Five pages, designed and built by us, at no charge: home, about, a real menu page, private events and catering, and contact. Ready in one business day.
After that, enjoy fast and unlimited site updates for $125/month. All published within 24 to 48 hours. No change fees.
No setup fee, no design fee, no per-change fee.
04 · Why free
Restaurant websites should reflect the wonderful food and space that it offers. Hosting is unavoidable and good support is hard to find, so we've bundled the two. The website is free and the monthly fee covers hosting and unlimited updates.
We make our living on any work that might come after: photography, menus, and campaigns.
02 · What's included
Five pages, built properly
Your menu is the page people actually came for. Ours is typed out on the page in text, readable on a phone, searchable on Google, no pinch and zoom, no download. Everything else is built to match: mobile first, fast, your hours and address where people look for them.
