Can you integrate my online ordering system into the new site?

Yes. If you're using Toast, Square, ChowNow, or another online ordering platform, we can integrate it directly into the redesigned site. It'll feel like part of your website instead of a random redirect to some third-party page.

How do you handle the menu — do I need to send you a PDF?

No PDFs. We build your menu as actual text on the page so it's readable on any screen size, loads instantly, and is indexable by search engines. You send us the items and prices, and we format everything properly. When you need to update it, we can set that up so it's simple to change.

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

We set up proper redirects so you don't lose any existing search ranking. In most cases, a well-built redesign actually improves your position over time because the new site loads faster, works on mobile, and has correct SEO structure that your old site probably didn't.

Do I need professional food photography first?

It helps, but it's not a requirement to get started. Good phone photos taken in decent lighting can work well. If you want to invest in professional photography down the line, the site is built to showcase those images beautifully when you're ready.

Will the site show my hours and location on Google properly?

We set up structured data markup so Google can pull your hours, address, and phone number directly into search results and map listings. That means someone searching for you sees the right info before they even click through to your site.

Kilgore has genuinely good food — places that have been feeding Rusk County for years, spots near the college keeping students happy, newer joints finding their groove. But the websites representing these restaurants? Almost universally terrible. And it's costing real tables.

Your Menu Shouldn't Require a Pinch-and-Zoom Degree

Here's what's frustrating. A restaurant lives and dies by whether people can answer three questions fast: What do you serve, when are you open, and how do I get there. That's it. And somehow, the majority of restaurant websites make all three of those things harder than they need to be.

Menus uploaded as blurry PDFs that won't load on a phone. Hours listed on some buried "About" page — if they're listed at all. Phone numbers that aren't even tappable. Someone built these sites, called it done, and moved on. Meanwhile, a hungry Kilgore College student is trying to figure out your lunch specials on their phone between classes, and they give up after ten seconds of squinting. They go somewhere else. Not because your food is worse, but because the other place made it easier.

A redesign fixes this in a way that actually respects how people use restaurant websites in 2026. Your menu is real text on the page — readable, searchable, loads instantly. Your hours, address, and phone number are right there the moment someone lands on the site. Photos of your dining room and your actual plates do the selling for you. And if you've got online ordering through a service like Toast or Square, or you want reservation booking, that gets wired in properly instead of tacked on as an afterthought. We build the site around how your customers actually behave, not around what looked fine on a desktop monitor four years ago.

Own Your Site Instead of Fighting With It

A lot of restaurant owners around Kilgore ended up on website builders because someone said it'd be easy. And maybe it was — until you tried to change the font on your menu page and it broke your header image. Or you wanted to add a catering section and realized the template doesn't support it. Or you noticed your site takes forever to load because the platform is serving ads and tracking scripts alongside your brisket photos.

That's the part that should make you mad. You're paying monthly for a platform that limits what you can do with your own business's website. You can't move it. You can't customize it beyond what the template allows. You don't own any of it.

When we rebuild your site, you own the code. It's yours. It's built mobile-first because that's how the vast majority of your visitors are finding you — on their phones, usually hungry, usually in a hurry. It loads fast because there's no bloated platform underneath it. The SEO structure is built correctly so when someone searches "restaurants near Kilgore" or "best lunch in Kilgore TX," you've actually got a shot at showing up. A full website redesign starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. If you want the SEO groundwork done right from day one, the Website+SEO package starts at $3,500. Hosting runs $50 a month — and that's for a site you actually control, not a subscription to someone else's system.
