Among the most important of these challenges is your restaurant’s website. A strong web design can help a restaurant market itself more effectively. It can help convert visitors who find the restaurant by searching, for example, on Yelp, shopping for a deal through Groupon, or searching on Google or Bing. Today, we’ll review 10 web design marketing best practices and tips for restaurant web design. Whether you leverage crowdSPRING’s community to build or update your restaurant’s website, work with a freelance designer or design firm, or create a design yourself, you might find the following 10 tips useful: 1. Keep the restaurant web design simple and fresh. Your restaurant’s homepage is typically the most important part of your website. Your potential customers will first see this when they visit your website, and it is often the link listed on various directories like Yelp. Because most restaurant sites have fewer than 10 pages, the homepage is also an important anchor for your overall site. Think about your potential customers. What are they most interested in finding on your site? Most potential customers visit your restaurant to find hours of operation, phone numbers for reservations, and directions (put a map on your directions page and make it easy for users to get directions right on your page – here is an easy way to add a map), and a full menu (with prices). If you have several menus, list all of them. Ensure those items are clearly labeled and easily accessible on your homepage – most visitors are not patient enough to play hide and seek on your site. Most are visiting your site to look for your menu or phone number. Consider including your hours and phone number on every page of your site. Also – if you have a kid’s menu and welcome kids, make that clear on your site and make the kid’s menu available. I can tell you from personal experience (I have three kids) that this is important for parents looking for a meal with their kids. Remember, too, that many customers will find your restaurant’s homepage after reading reviews, so keep the content on your homepage focused and short. People typically read only 28% of the words during an average visit, so don’t overload your homepage with much text. Tip: Make your menu available as text, not as a downloadable PDF. Users don’t like downloading files, and many will be accessing your site without the ability to view PDS. Make a PDF available in addition to the text menu if you want. You can also use a QR code menu using a QR code generator. Tip 2: Here are some good examples of fresh restaurant website designs. Some more examples here. Tip 3. Connect a reservation and table management system like Eat App to your website to take 24/7 real-time..
