    What a restaurant website has to do

    A diner lands on your site from Maps or an AI answer, usually on a phone and usually hungry, and wants the menu, hours, a reservation or an order in the fewest taps possible. The site has to convert that into a booked table, a direct online order or a private event inquiry without sending them to a third-party app that takes a cut. What usually breaks on restaurant sites is a full-screen video that takes ten seconds to load, a PDF menu that will not open on a phone, hours that differ from Google, a reservation button that goes to a dead link and no way to inquire about events.

    Skyfield designs and builds the site, then the same team ranks it. Nothing gets handed off between a design shop and an SEO shop, so the structure, speed and content are right from the first day it is live.

    Built on the Right Platform

    WordPress fits most restaurants and restaurant groups because it handles menu management, reservation and ordering embeds and location pages while staying easy for a manager to update. Wix works for a single-location restaurant that wants a simpler setup with built-in reservations and ordering.

    WordPress

    Content-heavy sites, service businesses and anything that needs to be easy for your team to edit.

    Shopify

    Product catalogs, checkout and inventory for brands that sell online.

    Wix

    Smaller sites that need to launch fast on a managed platform.

    Drupal

    Larger organizations with complex permissions, content workflows and integrations.

    Custom

    Portals, calculators, booking flows and applications that no template handles well.

    Built to Rank From Day One

    Most redesigns lose rankings because the new site launches without the redirects, page structure and technical setup the old one had earned. Skyfield builds every website for restaurants the way we would want to inherit it as your SEO team, because we are your SEO team.

    The site launches with clean URL structure, schema markup, fast Core Web Vitals, tracking in GA4 and Search Console, and content written for the searches your customers make on Google and inside AI assistants.

    Website Questions From Restaurants

    Website development is quoted per project based on the number of locations, menu complexity and integrations like reservations, ordering and gift cards. A typical single-location restaurant site takes three to six weeks from kickoff to launch. We scope it with you before quoting.

    Not when the migration is handled correctly. We preserve or redirect every existing URL, keep your Google Business Profile links pointing to live pages, carry over menu content and monitor Search Console after launch. Rankings drop when pages disappear without redirects, and we prevent that.

    Yes. We integrate online ordering with Toast, Square, Clover and similar POS systems, embed reservations from OpenTable, Resy, Tock or SevenRooms, and connect gift cards and loyalty to your existing platform so everything flows into the systems you already run.

    You own the domain, the site, the menu content and all photography. We set up hosting in your restaurant's name with full admin access, or deploy to hosting you already have. Nothing is locked to us.

    Launch gives you the foundation, but map pack and occasion rankings come from ongoing work. Our SEO and GEO plans manage your Google Business Profile, keep listings synced, add occasion and seasonal content, build local links and track AI prompts every month so the site keeps filling tables.
