Restaurant websites that fill seats — not just look pretty
Most web designers around here hand you a WordPress template and call it custom. We write every line of code from scratch — building sites that load faster, give Google a cleaner foundation to rank, and actually turn visitors into customers.
Free. Written by hand. Back to you in 24–48 hours. No pitch.
“They took the time to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and really understand the company.”
Most restaurant websites are slowing down every reservation
A diner pulls up your site on their phone while their party debates dinner. If your menu lives in a slow-loading PDF, your reservation widget is buried two clicks deep, or your site loads in 6 seconds — they're already on OpenTable looking for the next option. Most Hudson Valley restaurant websites are losing the booking before the customer ever sees the food.
PDF menus kill reservations
Anything that requires a download or a pinch-zoom is a friction wall. Diners decide on dinner in under two minutes — your menu has to render instantly, on every device, in plain HTML.
Mobile-first or invisible
70%+ of restaurant searches happen on phones. If your site looks great on desktop and breaks on mobile, you're losing the customer at the moment of decision. Every site we build is mobile-first by default.
Schema = AI search visibility
Restaurant schema (cuisine, hours, price range, menu, reservations) is what lets ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews recommend you when someone asks "best Italian in Beacon." No schema, no recommendations.
WordPress vs. custom-coded
Most agencies in the Hudson Valley build on WordPress. Here's what that actually means for your business compared to what we do.
Typical WordPress Agency
✕ PageSpeed score: 55-75 ✕ 6-8 week delivery timeline ✕ Monthly plugin updates required ✕ Security vulnerabilities from plugins ✕ $6,500+ starting price ✕ Locked into WordPress hosting ✕ Generic template with your logo swapped in
Sileon — Custom-Coded
✓ PageSpeed score: 95-100 ✓ 4-5 week delivery ✓ Zero maintenance or updates needed ✓ No third-party plugin stack to patch, update, or expose ✓ Starting at $1,500 ✓ Host anywhere — you own the code ✓ Every pixel designed for your brand

Frequently asked
How much does a restaurant website cost in the Hudson Valley?
Our restaurant builds start at $1,500 for a clean Starter site (5 pages, mobile-responsive, contact form, basic SEO). Most restaurants choose our $3,000 Professional tier, which adds the integrated menu builder, reservation flow, photo gallery, and review carousel. Premium builds with online ordering or reservation system custom integrations start at $5,000.
Can you integrate OpenTable, Resy, or Tock?
Yes — all major reservation platforms integrate cleanly with custom-coded sites. We embed your existing booking flow directly so diners never bounce to a third party. If you'd rather not pay reservation platform fees, we can also build a custom reservation form that drops directly into your inbox.
Do I need a separate online ordering system?
For restaurants doing significant takeout, yes — we recommend integrating ChowNow, Toast, or your existing POS system's ordering layer. For dine-in only, a phone-based reservation flow is usually all you need. We'll help you decide what's actually worth the cost.
Will my site show up when people search "best [cuisine] near me"?
That's exactly what we build for. Every restaurant site ships with Restaurant schema, Menu schema, location-specific keyword targeting, and Google Business Profile integration. Combined with your real reviews, that's how AI search engines and Google decide who to recommend.
How long does a restaurant site take?
Most projects launch in 3–4 weeks. Faster than typical agencies because there's no WordPress configuration, no plugin conflicts, and no reservation widget that breaks every time the platform updates.
