Can I update my own menu when prices change?

Yes. We can set it up so you can make simple updates yourself — prices, specials, seasonal items. If you'd rather just text or email us the changes, we can handle that too. Either way, your menu stays current.

Do you build online ordering into the site?

We integrate with whatever ordering platform you're already using or want to use — Square, Toast, ChowNow, and others. We don't build a custom ordering system from scratch because the existing ones handle payments and logistics better than anything we'd cook up. Your customers get a smooth experience and you get orders.

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

We can work with what you've got. A few decent phone photos in good lighting go further than you'd think. If you want professional shots, we can point you toward a photographer, but don't let that hold up the whole project. Get the site live first, upgrade the photos later.

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

A well-built site with the right local info helps, but ranking on Google takes more than just having a website. If search visibility is a priority, our Website+SEO package starting at $3,500 includes the optimization work that actually moves the needle on local searches.

How long before the site is live?

A simple site can be done in a few days. A full restaurant website with ordering and galleries typically takes about a week. We don't drag things out, but we also don't rush past the details that matter — like making sure your menu is accurate and your site works on every phone and browser people actually use.

We can't make your food taste better or fix a staffing problem. What we can do is build a website that gets more people through your door — one that loads fast, shows your menu clearly, and doesn't make someone drive to Mineola instead because they couldn't find your hours.

Your Website Shouldn't Be Working Against You

Running a restaurant in Alba means you're already doing a lot with a little. Small town, tight margins, regulars who keep you going. But here's what's frustrating — when somebody new passes through on 69 or searches for a place to eat near Lake Fork, your website is probably the first thing they see. And if it's slow, confusing, or just plain ugly, they move on. They don't give you a second chance. They pick somebody else.

That's not your fault. Most restaurant websites are bad because the people who built them didn't think about what a hungry person actually needs. They buried the menu in a PDF that takes forever to load on a phone. They put the address at the bottom of the page. They made the hours hard to find or, worse, outdated. None of that helps you.

We build restaurant sites that put the stuff people care about — menu, hours, phone number, location — right where they expect it. No hunting. No pinching and zooming on some tiny scanned menu. Just a clean site that answers the three questions every potential customer has: what do you serve, when are you open, and how do I get there.

What a Good Restaurant Website Actually Does

A menu that's readable on a phone screen without downloading anything. That alone puts you ahead of most restaurants in Wood County. We build your menu right into the page — formatted, organized, easy to scan. When you change a price or add a special, it gets updated. No more crossed-out numbers on a PDF from two years ago.

Photos matter too. People eat with their eyes first, and a few good shots of your plates and your dining room go a long way. We'll set up a gallery that loads quick and actually looks right on every screen size.

And if you want online ordering or reservations, we can tie that in. Whether you're using Square, Toast, or something else, we'll connect it so people can order right from your site. For a small restaurant in Alba, that kind of thing can mean the difference between someone placing an order and someone just thinking about it.

So What Does This Cost and How Long Does It Take

Fair question. A simple site with your menu, hours, location, and photos — starting at $300, done in a few days. If you want online ordering integration, a bigger photo gallery, and more pages, a full website starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. Hosting runs $50 a month.

Do you need the bigger package? Depends on what you're trying to do. If you just need a clean page that shows up when people Google restaurants in Alba, the simple site works. If you want to take orders online or you've got catering, events, multiple locations — the full build makes more sense.

We're not going to talk you into something you don't need. A $300 site that actually works is better than a $5,000 site that sits there doing nothing. And if you grow past it, we can always build on it later.
