Question 1

How much does a restaurant website cost?

Accepted Answer

Most restaurant websites with Ideavezy start around $1,500 for a clean, mobile-ready site with an easy-to-read menu and local SEO basics built in. Packages with online ordering, table reservations, multiple menu pages, and food photography galleries typically run $2,500–$4,500. The final number depends on whether you need ordering or reservations connected, how many menus and locations you run, and how often your menu changes. You get a fixed, itemized quote on your free audit call before any work starts — no hourly billing surprises and no monthly retainer traps. Many Houston-area restaurants start lean with a fast menu-and-reservations site, then add online ordering or a loyalty section once it's paying for itself. You own the site outright when we're done.

Question 2

How long does it take to build a restaurant website?

Accepted Answer

Most restaurant sites launch within 7–14 days of our first call. Because we specialize in service-business websites, we already know what a restaurant site needs — a mobile-first menu, real food photos, clear hours and location, and a 'Reserve' or 'Order' button above the fold — so we don't waste days figuring out the structure. The timeline depends mainly on how quickly you can send your menu, photos, and any ordering or reservation logins. Week one is design and content; week two is build, integration, testing, and launch. You get a check-in at each stage. Rush launches before a grand opening or a busy season are possible — tell us your deadline on the audit call and we'll build the schedule around it.

Question 3

Do you set up online ordering and reservations?

Accepted Answer

Yes — online ordering and table reservations are the features that turn a restaurant website into revenue, so they're built into every project that needs them. We integrate with Toast, Square, Clover, OpenTable, Resy, and most major platforms, and we can connect commission-free ordering so more of each order stays with you instead of a third-party app. We place the 'Order Online' and 'Reserve a Table' buttons where guests actually tap them: the top of the page and the mobile menu. If you're still taking orders only by phone or through DoorDash and Uber Eats, we'll help you weigh the options and connect the right setup cleanly. The goal is simple: let a hungry guest who found you on Google order or book in under a minute.

Question 4

Will my restaurant show up on Google after launch?

Accepted Answer

Every site we build includes local SEO setup designed to help you appear when someone nearby searches 'restaurants near me' or 'best [cuisine] in [your city].' That means location-specific pages, Google Business Profile optimization, LocalBusiness and Menu structured data, fast mobile load times, and a sitemap we submit to Google on launch day. We also make sure your name, address, phone number, and hours are consistent everywhere, since inconsistent info is one of the most common reasons restaurants rank poorly in the map pack and Google's local results. Most clients see movement in local rankings within 30–60 days, though competitive Houston-area markets can take longer. SEO is ongoing, but we hand you a site that's technically clean from day one — the foundation everything else builds on.

Question 5

I already have a restaurant website. Can you redesign it?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — most restaurants come to us with an existing Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress site that's slow, hard to update, or shows a PDF menu nobody can read on a phone. We start by auditing what you have: what's ranking, what's broken, and what's worth keeping. Then we migrate your content — menu, photos, reviews — cleanly into a faster custom site, and we preserve your existing URL structure so the Google rankings and traffic you've already earned don't vanish overnight. A careless redesign can wipe out years of search visibility, and fixing it afterward is expensive. If you have an established ordering link, reservation system, or phone number, we carry those over exactly so returning guests never hit a dead end. You end up with a site that looks current, loads fast, and is genuinely easy to update when your menu changes.

Question 6

Can you make my menu easy to update myself?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A menu that requires a developer every time you change a price or run a special is a menu that goes stale — so we build yours to be genuinely easy for you or your staff to edit. Depending on your setup, that can mean a simple menu section you update directly, or a clean integration with the ordering platform you already use so your menu and prices stay in sync automatically. We'll show you exactly how to make changes before launch, and it takes minutes, not a support ticket. We're also Houston-based and responsive if you'd rather we handle a seasonal menu overhaul for you. The point is that your website should keep up with your kitchen — accurate hours, current prices, and today's specials — without friction, because an out-of-date menu costs you both walk-ins and trust.
