Can you add online ordering to my restaurant's website?

Yes. If you already use a platform like Square Online, Toast, or ChowNow, we'll integrate it directly into your site so customers can order without leaving the page. If you don't have one yet, we can help you pick the right fit and set it up.

How do you handle the menu — can I update it myself?

Your menu gets built as actual text on the site, not a PDF. We can set it up so you're able to make changes yourself whenever prices or specials change. Or you can just email us the updates and we'll handle it. Either way works.

I already have a Facebook page — do I really need a website?

Facebook's great for regulars, but it's terrible for search. When someone types "restaurants in Wills Point" into Google, Facebook pages get buried. A real website with your menu and location info is what actually shows up. They work together, but one doesn't replace the other.

What if I just need a basic page for now and want to add more later?

That's exactly what the $300 simple site is for. We'll get your menu, hours, location, and phone number up on a clean single page. When you're ready to expand — add photos, online ordering, multiple pages — we build onto what's already there.

How long does it take to get the site live?

A simple one-page site takes a few days. A full custom restaurant website is usually about a week. If you're adding SEO work on top of that, figure one to two weeks total. We don't drag things out — once we have your content, we move fast.

You probably already tried the DIY route. Maybe a website builder, maybe a friend who "knows computers." And now you've got something that sort of works but doesn't really do anything for your restaurant. Let's talk about what actually moves the needle.

You've Been Down This Road Before

Somebody told you to get a website, so you did. You picked a template, uploaded your menu as a PDF, dropped in your phone number, and called it done. Or maybe you paid someone a few hundred bucks and got back something that looks like it was built for a dentist's office — not a restaurant in Wills Point.

And the thing is, it probably hasn't hurt you enough to feel urgent. People still find you on Facebook. Regulars still show up. But every once in a while you wonder how many folks drove through town, searched for somewhere to eat, and picked the place with the better-looking website. That's the part you never get to see.

A restaurant website has one job — get someone in the door or get them to place an order. If yours isn't doing that, it's just sitting there taking up space on the internet. And you're still paying for hosting either way.

Three Things Your Restaurant Website Actually Needs

1. **Your menu, readable on a phone.** Not a PDF. Not a scan of your paper menu. Actual text on the page that someone can read without pinching and zooming in a parking lot on Highway 80. If they can't read it, they're going somewhere else.

2. **Hours, location, and a phone number — no hunting required.** Someone searching for food in Wills Point is hungry right now. They don't want to scroll through three pages to figure out if you're open. This stuff goes at the top. Every page.

3. **Online ordering or reservations that actually work.** If you use a service like Square, Toast, or ChowNow, it should tie right into your site. One tap from the menu to the order. No friction, no confusion. If you don't do online ordering yet, that's fine — but a reservation link or a click-to-call button still matters.

That's the foundation. Everything else — food photos, your story, a gallery of the dining room — builds on top of it. But without those three, the rest doesn't matter much.

What This Looks Like From Our End

A full restaurant website runs $1,500 starting out, and we can usually have it done in about a week. That gets you a custom design — not a template with your logo swapped in — plus mobile-friendly layout, your menu built as real web content, and whatever ordering or reservation integration you need.

If you also want to show up when people search "restaurants near Wills Point" or "best food in Van Zandt County," that's where the Website+SEO package comes in at $3,500. That includes the site build plus the groundwork to get you ranking in local search results. Takes one to two weeks.

Hosting runs $50 a month. That covers maintenance, security updates, and keeping everything running fast. You own your site — we just keep the lights on.

And if all you need right now is a simple one-pager with your menu, hours, and contact info, we can do that for $300 in a few days. Good starting point if you're just getting off the ground or replacing something that's embarrassing you.
