Can you set up online ordering on my restaurant website?

Yes. If you're already using a platform like Square, Toast, or ChowNow, we integrate it directly into your site so customers can order without leaving the page. If you're not on a platform yet, we can talk through what makes sense for your setup.

How do I update my menu when it changes?

We build menus as actual page content, not uploaded files. When your menu changes, you can either update it yourself through a simple editor or send us the changes and we'll handle it. Seasonal specials, price adjustments, new items — shouldn't take more than a few minutes either way.

Do I really need a website if I already have a Facebook page?

Facebook controls what people see and when they see it. Your posts don't reach everyone who follows you — not even close. A website is yours. It shows up in search results, it displays your info the way you want it displayed, and it doesn't bury your hours under a pile of old check-ins and reviews.

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

Phone photos work fine if the lighting is decent. We can guide you on what shots to grab. A few good pictures of your best dishes and your dining space go a long way. You don't need a professional photographer to make a restaurant site look good.

Will my site show up when people search for restaurants near Hideaway?

The site itself will be built so search engines can read it properly — fast load times, clean structure, the right location info in the right places. If you want to actively rank higher and show up in more searches, that's where our SEO work comes in, starting at $750 a month.

You Probably Already Tried This Once

Somewhere along the way, somebody convinced you that a Facebook page was good enough. Or you paid a few hundred bucks for a site that looked fine in 2019 and hasn't been touched since. Maybe you built something yourself on one of those drag-and-drop platforms during a slow Tuesday afternoon, got frustrated with the font options, and just published whatever you had.

None of that is unusual. Running a restaurant in Hideaway means you're already juggling food costs, staffing, and keeping regulars happy — the website falls to the bottom of the list every single time. And the result is a site where your hours are wrong, your menu is a downloadable file nobody opens on their phone, and your contact info takes three taps to find.

The frustrating part is that people around Hideaway Lake and the surrounding communities are searching for places to eat. They find your name, tap the link, and what they see either gets them in the door or sends them somewhere else. That decision happens fast.

What a Restaurant Website Actually Needs to Do

1. **Put the basics where people look first.** Hours, address, phone number. Not tucked into a footer or hidden on an "About" page. Right there, immediately, no scrolling required. If someone's driving down FM 848 trying to figure out if you're still open, they need an answer in two seconds.

2. **Make the menu readable on a phone.** Not a PDF. Not a scanned printout. Actual text on the page that loads instantly and doesn't require pinching and zooming. People browse menus on their phones while they're deciding where to go — if yours is hard to read, they'll pick the place that isn't.

3. **Show the food and the space.** Good photos of your dishes and your dining room do more convincing than any paragraph of copy ever will. A simple gallery that loads quickly and looks sharp on every screen size. That's it.

4. **Connect to ordering or reservations if you use them.** If you're on a platform for online orders or table bookings, your website should tie into that directly. One tap, not a scavenger hunt.

How This Works on Our End

A simple site with your menu, hours, photos, and contact info starts at $300 and takes a few days. If you want something more built out — online ordering integration, a reservation system, maybe a catering page or event space section — a full website starts at $1,500 and takes about a week.

We also handle hosting for $50 a month, which keeps things running, updated, and not randomly breaking on a Friday night when you're slammed. And if you want folks beyond the Hideaway Lake community finding you when they search for places to eat near Tyler, we do SEO and ads management starting at $750 a month.

You tell us what you need. We build it. No twelve-week timeline, no jargon-filled proposals, no endless revision loops where nothing actually gets done.
