Your menu is already online — on Yelp, DoorDash, Google. The question is whether people see YOUR version first. A restaurant website you control means accurate hours, correct prices, your own photos, and a direct reservation link that doesn't cost you 30% commission. I build restaurant sites that make people hungry and make it dead simple to book a table or find the door.
The Ember & Oak demo in my portfolio showcases the editorial warmth that works for Sonoma County dining — farm-to-table aesthetic, full menu display, wine list, reservation CTA. It's the design language I bring to every restaurant project. See the full portfolio →
Menu pages that Google can actually read and index (not PDFs), reservation integration, hours and location front and center, mobile-first with tap-to-call and tap-to-navigate, and a design that matches the experience you're selling. For wine country restaurants, I add wine list pages, event calendars, and private dining information.
Sonoma County diners plan ahead. They Google "best restaurant Healdsburg" or "dinner Petaluma tonight." If your site doesn't show up — or if it looks dated — they book somewhere else. In a market where a single table of four spends $200+, every lost reservation hurts.
I'm one person, not an agency. You talk to me, I build the site, I handle the SEO. No account managers, no project coordinators, no game of telephone where your feedback gets lost. When you email me, I respond. When something needs changing, I change it. That's it.
Every site is hand-coded — no WordPress themes, no Squarespace templates, no drag-and-drop builders. The result is a site that loads in under 2 seconds, scores 95+ on Google PageSpeed, and is structured specifically to rank for the searches your customers are making.
