Squarespace web design for restaurants & hospitality brands

START YOUR PROJECT

Your website is the first thing a potential guest or wholesale buyer sees before they ever walk through your door. It should communicate the same level of care and intention as the food you serve and the experience you create.

I design custom Squarespace websites for restaurants, cafés, and hospitality brands that want a refined online presence — not a template that looks like everyone else's. Every site is built with editorial-quality design, clear structure, and the details that make a brand feel considered.

This is for you if:

  • You're opening a new restaurant or café and need a website before launch

  • Your current site looks outdated or doesn't reflect the quality of your food and experience

  • You want a Squarespace website that's easy for your team to update without breaking the design

Packages starting at $2500. Final pricing will be determined in proposal.

Every restaurant website I build is designed around what guests look for first: your menu, hours, and location, plus a clear way to reserve, order, or ask about private events. The full list is below.

    • Design questionnaire to ensure the final result reflects your brand accurately

    • Up to 5 custom designed pages (home, about, contact, services, blog)

    • Custom CSS for a distinctive, polished look that goes beyond the standard template

    • 2 rounds of revisions

    • Basic SEO setup and Google Analytics integration

    • Social media integration

    • Custom domain or email hosting

    • Squarespace subscription plan

    • Copywriting, branding, or photography

    • Website or desktop font licensing (if applicable — see note below)

    • Image or graphics licensing

    • Third-party plug-ins and associated licensing (if applicable — see note below)

    If you already hold licensing for fonts or plug-ins you'd like incorporated into your site, I will require a copy of your licensing agreement before work begins. This protects both of us.

    • Additional pages starting at $175 USD (final price depends on design complexity)

    • "Coming Soon" page or pre-launch landing page

    • Promotional pop-up design

HOW the PROCESS WORKS

Discovery
We start with a conversation about your concept, your guests, and what the site needs to do, whether that’s filling tables, booking events, or taking orders.

Structure and content
I map out the pages and menu layout, and tell you exactly which photos and text I need from you.

Design and build
I design and build the site in Squarespace using your typography, colors, and photography, then send it for your review.

Launch and handoff
After revisions, the site goes live, and I show you how to update your menu, hours, and events yourself.

SQUARESPACE for RESTAURANTS:
What It Does Well

Squarespace is a strong fit for most independent restaurants, cafés, and food brands. It includes menu layouts built for restaurants, event calendars, photo galleries, and inquiry forms for private dining. It supports reservation and ordering partners such as Tock and ChowNow, or you can link to the booking or ordering platform your restaurant already uses. Your team can update the site without a developer. It isn’t the right tool for a restaurant that needs a fully custom ordering system with its own checkout. In that case, a dedicated ordering platform linked from your site works better, and I’ll tell you honestly if that’s your situation.

In the background, a champagne flute filled with champagne and a dining setting with silverware, a wine glass, and a napkin on a light-colored table are visible.

FAQ:

  • Packages start at $2,500. Final pricing depends on the number of pages and features, and is confirmed in a written proposal.

  • A typical Squarespace website takes 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. The timeline depends on the number of pages and how quickly I receive your photos, menu, and copy, since content is the most common source of delays.

  • Yes. I build it so you can edit menus, hours, and events without breaking the design, and I show you how at launch.

  • Yes! I can connect your site to third-party platforms like OpenTable, Resy, or Toast, using a booking widget, embed, or direct link, depending on the platform's capabilities.

  • Yes. I’m based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and work remotely with restaurants and hospitality brands across the US.
