A full URL and content audit
Every page on the current site or platform reviewed before the redesign starts, so nothing valuable gets lost.
A restaurant website redesign that doesn't throw away the search rankings you already have
A restaurant website redesign should keep the search rankings and traffic your current site already earns, not reset them to zero on launch day. That means preserving working URLs wherever possible and setting up proper redirects everywhere they change, whether you're moving off an outdated site or replacing a presence that's currently just a page on a delivery app.

Who restaurant website redesign is for
Restaurants with an old site, or only a delivery-app listing, who want something new without throwing away the search traffic and links they already have.
Signs you need it
- The site was built years ago and still shows the old menu or old photos.
- You worry a redesign will wipe out the little search traffic you have.
- The only online presence you control is a delivery-app page.
- Old links in articles and social posts point to pages that no longer exist.
The most common redesign mistake: losing your URLs
When a redesign changes page addresses without redirecting the old ones, search engines see a wall of broken links and any ranking or trust the old pages had built up evaporates, sometimes for months. We map your current site's URLs against the new structure before launch and set up 301 redirects for anything that changes, so a search engine, and a guest with an old bookmark, lands on the right new page instead of a dead end.
- Every existing URL mapped before the redesign starts
- 301 redirects set up for any address that changes
- Search visibility preserved rather than reset on launch day
Moving off a delivery-app-only presence
Plenty of restaurants currently exist online only as a listing on a delivery app or a basic one-page site thrown up years ago, neither of which you actually own or control. A redesign in that situation isn't really a migration of old pages, it's building a real, owned website for the first time, one with your own domain, your own menu content and your own reservation path, instead of renting visibility from a platform that can change its terms or fees whenever it wants.
What we check before touching anything live
Before a redesign goes live, we review what's currently ranking, which pages get search traffic, which get linked to from elsewhere, and what content, even outdated content, is actually working. That review shapes what carries over into the new site rather than starting from a blank page and hoping nothing important gets lost in the process.
Launching without a dead period
A redesign shouldn't mean your restaurant has no live website for two weeks while the new one gets built. We build the new site fully, review it with you, and switch it live in one clean cutover with redirects already in place, so there's no gap where guests hit a broken page or an outdated one at the same time the new site is being finished.
What changes, and what we deliberately keep
A redesign typically means a faster site, mobile-first layouts, current photography and a working reservation path, real improvements over whatever came before. What we keep deliberately is anything already earning search traffic: working URLs where possible, content that's ranking even if it needs a refresh, and your existing Google Business Profile connections, so the redesign is additive rather than a reset.

Why a fast site can make your ads cheaper
Short answer: a fast, relevant page helps you keep the visitors you already pay for and can lower what each ad click costs. We build every site to load fast from day one and keep it that way after every change.
Fast on the phone in their hand
Every page is custom coded, ships very little JavaScript and is served from a global edge network, with 90+ Google PageSpeed guaranteed on mobile and desktop. Menus, hours and the booking button load before a guest standing on the sidewalk gives up.
A better landing page can lower cost per click
Google Ads rates every keyword with a Quality Score, and landing page experience is one of its three parts. A page that loads fast and matches what the ad promised helps that score, and a stronger Quality Score can lower what you pay for each click and improve where the ad shows.
More of the clicks you paid for stay
Every guest who taps an ad and leaves before the page appears is money spent on nobody. A page that opens quickly helps reduce those lost visits, so more of the paid clicks you already buy reach the menu or the booking step.
We do not promise a specific cost per click, percentage or ranking; ad prices depend on your bids, competitors and keywords. Source: Google Ads Help, "About Quality Score for Search campaigns", accessed September 18, 2026.
What protects you on restaurant website redesign
Guarantees with the conditions visible. Neither guarantee is a refund: the remedy is the corrective work, and neither covers changes made by you or third parties, content published against our advice, or ranking outside your area and services.

Ranking locally within 3 to 5 months
We guarantee your site starts ranking for local searches in your area within 3 to 5 months of launch. If it has not, we keep doing the search work at no extra charge until it does.
Build fee only after you approve
The $647 build fee is invoiced after the site is live and you are happy with it. You never pay for a build you have not seen.
Nothing held hostage
Your domain is registered in your name. If you leave, we transfer it free and send an export of your content and articles within 14 days.
Cancel with plain notice
Email us at least 2 business days before your next invoice, during business hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday to Friday). You can cancel at any time.
All sales are final, except a duplicate or incorrect charge from our billing, which we correct if you tell us within 30 days. Full wording: terms and refund policy.
What owners say about restaurant website redesign
The review of our bistro private dining pages was uncomfortable reading, in a useful way. The facts have one home, and every change request names the reference page and its reviewer. It is the least glamorous work they did, and possibly the most valuable.
Georgia Wyndham, Host supervisorMarket town bistro, Manchester, NHContent audit and update process for bistro private dining Years of shared bistro private dining links were my concern, and they treated it as theirs. We reviewed the full redirect map before launch and checked the destinations ourselves. I could share the new site knowing the old links had been taken seriously.

Questions about restaurant website redesign
Will we lose our current search rankings during a redesign?
Not if it is handled correctly: we map your existing URLs, set up redirects for anything that changes, and audit what is already ranking before the redesign starts, which is exactly what prevents the traffic drop that badly handled redesigns cause.
We only have a page on a delivery app right now, is that still a redesign?
It's really a first real website in that case, one you own outright with your own domain, menu content and reservation path, rather than renting visibility from a platform. The process still starts with reviewing whatever content currently exists so nothing useful gets thrown away.
How long will our old site be down during the switch?
We build and review the new site fully before it goes live, then switch it over in one clean cutover with redirects already in place, so there's no dead period where guests hit a broken or missing page.
How much does a redesign cost?
Pricing follows the same plans as a new build, starting at $117 a month with a $647 one-time build fee invoiced after launch; there is no separate redesign surcharge on top of the standard plan pricing.
What happens to our Google Business Profile during a redesign?
We keep it connected and aligned with the new site’s hours, menu and details rather than disconnecting it, since that profile is often carrying real search visibility of its own.
Will a redesign hurt my rankings?
Not when it is mapped properly. We list the addresses that matter, set 301 redirects for anything that moves, and keep titles that already rank unless there is a good reason to change them.
How long does a redesign take?
Live in 7 days on The Table, 10 on The Full House and 15 on Standing Room Only, from your onboarding call.
What does a redesign cost?
The same as any site we build: plans from $117 a month plus a $647 build fee invoiced after you approve the launch. There is no separate migration fee.
Comparing this with another option?
