How to Create the Best Website Design for Your Restaurant
- You want your customers to order quickly before they’re struck with a case of ‘eating indecision’ and change their minds. To that end, your site should be simple, with five basic sections: a homepage, an about us page, your menu and a contact or online ordering page. Your navigation should be straightforward, and you should include an order button on every page if you offer online ordering.
- Lead every page with the most important information and details about ordering and your offerings.
- Include plenty of great-looking images of your food. Make sure food images are not dimly lit. Poorly lit photos can make clean restaurants look dingy, and make delicious meals appear less than appealing. When in doubt, you should always hire an experienced food photographer.
- Create a page that presents your menu and pricing all on one page so that all the information in one place. When website visitors don’t have to spend extra time searching through your site, they can focus on what they want to eat.
