Glenwood came to us on an outdated Squarespace site that wasn’t doing their product justice. We built a custom WooCommerce platform with a clean, visual-first design that puts the food front and center.
The layout separates retail and wholesale buying paths so each customer type gets a tailored experience. We also introduced a subscription model for repeat orders, which is already driving recurring revenue.
On the backend, we set up automated invoicing, shipment tracking and Stripe payment integration to keep fulfillment running.
High-Converting Web Design For Jeptha Creed Distillery
We collaborated with PaPaw’s Ridge, a new bourbon brand introduced by the women-owned Jeptha Creed Distillery, known for its on-site, Kentucky-grown distilled bourbons.
Our objective was to design a landing page that captures the heartwarming story behind the name and embodies the “feel good,” family-owned character of the brand.
We developed a comprehensive digital strategy, rebuilt the site architecture and designed a modern interface that solidified the brand’s positioning while creating clear user journeys.
We partner with restaurants of all sizes, offering all cuisines, from fast food restaurants to fine dining establishments.

Restaurant Website Design FAQs
Why invest in a custom restaurant website design?
Investing in a custom restaurant website design allows you to control the look and feel of your website, from the front-end to an intuitive CMS tailored to your needs.
You also get to own a unique, scalable and optimized site that improves visibility for your brand and engages your target audience.
Finally, you can highlight your brand image through carefully-selected typography, a custom color palette and high-quality imagery that showcases your menu items.
How long does custom restaurant website development take on average?
The custom restaurant web development process can take anywhere from two months to over six months.
For an easy-to-find menu to a delectable image gallery, clear contact details and a built-in form for reservations, the time it takes to fully develop your restaurant website depends on your exact needs and the complexity of your website.
For on-site food ordering and real-time order tracking, advanced marketing integrations and other functionalities, your website is likely to take close to, if not longer than, six months to develop.
How much does a restaurant website design cost?
It depends entirely on the scope of the project. Multi-location sites, online ordering, loyalty integrations, eCommerce for merch or gift cards and custom animation push costs higher.
Cost is driven by three things: the number of unique page templates, the integrations you need and how much content and photography has to be created from scratch. We scope every project individually and give you a proposal before any work starts.
What features should every restaurant website have?
A menu that loads fast and isn’t a PDF, click-to-call and directions on mobile, hours that are easy to find, high-quality food photography and one obvious next step — book, order or visit.
Beyond the basics, the features worth adding depend on your model. Fine dining benefits from reservation integration and private events pages. Fast casual benefits from online ordering and location finders. Anything with catering needs a lead form built for group inquiries, not a generic contact page.
Can you integrate my online ordering and reservation systems?
Yes. We work with the platforms restaurants already use — Toast, Square, Olo, ChowNow, OpenTable, Resy, Tock, SevenRooms — and integrate them so the booking or ordering flow feels like part of your site instead of a jarring handoff to a third party.
If you’re on a legacy system or considering a switch, we’ll advise on what fits your volume, commission structure and reporting needs before we build.
Which platform is best for a restaurant website?
For most restaurants, WordPress gives the best balance of design flexibility, easy menu updates and SEO control. If you’re selling merchandise, sauces, gift cards or subscriptions at volume, Shopify or WooCommerce makes more sense.
Template builders like Squarespace and Wix work early on but tend to cap out as soon as you need custom functionality, multiple locations or serious SEO. We recommend the platform based on where your business is heading, not just where it is today. Explore our WordPress and Shopify web design services.
Will I be able to update my menu and prices myself?
Yes, if you want to. We build your CMS around the way restaurants actually operate, so swapping a dish, changing a price, adding a special or updating hours takes a couple of minutes and no developer.
Every project includes CMS training for your team and documentation you can hand to whoever manages the site next.
How do you help my restaurant show up in local search?
Local visibility comes from a mix of on-site and off-site work: location pages built around how people search, structured data for menus, hours and reviews, fast mobile performance, and a properly optimized Google Business Profile with consistent listings across directories.
Do I still need a website if I’m on DoorDash, Uber Eats and Instagram?
Yes. Delivery apps take a significant cut of every order and own the customer relationship. Social platforms control your reach and can change the rules overnight. Your website is the one channel where you keep the margin, the data and the brand story.
It’s also where people go to check before they commit — hours, menu, atmosphere, whether it suits a birthday dinner. Third-party listings rarely answer those questions well.
How do you design restaurant websites for mobile?
Mobile first, because that’s where most restaurant traffic comes from. Someone standing on a sidewalk deciding where to eat needs the menu, hours, phone number and directions within a tap or two.
That means compressed imagery that still looks appetizing, sticky calls-to-action, thumb-friendly navigation and page speeds that hold up on a weak signal, not just on office WiFi.
Can you build a website for a multi-location restaurant or franchise?
Yes. We build location architecture that scales — individual location pages with their own menus, hours, photos and schema, plus a central system so your team can add a new location without rebuilding anything.
For franchise groups, we can also handle brand consistency controls, franchisee-level permissions and separate recruitment or franchising funnels.
How do I know if my restaurant website needs a redesign?
The usual signals: it’s slow on mobile, your menu is a PDF, you can’t update anything without help, reservations or orders have dropped, the design no longer matches the room, or you’ve added locations and services the site was never built to handle.
A quick test — open it on your phone and see how long it takes to find the menu and book a table. If it takes more than a few seconds, you’re losing covers. Explore our website redesign services.
