Restaurant Website Design That Sells

A restaurant website must convert lookers into bookers!

Your website is the central hub of all your internet marketing activity. It must be focused on maximising the conversion of visitors into bookings and be as visible as possible to search engines. How the site is designed, structured, written and built all have a major impact on the search engine optimisation and conversion rate. All of our restaurant website designs are developed to enhance SEO and maximise the conversion rate.

Other internet marketing tools such as Google Adwords, Email or Social Media will drive visitors to your website. Once they arrive you can entice them with "persuasion assets" to make a booking and to sign up to your email newsletters. Design for usability is critical in providing your potential customers with the information they need in a clear and organised manner, encouraging them to book along the way.

Modern websites should also fully integrate with your social media marketing and encourage interaction with your brand. Video on your restaurant website is also an ideal technique for engaging customers. An engaged customer is likely to be a loyal customer!

Finally, in today's digital mobile society, a mobile optimised version of your website is a valuable enhancement. It is estimated that by 2015 more people will be browsing the internet using a mobile device than a desktop PC so it's a good idea to develop one now.

A mobile version of your website should be:

  • Faster
  • Efficient & Simple
  • Short & Concise
  • Using scaled down graphics
  • One-click map
  • One-click call
  • Enhancing mobile and local SEO

We can produce mobile versions of your website that will be perfectly optimised to capture the mobile market.
