Restaurant Websites
Real Menus · Fast Load Times · Direct Ordering
Your restaurant deserves better than a slow template with a PDF menu. I build fast, mobile-first restaurant websites for Denver, Lakewood, and Front Range restaurants. Real menu pages, integration with your existing ordering system, and local SEO that helps you show up when hungry customers search nearby.
Get Started ↓Starting at $2,000 · 3-4 week turnaround · Currently booking for April
What You Get
Menu That Works on Every Phone
No more pinching and zooming on a PDF. A real menu page that loads instantly, looks great on any screen, and is easy to update when your specials change.
Online Ordering & Reservations
Integrate with Toast, Square, OpenTable, Resy, or whatever system you already use. Customers book or order right from your site without downloading an app.
Local SEO That Actually Works
Structured data, Google Business Profile integration, and location-specific content so you show up when someone in RiNo, LoHi, or Lakewood searches "restaurants near me."
Fast on Every Connection
Your site loads in under a second, even on a slow cell connection. No bloated template code, no third-party scripts slowing things down. Customers get your menu and hours immediately.
Why Your Restaurant Needs a Real Website
Your menu is not a PDF
PDF menus don't work on phones. They're slow to load, impossible to read without zooming, and invisible to Google. A real menu page is searchable, accessible, and looks good on every device.
Speed drives orders
A customer standing on Tennyson or South Pearl deciding where to eat will not wait 4 seconds for your Wix site to load. They'll go to the place next door whose site loaded in one. Every second counts.
You own your online presence
Yelp, DoorDash, and Google control how your restaurant looks on their platforms. Your website is the one place online where you control the story, the photos, and the first impression.
Stand out from the template crowd
Half the restaurants on South Broadway use the same Squarespace template. Customers notice when a site feels generic, even if they can't put their finger on why. A custom site says you care about the details.
What Your Site Can Include
Home
Your vibe, your best photos, hours, and location. The first impression that gets people through the door.
Menu
A real, searchable menu page. Not a PDF. Easy to read on any phone, easy for you to update when specials change.
About
Your story, your team, what makes your restaurant different. The stuff that turns a first visit into a regular.
Events & Catering
Private dining, catering menus, event booking. If you offer it, customers should be able to find it and inquire in two clicks.
Contact & Location
Address, phone, hours, embedded map, and parking info. Everything someone needs to show up. No hunting around.
Online Ordering
I embed your existing ordering system (Toast, Square, ChowNow) directly on your site. Customers order from you instead of paying DoorDash a 30% commission. No custom app needed.
How It Works
Tell me about your restaurant
We talk through what makes your place special: your concept, your menu, your neighborhood, and what you need from your website. I'll figure out the right scope.
I design and build it
I create the site and check in with you along the way. You'll see your menu, your photos, and your branding come together into something that actually represents your restaurant.
Launch and start getting customers
Your site goes live with your domain, your ordering system connected, and your Google Business Profile linked up. I make sure everything works on every device and walk you through how to update your menu.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a restaurant website cost?
Most restaurant sites I build run between $2,000 and $5,000. A straightforward site with a menu page, about, and contact is on the lower end. If you need online ordering integration, event booking, or a catering portal, it costs more. I give you a clear price upfront.
How long does it take to build?
Usually 3 to 4 weeks. The biggest variable is content. If you have your menu, photos, and copy ready, we can move faster. I can help with all of that as part of the project.
Can I update the menu myself?
Yes. I can set up a simple content management system so you can update menu items, prices, and specials without touching code. Or if you'd rather just email me the changes, I offer ongoing support for that too.
Will it work with my existing ordering system?
Yes. Most restaurant ordering platforms like Toast, Square Online, and ChowNow offer embeddable widgets or direct links. I put those right on your website so customers can order without leaving your site or downloading a separate app. You keep using the system you already know.
Why not just use Squarespace or Wix? They have restaurant templates.
They work if you don't mind slow load times, limited SEO, and a site that looks like every other restaurant on the block. Template sites typically load in 3-5 seconds. Mine load in under 1. For a customer standing outside deciding where to eat, that difference matters.
Do you help with Google Business Profile?
Absolutely. For restaurants, your Google Business Profile is often the first thing customers see. I'll help you optimize it, connect it to your site, and make sure your hours, menu link, and photos are all current.
What about DoorDash and Uber Eats?
Those platforms take 15-30% of every order. If you already use Toast, Square, or ChowNow for direct ordering, I embed that system right on your website. Customers order from you at your URL instead of through a third-party app, and you keep the margin. I'm not building a custom ordering app. I'm putting your existing one front and center on your site.
Can you add a reservation system?
Yes. I integrate with OpenTable, Resy, or simpler options like a direct booking form. Whatever your setup, the reservation button is right on your site where customers expect it.
