A guest who is on the fence about your place checks your website first. Within a few seconds it should be clear how it feels, what is on the menu and how to book a table. I design and build every site myself, with custom code instead of a stock template. That makes them fast, and fast means easier to find and more bookings.
Websites
- Design in your brand, with your own photo and video
- Zenchef reservations, visible on every page
- Food menu, drinks list, events and groups
- Dutch, English and other languages, each at its own address
- Fast and easy to find: structured data for Google and AI
- Coming soon site with a waitlist ahead of an opening
- Analytics and ad tracking, set up with consent
- Hosting, maintenance and small changes
The booking button is in view on every page. Reservations run through Zenchef, which I build in for all my hospitality clients, and I connect them to your analytics. That way you can see where bookings come from: Google, Instagram or an ad.
Every page gets its own title, description and structured data that Google, ChatGPT and other AI search tools can read: opening hours, address, cuisine, menu. Each language has its own address, so tourists and expats find you too.
Opening soon, or temporarily closed? Then I build a coming soon site with a waitlist first. On opening day you already have a list of guests to invite. De Drie Linden and Ember & Table are examples.

Questions
Can I keep my own booking system?
Yes. New sites get Zenchef by default, but I can also connect Resengo, Formitable, OpenTable and other systems, styled to match your site.
How long does a website take?
A coming soon site is usually live within a week. A full site with several pages and languages takes a few weeks, depending on how quickly copy and photos are ready.
Who makes the photos and copy?
I can do all of it. I photograph your place myself and write the copy in Dutch and English. If you already have good material, I use that.
What happens after launch?
I host and maintain the site and handle small changes, like opening hours, menus or a new promotion. You don’t have to look after it yourself.
