Websites for restaurants and cafés in Ottawa
When someone is hungry, they want three things fast: the menu, the hours and how to get there. A simple site that shows those clearly on a phone does a lot of work for a small restaurant or café.
What a restaurant or café site needs
- A menu people can read on a phone. Real text instead of a blurry photo or a PDF download, so it’s easy to update and easy to read.
- Hours that are easy to find. Including holiday hours, with an optional “open now” badge like the café sample.
- Directions and parking. A map link and a short note on where to park.
- Links to what you already use. Your reservation, online ordering or delivery pages, plus Instagram or Facebook.
- Tap-to-call for takeout orders and questions.
What’s included
- A mobile-friendly site that loads fast on phones
- Menu as real text, hours and location
- Tap-to-call button and a map link
- Links to your reservation, ordering or delivery service (booking link integration is a +$75 add-on)
- Links to your Instagram or Facebook
- Page titles and descriptions written for your restaurant and neighbourhood
- Help setting up or cleaning up your Google Business Profile (included with Local Pro; +$100 add-on with the 1-page Starter)
- Hosting set-up help
Every site is yours: no lock-in, and you can take it to another host or developer any time.

*You pay for your own domain name (usually about $15–$50 a year). The $600 intro price is for my first 3 clients, in return for letting me show the site as my work. Try the instant estimate for add-ons like booking links or having the text written for you.
Questions
Can I update the menu myself?
Menu and price changes are the kind of small edit covered by the $35/mo care plan (up to 30 minutes a month). If you’d rather edit it yourself, tell me when you ask for the mock-up and we can talk about options.
Can you add online ordering or reservations?
I can link your site to the ordering, delivery or reservation service you already use. Booking link integration is a +$75 add-on. I don’t build custom ordering systems.
How long does it take?
A one-page site usually takes about a week once I have your text, photos and logo. Larger sites take longer, depending on how quickly content and feedback come in.
Do I own the website?
Yes. You own the site and your domain name. There is no contract lock-in, and the care plan can be cancelled any time.
What does the free mock-up involve?
You email me your business name, what you do and your current website or Facebook page. I send back a mock-up of your home page. There is no cost and no obligation to buy.
