For food businesses

    Make it easy to choose you, then find you.

    Put the menu, opening hours and next step where people expect them. We design food websites around the decision to visit, book, order or ask about an event.

    GLAZD donut business visual identity

    Selected work · Brand identity & creative direction

    A food brand with an appetite for colour.

    Our GLAZD project brought brand identity and creative direction to a donut business with a changing flavour offer.

    The design lesson

    A recognisable identity can connect packaging, photography and menu communication. This project shows our food-brand work rather than an ordering-system build.

    Start with the decisions

    People are often looking for an answer, not a long browse.

    A beautiful food image sets the mood. The menu, location and booking details help someone act on it. Those essentials need to be quick to find and easy to update.

    1. 01

      Make the menu readable

      Plan a menu people can browse comfortably on a phone. Organise categories, prices and your supplied dietary information clearly.

    2. 02

      Keep the practical information together

      Give opening hours, directions, contact details and venue information a reliable home. Make seasonal changes straightforward to manage.

    3. 03

      Match the action to the business

      A café visit, restaurant reservation, catering brief and packaged-product order need different information and different next steps.

    Planned together

    Give the right details room to work.

    Start with what visitors need. Then choose the pages, content and functionality that support it.

    01

    A taste of the business

    Photography, menu structure and your story presented with a clear visual identity. Visitors should recognise what makes the offer yours.

    02

    Useful information, easy to update

    Editable menu or service content, location details and contact information. We agree who will manage updates and what they need to change.

    03

    A direct next step

    Clear booking, ordering or enquiry paths using the tools that fit the business. Search foundations support understandable pages and service information.

    Scope to discuss. Ordering platforms, reservations, catering workflows and online stores are scoped separately. We check platform costs, account access and the customer journey before recommending integrations.

    Before we design

    Start with the questions customers ask every day.

    Bring the current menu, opening hours, location details and your booking or ordering tools. Let us know who updates the content. For catering or packaged products, we’ll also map the information needed before an enquiry or purchase.

    A shared plan

    Know what happens next.

    Your proposal sets the schedule. Content readiness, integrations and feedback shape the timing.

    1. 01

      Strategy

      Agree the audience, goals and scope.

    2. 02

      Content

      Plan the pages, messages and assets.

    3. 03

      Design

      Review the layout and visual direction.

    4. 04

      Development

      Build the site and agreed connections.

    5. 05

      Launch

      Test, publish and complete the handover.

    A focused starting point

    Websites from $1,500 AUD

    Your proposal confirms the final scope.

    • Landing page + two additional pages
    • Basic SEO
    • Content management system (CMS)

    Bookings, stores, memberships and other integrations are quoted around your requirements. Content support, ongoing care and recurring software or hosting fees are discussed alongside the build.

    Find out what your website needs

    Before you decide

    A few useful answers.

    Have a different question? Let’s talk it through.

    Can I update the menu and hours myself?

    We can include those fields in the CMS and cover the updates in your handover. The structure depends on how often your menu changes and how much detail it needs.

    Can you connect our reservation or ordering system?

    We assess your current service, available integration options and account requirements. The proposal identifies the connection and any recurring platform fees.

    Do you work with catering and packaged food businesses?

    The site can be planned around catering briefs or product discovery as well as venue visits. Stores and more involved ordering flows are scoped around those needs.

    Will the website improve our search visibility?

    We plan clear headings, metadata, useful content and internal links as part of the search foundations. Rankings and visitor numbers cannot be promised; ongoing SEO work is a separate discussion.

    Do we need new food photography?

    We first review the images you have and their usage rights. If new photography would help, we can discuss the brief and any additional creative support.
