A menu as a web page
Readable at arm's length on a phone, with prices, allergens and sections that can be jumped to. Searchable, which a PDF never is.
Restaurants
Restaurant websites in Cyprus, built around the menu
Almost every visit to a restaurant website is someone standing outside, or sitting in a car, deciding where to eat in the next twenty minutes. They want three things: the menu, the hours and the way to get there. Everything else on the page is in the way.
- Menu as a web page
- Hours right in both places
- Table in two taps

Book a table
A menu that opens as a page, not a PDF
01
The menu is the website
The single most common failure in this industry is a menu that is a PDF. It downloads, it opens in another app, it is unreadable without pinching, and Google cannot read a word of it.
Changeable by you, in minutes
Prices move and dishes come off. If changing one costs a phone call to a developer, the menu online stops matching the menu on the table.
Photographs of your own food
Stock photography of a generic plate is worse than no photograph. People in Cyprus recognise the difference immediately.
Two languages, often three
Greek for residents, English for everyone else, and in the tourist districts a third worth considering.
02
Being found at the moment of hunger
Most of this decision happens in Google Maps, not in a search result. The website's job is partly to support a profile it does not control.
Hours that are right in both places
Site and Google Business Profile agreeing - including public holidays, which is where most restaurants get caught out.
Reservations without friction
A table request that takes seconds, or a tap to WhatsApp. The right answer depends on who answers the phone at 19:30.
Reviews answered
Not for the rating, but because people read the replies to decide what kind of place this is.
Ordering, if it earns its keep
Delivery platforms take a percentage. Direct ordering only pays once the volume justifies it - we will tell you which side of that line you are on.
Built as web design plus local SEO, which is the half that fills tables. If you also take bookings, see booking systems.
Portfolio
Work you can open
Not mock-ups. Four live sites, and the write-ups behind three of them.
Questions
Questions we get asked
The things people ask before they commit to anything.
Can I update the menu myself?
Yes - that is the point. Prices and dishes change often enough that any other arrangement ends with an out-of-date menu online.
Do I need an online ordering system?
Only if the volume justifies it. For many restaurants in Cyprus, a clear phone number and WhatsApp outperform an ordering system nobody uses.
What about the delivery platforms?
They bring orders and take a cut. A website does not replace them; it gives you the customers who would rather come to you directly.
How important is Google Maps for a restaurant?
For walk-in trade it is more important than the website itself. The two have to agree with each other, and both have to be right.
Do you do photography?
No, but we will tell you honestly when the photographs are the weakest part of the page - which for restaurants they often are.
