Restaurant web design in Chicago and its suburbs has been getting on my nerves! I was looking for a pizza joint in Chicago and a lot of the websites created by Chicago web design company’s  had a flash intro, come on man.  Then once I skip the annoying flash intro I get to a site with no menu and a phone number and address hidden on the contact page.  What is going on with web design for restaurants!  Restaurant websites should not have an annoying flash intro and they should most definately contain the following:

• A phone number that is really easy to find, like in the upper right hand corner of the header on every page.
• A menu and a good one that actually contains prices
• An address so you know where the restaurant is and where you need to go to pick up your pizza to go
• Good, real images of the food you are about to consume

Why is this that hard for web designers to pull off, take it easy and don’t over design your site and make all of the above mentioned contents a priority.  Keep it simple!  Robbuti.com’s team of experienced web developers know what it takes to put up an easy to use functional restaurant website that will leave your customers with a pleasant experience as they get what they need without any of the design getting in the way.

Some restaurant owners don’t like to put pricing on thier menus as they change often and they don’t want to keep paying their web developer an arm and a leg to update it, but rest assured, we use 3 different types of content management systems for restaurant web sites that will make it easy for you to make the changes yourself without the anxiety of waiting for your web developer to make the changes in a timely manner.  We can use WordPress, Joomla or Drupal to make your new website or we can update your old site with one of these CMS.  Using these content management systems make everything so much easier as we will set them up right off the bat with proper search engine optimization throughout and you just add the content and the CMS does the rest.

Once we set up your new CMS, we will personally sit down with you and teach you everything you need to know to update your new site on a regular basis. Not only will this save you a lot of money, but it will give you complete control of your site and in a short time you will start learning more about your website and search engine optimization as it will all come together.  You’ll be suprised how easy all of this is, don’t let another SEO design company rip you off, let us teach you the ins and outs and you will take off running and be in complete control.
