Quick and Easy Restaurant/Catering Sites

You focus on the Food and Customers and we take care of the website and online marketing
Every restaurant's website should reflect their location's food, wine, ambiance and decor. Whether your business is a Deli, Mexican restaurant, French cafe or Italian Bistro, your website's design is the foundation upon which your restaurant's site is built and Internet Essentials will work closely with the restaurant owners and managers to develop the overall look, feel, navigation and layout from our templates or a custom design. You focus on the Food and Customers and we take care of the website and online marketing.

The following are design considerations that will be made:
  • Restaurant specific Navigation and graphics
  • Color theme and logos will be based on your existing restaurant's look and feel.
  • Graphic design if you need help with your look.
  • Gift card and product ordering software
  • Client loyalty programs
  • Our Restaurant Sites are frameless to support better Search Engine registration
  • Scalable text and graphics to display your Menu's, Wine lists and specials.
  • Menu Printing compliant for easy user printouts.

Base Web Site

The initial site will include the following:
A main page and sub sections

  • Home (link)
  • Events
  • Locations
  • Contact
  • Reservations
  • The Food
    • Menus listed on
  • The Place
    • Descriptions and images of the different areas; Dining Room, Bar, View, etc.
  • The People
    • Owners, chefs, staff
  • 2 POP-3 Email accounts

Each client will initially be provided with one mock up homepage for further refinement. The final design will establish the graphical standards for the entire site. Additional graphic design and customization will be provided on a time and materials basis at IE's standard rates.

Administrative System Functions

In order to provide a more time and cost effective website, IE has created an administrative "back end" interface that allows the Owner/Manager to make routine "day to day" changes, e.g. daily menu specials. This allows for a more dynamic and useful website to the client while cutting costs and waiting times for changes or additions to be implemented. This Content Management System (CMS) Technology facilitates authoring, publishing and management of site contents.

CMS has the following benefits:

  • Ease of use for non-technical personnel to update existing pages and/or add new content pages.
  • Minimize the training/learning impact.
  • Protecting the security of the site.
  • Ability to propagate changes across the site.
  • Ability to back up changes pages and restore them to the previous version.
  • Ease of use for the site administrator to manage the overall site, archive old pages and track
    site publishing.
  • The Events calendar section will have basic client administration functions; add, delete, edit.

Upon completion of your new site, it will be necessary to establish appropriate hosting on our Web/SQL Web Servers. IE provides extensive web, e-business and database hosting solutions. IE guarantees at least 99.9% up time so you and your customers will always be able to access the system from any computer that can access the internet.
