Websites for restaurants, bars and local businesses

A website worth the room you built.

The design is locked, so it stays good. The content is yours, so you are never waiting on anyone. We build it, launch it and keep it running; you change your menu from your phone.

Get started How it works

You tell us about your place. We make it a site.

An example: the owner of a made-up restaurant fills in the form, and their plain old website becomes a finished one in their own colors.

Built around your brand

A bistro, a barbershop and a florist should not look alike.

We start from your colors, your type and your photos, and design the site around them. Ovaro stays in the background, and your brand fills the page.

What you control

Your site, editable by you, in words rather than code.

Type a new headline and the preview of your site changes with each letter. Change a dish, a price or tonight's event, press Save, and it is live.

An example: in the dashboard, the headline of a made-up restaurant's site is retyped, the preview beside it changes with each letter, and Save puts it live.

Menus, hours, photos and events

Everything a regular checks before they come in.

From your phone

The dashboard works on a phone, so a change can happen from the pass.

The design stays put

You change what the site says. The layout and type stay the way we built them.

How it works

From first conversation to a site that is yours.

Proposal
Tell us about your place. We come back with a price and exactly what it covers.
Deposit
Half up front to start the work, half when you are happy and it goes live.
We build it
You send your logo, photos and menu. Nothing technical is ever asked of you.
You review it privately
A private link to the real site before anyone else sees it. Three rounds of changes are included.
Launch, then it is yours
Live on your domain, and from then on you manage the content yourself whenever you like.

Pricing

A one-off fee to build it. A flat monthly to keep it alive.

Compare it with paying a freelancer $2,000 for a site that is out of date by spring, or a weekend with a page builder you were never going to spend. Building starts at $149 for a site made from our system. Custom design starts at $2,500, and we quote it in writing before you pay anything. The monthly depends on what has to be kept running:

Standard

$49/month

Your site, hosted and kept current, and the dashboard to run it. Most places need nothing more.

Content dashboard — menus, hours, photos, events
Order, booking and reservation buttons to the tools you use
Visitor analytics in your dashboard
Hosting, SSL, security and updates

Connected

$99/month

Your site, connected to the systems you already run, like your point of sale. We build the connection and keep it working.

Everything in Standard
A connection to your other tools, agreed in writing first
If a connection breaks, we fix it

Platform

$299+/month

For a site that has to do something no off-the-shelf tool does. We build it, and then we keep it running.

Custom features built for your business
Accounts, submissions and the data behind them
A support response time, agreed in writing

Cancel any time. Your content, your data and your domain go with you if you ever leave.

A sentence or two is enough. We will come back with a price and what it covers, usually within a business day.
