Restaurant web design in Prestwich
I build websites for cafes and restaurants. I live in Prestwich, so if you're round here we can meet at yours, mine, or a local cafe to talk it through - and obviously, eating in your place at some point as part of the work is fine too if that suits.
The shape of the sites I build is on my main restaurant web design page - the short version is that the menu is a real web page rather than a PDF, the opening hours sit in the footer of every page, and you (or whoever you trust on the team) can edit any of it through a simple browser interface without waiting on me.
Why the no-PDFs thing matters
A surprising number of restaurant websites bury the menu in a PDF download. The reason that's bad is partly that PDFs are awkward to open on a phone (which is where most people are looking when they're deciding where to eat), and partly that Google can't really read them properly, so your menu items don't help you rank for searches like "vegan curry near me" or "Sunday roast Prestwich". A menu that's a normal web page fixes both at once.
The same is true for the address, opening hours and phone number - all the things people actually need before they head over to you. Those should be on every page, visible without scrolling and without clicking.
A few I've built locally
This & That Cafe is the long-running curry cafe in town that's been doing rice and three for decades. I've hosted their site for nearly ten years and it gets hundreds of visitors a day from Google, with the menu front and centre.
Sally's Bakes is a vegan bakery in Bury with full ingredient lists and allergen info on every product, ranking #1 on Google for "vegan bakery Bury" and a fair few other searches.
Avo Coffee is a Haslingden cafe built on my Chobble Template, with instant page loads and a clear menu layout the owner edits themselves.
How the editing works
You bookmark an edit link, log in with your email, change whatever needs changing in a normal-looking form, and click save. A minute later the change is live on the site. The tool behind it is called PagesCMS, and everything's stored as plain text under the hood, so I can roll back any mistake if you ever need me to.
Pricing
A restaurant site starts at £600, or £300 if you run a vegan restaurant. That covers a mobile-first design built on the Chobble Template, the menu system, the editing setup, a contact form with spam protection, Google Maps integration, the initial SEO setup, and a training session.
Hosting is £10/month for a simple site, or £40/month with ongoing support and personal help working through my free marketing guides and videos.
And the food angle - I'm genuinely happy to knock the price down in exchange for meals at your place, especially if you're vegan or veggie. Mention it when you get in touch and we can have a chat about what works.
Why work with a local
Most "restaurant web design" outfits are remote, and the platforms like Wix and Squarespace are huge global companies with no skin in the game when your site goes down on a Saturday night. I'm a 20-minute walk away. I'll meet you in person to figure out what you actually need, sit with you while you do your first round of menu edits, and I'm reachable on WhatsApp if something goes wrong. Whether that matters to you depends on how much hand-holding you want; for some people it makes no difference at all and that's fine too.
