Website Redesign for restaurants

A website redesign rebuilds an existing site around what customers need now, while protecting the search visibility and enquiries the old site already earns. For restaurants, that means getting current menus with dietary notes, opening hours and location and bookings and functions right, because locals and visitors deciding where to eat want to book a table or order without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Locals and visitors deciding where to eat want to book a table or order.

A restaurant website usually has to handle menus that read well on a phone, table bookings without a phone call, pickup or delivery orders from your own site and gift vouchers.

Menus that read well on a phone: diners check the menu before they choose, and a mobile page is easier to read than a PDF.

Table bookings without a phone call: many diners decide outside opening hours, when nobody can answer the phone.

Pickup or delivery orders from your own site: orders placed on your site come to you directly rather than through a third-party app.

Gift vouchers: vouchers bring in revenue before the visit and suit gift seasons.

Frequently asked questions

What does Website Redesign involve for a restaurant?

A website redesign rebuilds an existing site around what customers need now, while protecting the search visibility and enquiries the old site already earns. For a restaurant, the work centres on current menus with dietary notes, opening hours and location and bookings and functions.

Will a redesign hurt our Google rankings?

It can if old URLs are not redirected. Google's site move guidance is to map old URLs to new ones and use permanent redirects, so a redirect plan is a standard part of the redesign.[1]

Can we keep our current platform?

Yes, if it still suits you. A redesign can keep the platform or move to a new one; we recommend based on how you need to manage the site.
