Can I update my own menu when prices or dishes change?

Yes. We build every restaurant site so you can make menu changes yourself without any technical knowledge. Change a price, add a seasonal dish, remove something — it takes a couple minutes and you don't need to contact anyone to do it.

Do you set up online ordering or just link to a third-party app?

Depends on what makes sense for your restaurant. We can integrate with systems like Square or Toast directly into your site, or connect to platforms you already use. The goal is that customers stay on your website and the process feels smooth, not like they got bounced somewhere else.

What if I don't have professional photos of my food?

Phone photos taken in good lighting honestly work fine for getting started. We can help you figure out which shots will look best on the site. Down the road, if you want to invest in a local photographer, we'll swap those in whenever you're ready.

How long does it take before my site shows up on Google?

The site itself goes live as soon as it's built — a few days for a simple site, about a week for a full build. Showing up in Google search results takes longer, usually a few weeks to a couple months. If ranking higher matters to you, that's what the SEO package is for.

Will my website work on phones?

Every site we build works on phones, tablets, and desktops. Most people looking for a restaurant are on their phone, so that's actually what we design for first. The desktop version comes second.

What a Restaurant Website Actually Needs to Do

When somebody in Edgewood or anywhere nearby searches for a place to eat, they want three things fast — your menu, your hours, and how to get there. That's the job your website has. Not to impress people with flashy animations or five pages of your backstory. Just give them what they came for.

A good restaurant site puts the menu where people can read it without pinching and zooming on their phone. Not a PDF. Not a photo of a printed menu taken at an angle. Actual text, laid out clean, that loads in a second. Your hours and address should be right there the moment the page opens. And your phone number should be tappable — one touch and they're calling you. If you want online ordering or reservations, that gets built in from the start, not bolted on as an afterthought that half-works.

Then there's the photos. Good shots of your food and your dining room do more selling than any paragraph of copy ever will. People eat with their eyes first. A few real photos of your plates, your space, maybe your staff — that's what makes someone drive out to Edgewood instead of stopping somewhere closer. We can set your site up so you can swap those photos out yourself whenever you update the menu or remodel. No calling someone every time you want to change a picture.

Simple, Honest Pricing for a Site That Works

Here's where most web designers make things weird. They want a call, then a proposal, then another call, and you still don't know what it costs. So we'll just tell you. A clean, single-page restaurant site with your menu, hours, location, and photos — starting at $300, done in a few days. If you need online ordering, a reservation system, a full photo gallery, and multiple pages, a full website starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. Hosting is $50 a month, and that covers keeping it running, secure, and updated.

For a small-town restaurant, that full site is usually the sweet spot. You get everything a customer needs to find you, see what you serve, and either call ahead or place an order. No extras you don't need. No monthly charges that keep climbing. And if down the road you want people searching "restaurants near Edgewood" or "best food in Van Zandt County" to find you on Google, we offer a website plus SEO package starting at $3,500 that handles all of that.

The warm version of the truth is this — your restaurant might be the best-kept secret on FM 859, but a website is how people who don't already know about you figure out you exist. It doesn't need to be complicated. It just needs to be done right.
