Question 1

How much does a website for a restaurant business cost?

Accepted Answer

For most restaurant businesses, a properly built site lands between £800 and £3,500 depending on scope. Smaller one-page sites for sole traders cost less; bigger multi-page sites with booking or e-commerce cost more. Fixed price agreed upfront, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

Question 2

Will my site rank for "restaurant near me" searches?

Accepted Answer

That’s the whole point. Every site I build for a restaurant includes proper local SEO, schema markup, fast load speeds, and the local keywords your customers actually type. Most local terms ("restaurant Leigh", "restaurant Bolton", "restaurant Wigan") are very winnable within 2 to 4 months of going live.

Question 3

Do you integrate with Deliveroo / Uber Eats / Just Eat?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I can link to your listings on any delivery platform, and most clients want a clear "order on Deliveroo / Uber Eats" call-to-action prominent on the site. If you want to take orders directly through your own site and skip the platform commission, I can build that too, it’s a bigger project but pays back fast.

Question 4

How long does a restaurant website take to build?

Accepted Answer

Usually 1 to 3 weeks from the first call to live site. Simple one-page builds can ship inside a week. I’ll set a clear timeline at the start and keep you in the loop as it progresses, no waiting weeks in silence.

Question 5

Can I just use Wix or Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

You can, but you’ll struggle to rank against restaurants with custom-built sites. Wix templates load slowly, look generic, and don’t compete well for local searches. For a hobby site it’s fine. For a real restaurant business trying to pull in calls, a custom build pays for itself faster than people expect.
