EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. Web Design doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try Web Design” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Portland restaurants & f&b is a different game.
We’ve run Web Design here. We know what it takes.
Your website loses 60% of hungry customers before they call.
Portland's restaurant scene is vibrant but digitally fragmented. Most establishments compete on Yelp and TripAdvisor, ceding control of their customer data and pricing power. Delivery and catering searches remain invisible to most Portland restaurant websites. The restaurants that own their web presence—capturing email, controlling narrative, and ranking for local intent—outperform their Yelp-dependent competitors by 3–4x in customer retention and AOV.
The 3 places Portland restaurants & f&b brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 restaurants & f&b brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
60% of web visitors bounced before viewing the menu. No email capture. Catering inquiries went to voicemail because the website had no catering page. Lost ~$12,000/month in bookable catering revenue to competitors with better search visibility.
Built dedicated catering landing page optimized for 'private events Portland,' 'corporate catering,' and 'wedding venues Portland' (40 new ranked keywords)

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time Web Design has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
You own a website that converts hungry diners into regular customers, generates a proprietary email list of 500+ subscribers in month one (scaling to 3,000+ within 12 months), and ranks for high-intent delivery and catering searches. Your customer acquisition cost drops 40%, repeat customer revenue increases, and Yelp becomes one channel, not your entire strategy.
Audit Your Digital Baseline
We analyze your current website, Yelp presence, and search visibility for delivery/catering keywords. We identify where customers drop off and which revenue streams your site ignores. This includes competitive benchmarking against top-performing Portland restaurants in your category.
Design Conversion-First Architecture
We build a site map and wireframes optimized for your customer journey: discovery → exploration → reservation/order → email capture. Every page targets a specific intent: 'delivery near me,' 'private events Portland,' 'happy hour menu,' etc. Design reflects Portland's aesthetic and your brand voice.
Build & Optimize for Search + Conversions
We develop a fast, mobile-first site with on-page SEO for delivery, catering, and local queries. We integrate email capture flows, reservation/ordering systems, and Google Business Profile optimization. Every page is tested for load speed and conversion friction.
Launch & Build Your Email Foundation
We deploy the site, migrate your existing traffic, and set up automated email sequences (welcome, menu updates, special events, win-back campaigns). We seed your list with existing customers and create in-venue opt-in tactics (QR codes, check-in incentives).
Monitor, Test & Grow
We track conversion rates, search rankings, and email performance. Monthly reporting shows which keywords, pages, and offers convert best. We recommend A/B tests, content updates, and SEO expansions to reduce Yelp dependency and grow email list to 10%+ of annual diners within 12 months.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“Page load went from 4.8 seconds to under 1.2. The SEO impact was visible within weeks. Speed isn't just a UX issue — it's a revenue issue. They understood that.”

“We had a 68% mobile drop-off rate. After the redesign, 31%. If your agency can't tell you your mobile conversion rate, get a new one.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long does it take to build a website and see search results?
Website build takes 8–12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Initial SEO wins (top 10 rankings for medium-difficulty keywords) appear within 4–8 weeks of launch. Full competitive keyword rankings and email list growth take 6–12 months, but the trajectory is visible in month 2–3. Catering and delivery pages often rank fastest because the competition in Portland for these keywords is lower.
Will this website replace my Yelp presence or hurt my ratings?
No. Your Yelp profile stays active and important. We reduce your *dependency* on Yelp by giving you owned channels (email, organic search, direct traffic). A well-designed website actually strengthens your Yelp presence because diners discover you via your site, then leave positive reviews. Many of our clients see Yelp ratings improve because satisfied repeat customers (built via email) are more likely to review.
What if I already have a website? Do you rebuild from scratch?
Not always. We audit your current site first. If the foundation is solid, we often optimize, redesign the front-end, and add conversion systems (email, CRM, catering flows). A full rebuild happens only if the underlying code, speed, or architecture are limiting growth. Rebuilds typically cost less than you'd expect because we reuse content, product data, and customer feedback.
How do you capture email addresses? Won't customers find it intrusive?
We use strategic, value-driven opt-in flows: welcome discounts ('10% off your next visit'), menu updates for regulars, early access to events, and win-back campaigns for lapsed customers. When done right, customers appreciate it—they get exclusive benefits, and you get direct communication. We test placement, messaging, and incentive level to maximize signup without killing conversions.
I'm already spending $3,500/month on digital marketing (social media, ads, etc.). How does web design fit in?
Your website is the conversion engine for all that spend. If you're paying $3,500/month for social and ads but your website converts at 1%, you're wasting 50–70% of ad budget. A conversion-optimized website reduces your cost-per-customer by 40–60%, or increases revenue from the same spend by 60–100%. Web design and ads are a package; we make sure every dollar of ad spend lands on a site that closes the sale.
