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

Yes. If you already use a platform like Square Online, Toast, or ChowNow, we integrate it directly into the site so it looks and feels native. If you don't have one yet, we can recommend options and build around whichever you choose.

Will my menu be easy to update when prices or items change?

We build menus as editable content, not locked-in images. When you need to change a price or add a seasonal item, it's a simple update — not a redesign. We can handle changes for you or set it up so you can do it yourself.

How do you handle food photography for the site?

We don't do photography ourselves, but we can build the site around whatever photos you have and design the gallery to make them look their best. If you need a photographer, we can point you toward people who do that work in East Texas.

What happens to my Google ranking when you rebuild the site?

We set up proper redirects so you don't lose any existing search authority. The new site's SEO structure will actually be better than what you have now, so most folks see their rankings improve after the rebuild, not drop.

Do I need to take my current site down while you build the new one?

No. We build the new site separately and only switch it over when everything's ready. Your current site stays live the entire time. The swap takes minutes.

Your Website Is a Host That Won't Seat Anyone

Think about what happens when someone walks into your restaurant. They get greeted. They see the space. They sit down, look at a menu, and decide what they want. The whole thing flows.

Your website should do the same thing. But if it was built a few years ago, it's probably doing the opposite. The menu is buried or unreadable. The hours might be wrong. The photos — if there are any — don't look like your food. And on a phone? Forget it. Half the text is cut off and nothing loads right.

Folks in Athens aren't going to fight your website. They'll just go somewhere else. And you won't even know it happened. There's no angry review, no complaint. Just silence. That's the worst part — you can't fix what you can't see.

What a Rebuilt Site Actually Looks Like

We tear the old thing down and start over. Mobile-first, because that's how people are finding you — standing in a parking lot, riding in the car, sitting on the couch deciding where to go tonight.

Your hours, address, and phone number go right where people expect them. Your menu gets built into the page itself — not a PDF, not an image of a PDF, not a link to a third-party app that takes ten seconds to load. Actual text on the page that Google can read and customers can scroll through without pinching and zooming.

We shoot for fast load times and clean SEO structure so you actually show up when someone searches "restaurants in Athens TX." And if you're using an online ordering system or a reservation platform, we tie that in so it feels like part of your site — not an afterthought bolted on.

Real Talk About the Money

You're running a restaurant. Margins are thin. So here's the straight version.

A full website redesign starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. That gets you a site you own — the actual code, not a subscription you're renting. No platform lock-in. No monthly fee just to keep your own site alive.

Hosting runs $50 a month. If you want the site built with proper SEO structure from day one so you start climbing in local search results, that package starts at $3,500.

And a nice food photo gallery? A map that actually works? Integration with your ordering system? All included. We're not charging extra for the stuff that should be standard.

You own everything when it's done. That matters.
