Who This Template Is Perfect For

Built for rooms people dress up for

Restaurant

A dark, unhurried site for restaurants where the room and the menu do the selling. Everything in the preview is a placeholder. The restaurant name, the menu, the photography and the hours are all replaced with yours.

The Process

From here to live

Two to Four Weeks

01

You pick Saffron

Tell me this is the direction. We talk through your menu, your room, and how you take reservations.

02

You send content

Photos of your room and food, your menu with prices, hours and contact details. I send a simple checklist so nothing is missed.

03

I build it

I adapt the design to your brand and send it over to review. We go back and forth until you approve the final look.

04

We go live

Domain connected, reservations connected, analytics set up, and a full handover. After launch, menu changes come straight to me and are handled as part of your monthly care plan.

The Standout Feature

Motion that feels
expensive

Every animation is there to slow you down, not speed you up, the way a good dining room does. A letter-by-letter title reveal on load, a slow zoom on the hero, menu rows that shift under the cursor and a gallery that stays desaturated until you touch it.

  • Letter-by-letter title reveal on load
  • Slow zoom and parallax on the hero
  • Staggered fade-ups as you scroll
  • Menu rows that shift on hover
  • Gallery images that desaturate until touched
  • Buttons that fill from the left
  • Nav that turns solid once you leave the hero
  • Honours reduced-motion accessibility settings

What It Costs

Build, then hosting

Quoted Separately

$500+A one-time build fee, quoted per project based on how much you want on the site. Hosting and care is a separate monthly cost, quoted at the same time so you see both numbers before committing.

One-Time

The Build

Design adapted to your restaurant, your menu and photography set in, reservations connected, and launch handled.

From $500, quoted per project. You will have a fixed number in writing before any work begins.

Monthly

Hosting & Care

Keeps the site online, fast, secure and backed up, with software kept current.

Separate from the build, quoted at the same time so you see both numbers together. Menu and price changes are handled for you as part of the plan, usually the same day.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Before We Start

How does this actually work?

You are choosing a design direction, not buying a file. There is nothing to download or configure. I adapt this look to your brand, build every section around your content and your words, and send it over to review. We go back and forth until you approve the final look, then it goes live on your domain.

Is this a Squarespace, Wix or WordPress template?

No. These are designs I have built from scratch, and I build your site the same way. That means no platform subscription, no plugin sprawl, and no theme you will outgrow.

Can guests reserve through it?

Yes, through whatever you already use, Resy, OpenTable, Tock or SevenRooms. I connect it so booking feels part of the site. Those platforms charge their own fee, separate from anything I quote. The design also includes a reservation request form that lands in your inbox.

What if my menu changes every week?

Expected for a seasonal kitchen. Menu and price changes are covered under your monthly care plan. Send them over and I update them, usually the same day. If you want to edit the menu yourself, we can set that up, just raise it on the onboarding call.

Do I need professional photos?

For this design, yes, honestly. It is built to let large images carry the page, and dim dining rooms are the hardest thing to shoot on a phone. A couple of hours with a photographer who shoots food and interiors pays for itself.

Can the design be changed?

Yes, within reason. Colours, type, imagery and section order are all adjusted to fit your restaurant, that is part of the build. If you want something structurally different, that is a custom project and I will quote it as one.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The files, the domain and the content are yours. If you ever move to another host or designer, everything transfers.

Do you only work with restaurants in Los Angeles?

No, I work anywhere in the US. If you are local we can meet in person.

Want something
entirely your own?

If none of the designs fit, I build from a blank page too. Same process, more discovery.
