THE VISUAL PART

Design Is the First Impression.

Customers decide in seconds whether a place feels right. We design every site from scratch: its own type, color, photography and voice.

FAQ

Website Questions.

How long does a website take?

A template website launches in 3–5 days. A custom website takes 15–20 business days. Both timelines start once we have your content and approvals.

What is the difference between a template and a custom website?

A template site starts from one of our proven demo layouts and is rebuilt with your brand. A custom site is designed from scratch, with features built around how your customers book or buy.

Which platform do you build on?

Whichever fits you best: Wix, Shopify, WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow or custom code. We recommend one based on what you sell and who will update the site.

Do I own my website and domain?

Yes. The website, domain, content and accounts belong to you.

Is there a monthly fee?

Website care is a separate monthly plan, scoped to what you need, such as updates, security, backups and SEO check-ins.

What are SEO and GEO?

SEO helps your site show up in Google Search and Maps. GEO, generative engine optimization, helps AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews understand your business and mention it in their answers.

Can you build a website in English and Chinese?

Yes. We build real English and Chinese versions, linked so search engines show each audience the right language.

Do you only build restaurant websites?

No. We also build websites for spas and wellness, entertainment venues, construction and remodeling companies, salons and other local businesses.

Do you design the site or use a theme?

We design it. Template sites start from one of our own demo layouts and are restyled for your brand. Custom sites are designed from scratch.

Can you take photos for my website?

Yes. Our photography and video team plans and shoots food, interiors and people for your site and social.

Can you redesign my current website?

Yes. We can refresh what you have or rebuild it, keeping what already works for search.

Can I update the website myself?

On most platforms, yes. We set you up and show you how to change text, photos and hours. Or leave it to your care plan.
