Web design for restaurants
Restaurant website design for people deciding where to eat tonight
Hardly anyone reads a restaurant website from top to bottom. They want four things, usually on a phone and often while standing in the street: what’s on the menu, how much it costs, whether you’re open and how to book. If any of those takes more than a couple of taps, they’ll try the place next door.
That’s true whether you run a restaurant, a village pub, a cafe or a takeaway, and it shapes everything we build for you.
Menus people can actually read
A photographed or PDF menu is hard to read on a phone and invisible to Google. We put your menu on the page as real text, with prices, so people can read it easily and search engines can understand it. Seasonal and specials menus can sit alongside the main one, and with the Premium Website you can change dishes and prices yourself.
- Allergen and dietary information, or a clear line on how to ask
- Opening hours that are easy to find and easy to keep up to date
- Directions, parking and whether you welcome dogs or children
- Proper photographs of your food and your room, not a stock image of a steak
Bookings without the phone tag
If you already use a table booking system, we’ll link it from every page so a booking is one tap away. If you’d rather keep things simple, a booking request form sends enquiries straight to your inbox. Private hire, functions and gift vouchers each deserve their own page, because they are often the most valuable enquiries you get.
Found when people search nearby
When someone searches for somewhere to eat near them, the map results usually appear first. Your Google Business Profile and reviews drive those, and your website backs them up. We explain how that works in our guide to local search and the map pack.
What it costs
Our Classic Website is £30 a month including VAT: up to 15 pages, up to 50 images, hosting, SSL, a business mailbox, a contact form and unlimited phone and email support. The Premium Website is £45 a month and adds a content management system so you can edit everything yourself, unlimited pages, online payments, custom forms and members’ areas. Our photographer can shoot your food and your room from £420 for 50 photos. There’s no setup fee and no minimum term, and you can compare both on our web design packages page.
A screen showing today’s specials can save a lot of chalk, so have a look at our digital signage page as well.

Questions restaurants often ask us
Can I update my menu myself?
Yes, with the Premium Website you can log in and change dishes, prices and opening times whenever you need to. On the Classic Website, just send us the changes and our team will update it for you.
Should my menu be a PDF?
We recommend putting the menu on the page as text. It reads far better on a phone, loads quickly and can be found by Google. You can still offer a printable PDF as well if you like.
Can customers book a table online?
If you use a table booking system, we will link to it clearly from every page. Otherwise a booking request form can send enquiries straight to your inbox so you can confirm them.
Can we sell gift vouchers?
Yes. The Premium Website can take card payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay, so you can sell vouchers or take deposits for events directly on your site.
Can you photograph our food?
Yes. Our photography package is £420 for 50 photos, and because we design the website too, we plan the shots around the pages you need.
Is there a long contract?
No. There is no minimum term and no setup fee, so you can cancel at any time.
