A service for demanding venues

Custom restaurant website design, done by hand for one venue

The standard WMenu venue page has a fixed layout and, from the STANDARD plan, two brand colours. A starred restaurant, a hotel dining room or a concept bar needs more than that: its own typefaces, photos shown full-screen, a home page that looks like the venue. Our designers draw it by hand for one venue and build it on WMenu. Dishes, prices and allergens still come from the same panel, so you keep editing the menu yourself.

Price and timeline after a brief. A quote we confirm does not grow along the way.

A layout designed for this one venue

The order of sections, the category grid, how photos are shown, a home page with hours and a map. Not a template in another colour but a design from a blank page, matched to what the venue sells: an 8-course tasting is shown differently from 40 pizzas.

Typography and colour beyond the standard

On the standard page you change two brand colours in the panel. In a bespoke design our designer picks the typefaces and the full palette by hand, from your logo and printed materials, and checks contrast on a phone in sunlight and in a dark dining room. It is not a theme you swap later with one click: a new look a year from now is a new job.

Photos and copy in your guests' languages

A photography direction: what to shoot, in what light, in what proportions, or work on the photos the venue already has. We write the page copy in your guests' languages rather than machine-translating it, because a wine description does not read like a dish description.

QR codes, Google profile and the web address

We generate table QR codes and give you the link for your Google Business Profile. The site lives on a WMenu address, wmenu.eu/place/your-venue. On request we put it on a WMenu subdomain instead, such as your-venue.wmenu.eu, and give you the timeline before work starts. We do not connect the site to a domain of your own.

How the project runs

01

Brief and a look at your materials

We talk about the concept and look at the current site, logo, photos and printed menu. After this step you get a quote and a timeline that do not change during the work.

02

Design of the home page and the menu

We show a design of two screens, home and menu, on a phone and on a desktop. One round of corrections is included; further rounds are quoted separately.

03

Build, menu entry, handover

We build the site on WMenu, enter the menu with photos, descriptions and allergens, and generate the table QR codes. A handover call at the end: we show where you change prices and items.

Who it is for, and who would be wasting money

A bespoke design makes sense when the look of the site sells: a restaurant with a tasting menu, a hotel restaurant that has to match the hotel's site, a concept bar guests photograph. If the venue mainly needs a working menu by tomorrow, start with the standard venue page: sign-up takes minutes, the first 30 days of Standard are free, and a bespoke design can be added later on the same account.

It is wasted money in two cases. A venue that changes concept every season pays for each redesign separately, because a bespoke design is not changed from the panel. A venue that has no photos and plans none gets a nice layout with empty tiles, because in hospitality the photo sells the dish, not the grid.

What changes in running the site after launch

Nothing. Prices, items, seasonal sections and hiding dishes that ran out are done in the same panel as every venue on WMenu. The design concerns the look, not the mechanics: language versions, allergens, variants and extras work the same way. If you would rather not enter the menu yourself, we enter it for you from photos or a PDF as part of the launch.

The subscription plan is chosen separately and can be changed later. The design does not require PREMIUM: bookings (PRO) and online ordering (PREMIUM) are added when you need them and appear in the designed layout.

The address: on WMenu, not on your domain

The designed site lives at wmenu.eu/place/ followed by your venue's name. That is the address on the table QR codes and in your Google Business Profile. On request it can sit on a WMenu subdomain, your-venue.wmenu.eu. That is not an option in the panel: we give you the timeline before work starts, and if it clashes with an opening date, tell us before the QR codes go to print.

We do not put the site on a domain of yours. If you already have a site on your own domain, keep it and link to the WMenu page from its menu or booking button. Dishes and prices then live in one place, and the old site needs no edits when the menu changes. A venue that wants everything under its own domain is better served by an agency or a site builder.

The quote: what is in it and what is not

The price depends on the number of screens, languages and whether we work on existing photos, which is why it is not on this page but after a brief. The quote includes: the design of the home page and the menu, one round of corrections, the build, menu entry, QR codes and a handover call. A WMenu subdomain, if you ask for one, is a separate line with its own timeline. The quote does not include a photo shoot (we can arrange one under a separate quote), the WMenu subscription paid according to the pricing page, or a second round of corrections.

The site stays on WMenu. We do not export it to WordPress or to files: when the subscription ends, the site ends. For a venue that wants to own the site's code, this is the wrong choice and we say so before the contract.

Frequently asked questions

Can the site run on my domain?

No. The site lives on a WMenu address, wmenu.eu/place/your-venue, or on request on a WMenu subdomain such as your-venue.wmenu.eu, with the timeline given before work starts. If you have a site on your own domain, link to the WMenu page from it.

Do I still edit the menu myself after the project?

Yes, in the same WMenu panel: prices, items, photos, language versions, allergens. The design concerns the look, not the menu mechanics.

How many rounds of corrections are included?

One, after we show the design of the home page and the menu. Further rounds are quoted separately, and we say so before the work starts, not after.

Do I need the PREMIUM plan?

No. You pick the plan by feature: BASIC or STANDARD for the menu alone, PRO for bookings, PREMIUM for online ordering. The design works on each of them.

How does the quote work?

After one call about the concept, the number of screens and languages, and the photos, you get the scope, price and timeline by e-mail. A confirmed quote does not grow during the project.

I run several venues. Does one design cover them all?

The design can be done once for the brand and rolled out to every venue with its own menu and address. We charge the rollout per venue and the design per brand, so for a chain give the number of venues in the brief.

What happens to the site if I leave WMenu?

The site runs on WMenu and cannot be exported to WordPress or to files. When the subscription ends, the site and its WMenu address stop working. A site you keep on your own domain is not affected.
