Websites That Need A Menu
-
If you are a restaurant, cafe, caterer, food truck or bar and need a menu online, ask them how they put the menu online. If they tell you they will put an image or pdf file of your menu on the website because it is easier to update, then you might want to re-consider. Search engines cannot read image files or pdf files, thus the text of the menu is not visible to them. Additionally images and pdf files do not work well on mobile phones and often frustrates user when trying to view the menus.
Finally The Cost
Of course you must ask what the total cost for the website will be and any monthly charges.. That includes design, hosting, maintenance and changes, contact support charges, SEO, etc.
