Why it matters

Your website is your front of house online

When a diner searches for somewhere to eat, your website gives them their first impression. They decide within seconds whether to book or move on to a competitor.

Most restaurant websites are slow to load, difficult to use on a phone, and almost impossible to update without developer help. They look like templates because they are — and that costs you covers every single day.

We build bespoke websites that reflect your brand, load fast, and make it effortless for guests to find your menu, book a table, and understand what makes you worth visiting.

We work collaboratively at every stage. No jargon, no surprises — just a straightforward path from where you are to where you want to be.

We map your site structure, user journeys, and key calls to action. Wireframes give you a clear picture before design begins.

Bespoke design crafted to your brand, built on a fast and flexible WordPress platform with all integrations in place.

Launch and support

Ask a question

Every project is different, so we quote each one individually. The price range depends on the number of locations, menu complexity, and integrations needed. Multi-site restaurant groups with booking systems, CRM integrations, and bespoke design across several locations will sit higher. We’ll give you a clear, fixed-price quote before any work begins — no surprises, no hidden costs.

Typically 6–12 weeks from kickoff to launch. A single-location restaurant with a straightforward menu and booking setup will be closer to 6 weeks. A multi-location group like KIBOU — with location-specific menus, DesignMyNight integration across four venues, and CRM setup — will be closer to 12. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in our discovery call.

Yes. We build booking integrations directly into your website so guests can reserve a table without leaving the site. We work with ResDiary, OpenTable, DesignMyNight, and most other major platforms. The integration sits within your site’s design rather than redirecting visitors to a third-party page.

Absolutely. Every site we build runs on WordPress with a CMS designed around how restaurants actually work. You can update menu items, prices, seasonal specials, opening hours, and images without touching any code. We’ll train your team so everyone’s confident managing content from day one.

Yes, and it’s one of our strengths. We build scalable WordPress systems that let you manage menus, events, and content across every location from a single dashboard. KIBOU, a Japanese restaurant group with four UK venues, is a good example — we built a multi-location system designed to grow with them as they expand.

Every site we build has technical SEO built in from the start — restaurant schema markup, local SEO optimisation, Core Web Vitals compliance, and clean site architecture. This means Google understands what your restaurant is, where it is, and what you serve. We also offer ongoing SEO if you want to actively grow your organic traffic over time.

The first step is a free 30-minute discovery call where we’ll learn about your restaurant, your goals, and what’s not working with your current site. From there, we’ll put together a proposal. In terms of assets, we’ll need your branding (logo, colours, fonts), menu content, and photography — though we can advise on photography strategy and connect you with the right photographers if needed.
