A well-designed website for a restaurant or cafe typically includes some of the elements we have added below, but our experience is that these businesses all require customization and special attention to cosmetics. We will guide our clients through a process that ensures their website matches their brick and mortar perfectly.
- Homepage: The home page will need to look just as yummy as the items on our client’s menu and we encourage good photography to be used. An inviting homepage that features high-quality images of the food, the interior, and the ambiance. It should provide a brief introduction to the restaurant and its unique offerings.
- Menu: A clear and easy-to-navigate menu section that lists dishes, descriptions, and prices. Photos of select dishes can enhance the menu's appeal.
- About Us: A page detailing the restaurant's history, philosophy, and what makes it special. This could include information about the chef, the culinary team, or the type of cuisine offered.
- Location and Contact Information: Clearly display the restaurant's address, phone number, email, and possibly a map for directions. Including contact forms or links to reservation systems can also be helpful.
- Online Reservations: An easy-to-use reservation system, whether built into the site or linked to a third-party service, allowing users to book tables online. There are free solutions and then custom plug ins we can quote on at an additional fee.
- Gallery: A yummy photo gallery showcasing various aspects of the restaurant, such as popular dishes, special events, and the dining atmosphere. Visuals are often the deciding factor when a customer is looking at multiple options, so your gallery must be a portfolio that really stands out.
- Customer Reviews: Featuring reviews or testimonials from customers can help build credibility and attract new patrons. Adding positive reviews direct onto the website is something we recommend, and we can also help with add on services such as online reputation management.
- Events and Offers: Information about any upcoming events, live music, or special promotions.
- Blog or News Section: Regular updates about the restaurant, new menu items, community involvement, or industry news.
- Social Media Links: Links to the restaurant's social media profiles to encourage further engagement and connection.
- Accessibility and Mobile-Friendly Design: Ensuring the site is accessible to all users and optimized for mobile devices for a smooth browsing experience.
- SEO Optimized Content: Use of SEO-friendly content to increase the website's visibility in search engine results. This is especially important when it comes to geo location searches and making sure your restaurant features for location-based searches.
Incorporating a combination of these elements can help create a website that not only attracts potential customers but also provides them with all the information they need to choose your restaurant or cafe.
