Restaurant WebsiteDesign Calgary
Make hungry customers take action. Beautiful websites with online menus, reservations, and ordering that fill your tables and drive sales.
Your Website Should Make People Hungry
When someone Googles 'best pizza Calgary' or 'brunch near me,' they're ready to eat. They'll check a few websites, look at menus, maybe make a reservation. If your website is outdated, hard to navigate, or doesn't show your food well, they'll pick your competitor instead.
Restaurant websites need to do a few things exceptionally well: show what you serve (menus), show when you're open (hours), make it easy to visit or order (location, reservations, online ordering), and make the food look irresistible (photography). Everything else is secondary.
Too many restaurant websites are afterthoughts—PDF menus that don't work on phones, outdated hours, no way to book a table. In a city with as many dining options as Calgary, a bad website is leaving money on the table.
Your website is often the first impression. Before someone walks through your door or places an order, they've probably visited your site. That experience shapes their expectations. A beautiful, functional website signals a quality dining experience.
We build restaurant websites that drive action—reservations booked, orders placed, tables filled. Websites that work as hard as your kitchen does.
Restaurant Website Features
Everything your restaurant website needs.
Restaurant Website Process
How we build websites for Calgary restaurants.
Menu & Brand Review
We review your menu, branding, and what makes your restaurant unique.
What's your concept? What's the vibe? What dishes are you known for? This shapes everything from design to photography emphasis.
Competitor Analysis
We look at other Calgary restaurants in your category to understand the competitive landscape.
What are similar restaurants doing online? Where are opportunities to stand out? How can your website be better?
Feature Planning
We determine which features you need—basic info site, online ordering, reservations, all of the above.
Not every restaurant needs every feature. A food truck has different needs than a fine dining establishment. We recommend what fits your business.
Design & Photography
We create a design that captures your restaurant's atmosphere and showcases your food beautifully.
Great food photography is essential. We can work with photos you have, recommend photographers, or guide you on taking better shots yourself.
Menu Implementation
We build your online menu—easy to read, easy to update, works perfectly on phones.
No more PDF menus that require pinching and zooming. Proper online menus with categories, descriptions, pricing, and dietary indicators.
Integrations & Launch
We connect reservation systems, online ordering, and any other integrations, then launch.
OpenTable, Resy, DoorDash, Skip the Dishes, Toast—whatever systems you use, we integrate them seamlessly.
The Importance of Food Photography
Nothing sells food like beautiful photos. Stock photos of generic dishes don't cut it—customers want to see YOUR food. Investment in quality food photography pays for itself many times over.
If professional photography isn't in the budget right now, we can advise on taking better photos yourself, or design around limited photography with a focus on ambiance and branding.
Benefits for Your Restaurant
What a great website does for your food business.
Fill More Tables
Easy reservations and compelling presentation convert browsers into diners. Reduce friction between 'I'm hungry' and 'I'm booking.'
Increase Online Orders
Seamless online ordering integration captures the growing delivery and takeout market. Don't lose orders to clunky experiences.
Showcase Your Food
Beautiful galleries and menu presentation make your food irresistible. Let customers eat with their eyes first.
Reduce Phone Calls
When hours, menus, and booking are clear online, you get fewer 'are you open?' calls. Staff can focus on guests.
Build Local SEO
A proper website improves your Google visibility for searches like 'sushi Calgary' or 'best burgers near me.'
Control Your Brand
Delivery apps show your food their way. Your website shows it your way—with proper branding and presentation.
Restaurant Website Must-Haves
Features that every restaurant website needs to do well:
Mobile-First Menus: Most people view restaurant websites on phones, often while walking around deciding where to eat. Menus must be readable without zooming, with clear categories and prices. Never use PDF menus as your only option.
Current Hours: Nothing frustrates customers more than showing up to find you're closed. Hours should be prominent, accurate, and updated for holidays. Google Business Profile integration helps keep this consistent.
Location with Directions: Clear address, embedded map, and parking information. Make it easy to find you. If you have multiple locations, each needs its own clear section.
Reservations or Ordering: If you take reservations, make it one-click easy. If you do takeout/delivery, online ordering should be obvious and functional. Don't hide these behind multiple clicks.
Contact Information: Phone number clickable on mobile. Email or contact form for inquiries. Maybe separate contacts for general questions vs. private events.
Food Photography: At least a few high-quality photos of your signature dishes. Hero images that capture your atmosphere. Visual appeal drives decisions in food more than almost any other industry.
