visible on every screen rather than sitting below the fold.

04 / THE ROOM

First impression that matches the room

Photography and type that look like the restaurant people will walk into, so expectations line up.

05 / LOGISTICS

Hours, location, parking

One tap, no scrolling. These are the questions that decide whether someone leaves the house.

06 / EVENTS

Somewhere for events to land

Private dining and catering get their own page and their own inquiry path instead of a shared contact form.

Questions

Questions restaurants ask us

Do we need a full redesign?
Often not. Plenty of what costs you orders is fixable on the site you already have. We'll tell you which category you're in before anyone talks about a rebuild.
Can you keep our online ordering and reservation providers?
Yes. We build around what you already run rather than asking you to switch systems.
Who updates the menu afterwards?
You can, and it takes a minute. If you'd rather we handle it, that's part of ongoing care.
How long does it take?
Two to six weeks from kickoff to launch, and about two hours of your time up front.
