Sound Familiar?

Most restaurant websites lose
diners every day.

If any of these sound like your situation, you're leaving money on the table every single day.

"Nobody can find me on Google"

When someone searches "restaurants near me" or "best restaurant [town]" in your area, your competitors show up and you don't. Without proper local SEO, you're invisible to the diners who need you most.

"My site doesn't work on phones"

Over 60% of your potential diners are searching on their phone. If your site is broken on mobile, they'll go to the next result — and that reservation is gone.

"People visit but never book"

Your site gets traffic but you're not getting enquiries. There's no clear call-to-action, no easy way to book a table, and no reason for someone to choose you over the competition.

"I don't have time for this"

You're busy running your restaurant. You don't have time to learn WordPress, mess with a website builder, or chase a freelancer who ghosted you. You just need it done properly.

What You Get

What's included in your
restaurant website design.

Every feature is tailored to how restaurants win diners online.

Local SEO for Restaurants

Optimised for searches like "restaurants near me", "best restaurant [town]", and "Italian restaurant [area]". We build your site to rank where your diners are searching.

Online Reservation System

Let diners book tables directly from your website, 24/7. Integrate with your existing system or add a new one. Reduce phone calls and fill tables even when you're mid-service.

Lightning-Fast Performance

97+ Google PageSpeed score and sub-1.5-second load times. A fast site ranks higher, converts better, and doesn't lose impatient visitors to a loading spinner.

FAQ

Restaurant website
frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Our restaurant websites start from £800 for a professional single-page site, £1,500 for a multi-page site with online reservations, menu pages, and £2,500+ for a fully bespoke build with online ordering and delivery integrations. All plans include a £40/month care plan covering hosting, security, backups, and ongoing support.

Most restaurant websites are designed, built, and live within 14 days of design approval. The design phase typically takes 3–5 days, and development takes another 7–10 days.

Every Velo restaurant website is built with on-page SEO as standard. For Professional and Premium plans, we also create dedicated service area pages targeting local searches and integrate with Google Business Profile.

We handle as much as possible. If you have photos of your your food, your restaurant interior, or your team, that's ideal. If not, we can source professional imagery. We can write the copy for you based on a short conversation about your business.

No problem. We build your new site independently and only switch it over once you're completely happy. Your existing site stays live until the new one is ready.

Yes. Once the project is paid in full, you own the website design and all custom content. If you ever decide to leave the care plan, we'll help you migrate your site to your own hosting.

Why every restaurant needs a professional website in 2026

Diners searching for somewhere to eat check Google first. They're looking at menus, reading reviews, and checking if they can book online. If your restaurant doesn't have a professional website with an easy reservation system, you're losing covers to competitors who do.

A professional restaurant website does more than just exist on the internet. It acts as a 24/7 salesperson for your restaurant, building trust with potential diners before they ever pick up the phone.

What makes a great restaurant website

A great restaurant website needs to do three things: rank in local search results, build immediate trust through stunning food photography, genuine Google reviews, and a sense of your restaurant's atmosphere, and make it effortless for diners to book a table.

Local SEO for restaurants

When someone searches for "restaurants near me" or "best restaurant in [town]", Google decides which websites to show based on page speed, mobile responsiveness, relevant content, and Google Business Profile integration. Every Velo restaurant website is built with these ranking factors in mind from the ground up.

Building trust with diners

diners need to trust you. Your website needs to communicate professionalism within seconds — Menu highlights, Google reviews integration, atmosphere photography, and reservation confirmations, real photos, and clear descriptions of what you offer.

Making it easy to get in touch

The single most important function of your restaurant website is converting visitors into enquiries. Every page should have a clear call to action, a simple way to get in touch, and a visible phone number with click-to-call functionality. A diner looking for a meal out shouldn't have to work to find how to reach you — it should be immediately obvious, especially on mobile where over 60% of searches happen.

Common restaurant website mistakes to avoid

We've seen hundreds of restaurant websites, and the same problems appear again and again. Understanding these mistakes is the first step to making sure your website doesn't fall into the same traps.

  • Using a generic DIY builder: Platforms like Wix and Squarespace create bloated, slow websites that score poorly on Google PageSpeed. They might look acceptable on desktop, but the code they generate is often three to four times heavier than a custom-built site, directly hurting your search rankings.
  • Ignoring mobile users: If your website isn't built mobile-first, you're alienating the majority of your potential customers. A responsive design that adapts to every screen size isn't optional — it's essential.
  • No local focus: A restaurant website that doesn't mention the specific towns and areas you cover is invisible to local searches. Without dedicated service area pages and locally optimised content, Google has no reason to show your site to nearby customers.
  • Missing trust signals: No Gas Safe badge, no customer reviews, no photos of real work. These are the elements that make a homeowner confident enough to call. Without them, your website is just another anonymous page on the internet.
  • No clear call to action: If a visitor has to search for your phone number or figure out how to request a quote, you've already lost them. Every page should guide the visitor toward one clear action: getting in touch with you.

Restaurant website design that generates enquiries

At Velo, we build restaurant websites that work. Every design decision is focused on generating more enquiries for your restaurant. We understand your industry and we know that a fast, locally optimised website is the most cost-effective marketing investment a restaurant can make.
