Restaurant websites in Ottawa
Your menu on a real web page, the same hours everywhere, and a site that loads fast on a phone. Made by one designer in Ottawa, in English and French, and you own it.
What usually goes wrong
The menu is a PDF
Hard to read on a phone, and Google can't read the dishes, so people searching for "pasta near me" never find you.
The hours don't match
Your site says one thing, Google says another, and a customer shows up to a locked door. Mismatched hours also cost you in local search.
It's slow on a phone
Ciao Italia's old site scored 54 on mobile and weighed 6.6 MB. Most people leave before a page like that finishes loading.
Real example: Ciao Italia

How it works
- 1. Free audit. I check your site, Google listing and menu and send a one-page report.
- 2. Written quote. Scope, price and dates. Nothing starts until you agree.
- 3. Build and hand over. Two rounds of changes, then every file and login is yours.
Questions owners ask
How much does a restaurant website cost?
It depends on how many pages you need and whether you want photos. You get a written quote with the price before anything starts, and you pay once.
Do I have to pay every month?
No. The site and the files are yours. Small sites often fit in Netlify's free hosting plan. If yours doesn't, the quote says so.
Can I keep my online ordering or reservation system?
Yes. I link to the platform you already use instead of rebuilding it.
Can you only fix my Google listing and menu?
Yes. The Google & menu fix cleans up your Google Business Profile and turns your menu into a proper web page, without a new site.
Do you work in French or Arabic?
Yes. I work in English, French and Arabic, for the site and for our conversations.
Is your site losing you customers?
I'll check your website, Google listing and menu for free, and send you a one-page report.
