"Full website design and development, including theme customization, menu integration, and reservation system setup."
3. Key Features & Functionality
Custom WordPress Theme: "Built a custom WordPress theme tailored to the restaurant’s brand, ensuring a unique and professional look."
Menu Integration: "Designed a dynamic and easy-to-navigate menu with images of dishes, categorized by sections (Starters, Main Courses, Desserts, etc.)."
Online Reservation System: "Integrated an easy-to-use reservation plugin (e.g., OpenTable or WP Restaurant Manager) that allows customers to book tables directly from the site."
Responsive Design: "Ensured the website is fully responsive, providing an optimal viewing experience on mobile devices and desktops."
Contact Information & Map: "Included a contact page with a built-in Google map, making it easier for customers to find the restaurant."
Social Media Integration: "Connected social media accounts (Instagram, Facebook) for easy access to the restaurant’s latest photos and updates."
SEO Optimized: "Implemented SEO best practices to ensure the website ranks well on Google for local searches (e.g., 'restaurant near me')."
4. Design & Aesthetic

5. Challenges & Solutions
