Can I update my menu myself after the site is built?

Yes. We build sites so you can make basic updates — menu items, prices, specials — without needing to contact us. If you'd rather have us handle it, that's fine too. Hosting includes support.

Do you set up online ordering?

We integrate with the ordering system you already use or help you pick one that fits. Square Online, Toast, ChowNow — whatever makes sense for your restaurant. We don't build a custom ordering system from scratch because the existing tools work well and your staff already knows them.

What if I only have phone photos of my food?

Phone photos taken in decent light are better than no photos. We can work with what you have and make them look good on the site. If you want professional shots down the road, we can swap them in easily.

How long before the site is live?

A simple site can be done in a few days. A full restaurant site with menus, galleries, and ordering integration typically takes about a week. We don't drag things out, but we also don't rush past the details.

Will my site show up on Google Maps and local searches?

A well-built website helps, but local search visibility also depends on your Google Business Profile and basic SEO. Our $3,500 website and SEO package covers all of that. The $300 and $1,500 options focus on the site itself.

Your Menu Shouldn't Be a PDF

A hungry person on their phone isn't going to pinch-zoom through a scanned PDF of your lunch specials. They're going to leave and pick somewhere else. That's the reality for a lot of restaurant websites right now — the food is great, but the site makes it harder to find than it should be.

What a Restaurant Website Actually Needs

People visiting a restaurant site want three things fast: what you serve, when you're open, and how to get there. Everything else is secondary.

Your menu needs to be on the page — readable text, not a download. Hours and your address should be visible the second the site loads, not tucked into a footer. A click-to-call phone number matters more than you'd think, because plenty of folks still call to ask questions or place an order. And if you've got a dining room worth showing off, good photos of the space and the food go a long way. Cherokee County has people driving in for the railroad, stopping through on weekends, looking for somewhere to eat. They're deciding based on what they see online.

If you need online ordering or reservations, we can tie that in too. Integration with systems like Square, Toast, or OpenTable — whatever fits your setup. No reason to rebuild what already works. We just make sure it's connected and easy to find on your site.

How This Works and What It Costs

If you've got a straightforward menu and just need a clean site with your basics — hours, location, phone, menu — a simple site starts at $300 and takes a few days. That's real. No catch.

Most restaurants end up in the full website range, starting at $1,500, which takes about a week. That gets you a proper site with photo galleries, menu pages, online ordering integration, and a design that actually looks like your place — not a generic template. If you also want to show up when someone Googles "restaurants in Rusk TX" or "food near Texas State Railroad," our website and SEO package starts at $3,500 and takes one to two weeks.

Hosting runs $50 a month. That covers keeping the site live, fast, and updated when you change your hours for the holidays or add a seasonal menu. You won't need to call a developer every time you want to swap out a dish.

We're based in Tyler, about 40 minutes from Rusk. Close enough to meet in person if that matters to you, and it usually does when you're trusting someone with how your business looks online. We know East Texas. We know what works here. And we're not going to overcomplicate something that should be simple — you need a website that gets people through your door.
