A WEBSITE TEMPLATE FOR FOOD & BEV BRANDS

Whimsy

Built to show off what you do best. With plenty of spots for photos of your food, drinks, and space, Whimsy is still designed to be as easy as possible for guests to quickly access the info they’re looking for most frequently.

A built-in menu let’s new and returning guests browse and share your food & drinks at a glance, so they don’t have to dig through Yelp for the most recent menu. And don’t worry — updating it is even easier than updating your PDF menu.

  • Restaurants, cocktail bars, coffee shops, cafes, pop-up dining events, wine bars, food trucks, and private chefs.

  • Specifically designed to cut down on unnecessary calls and DMs from new guests asking where to park and what your hours are.

    Built-in menu that’s easy to update, helps your site SEO, and is a breeze for guests to navigate & share with friends.

    Completely ready to launch with professional branding built in — or customize with your own colors & fonts.

    Options to link & integrate your third-party reservation & online ordering apps.

    Copywriting guides to inspire compelling text for your site that helps you stand out in the crowd.

Customizable, easy-to-use, with support available every step of the way.

Everything you need to know about what’s included

THE FULL DETAILS

  • Delivered to you within 48-hours. Built on Squarespace 7.1 Fluid Engine — AKA the most recent, easy-to-use, and intuitive version of Squarespace yet.

  • Typically, Squarespace only gives you 2 weeks of free time to edit your site. With your template, you get 6 whole months of your free trial to prep for launch.

  • Not tech savvy? My pre-recorded video tutorials walk you through everything you need to know, step by step. Because my templates are do-it-yourself, not struggle-with-it-by-yourself.

  • As a designer and a copywriter, my templates are designed to tell strategic stories. I’ll also teach you everything you need to know about writing for your site with copywriting video tutorials — which will guide you through the exact process I use for my clients!

  • Don’t stress and don’t worry about anything going overlooked. I’ll walk you through the last minute details and give you detailed overview of SEO best practices!

  • Reach out with any questions and I’ll pop answers in your inbox within 2 business days.

what’s included

  • You’ll need a Squaresapce Business subscription. But don’t sign up yet! I’ll show you how to do it (and you’ll get a discount for your first year 😉)

  • Your website URL. If you need one, I’ll show you how to set it up (and again, you’ll get another lil discount!)

    If you already have your domain, I’ll show you how to connect it.

  • You’ll need to write your website copywriting and upload your photos. The photos provided in my templates are stock images sourced from Unsplash. You’ll need to replace with your own photos or source your own stock images.

WHAT YOU NEED

I’ve worked in the industry for almost a decade, and I really love it. Most of my favorite humans are in my life directly because of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops.

why i designed this template

I’ve seen firsthand how hectic it is to run a business in the food & beverage industry, and I know that your website is the last thing you have time to spend worrying about.

I want help make your life easier if you’re crazy enough to be putting your blood, sweat, and tears into this difficult, thankless, amazing, creative, captivating industry.

  • Sure! Though I’ve specifically designed this template with that group of folks in mind, this template can work for any service-based business. Sections and pages can be edited and customized to highlight your services, packages, skills, and more.

    If you’re still unsure whether it will be a good fit for you, feel free to shoot me an email!

  • Yes! I’ll share the details and guides for linking your third-party systems like OpenTable, Resy, Toast, and more.

  • If you already have a site on Squarespace, your template will be emailed to your Squarespace account as a new site. This is great, because it means your current website stays live while you edit and customize your template! When you’re ready to launch, just move your domain to your new site.

    If your website is on another platform (Showit, Wix, Wordpress, etc), you’ll need to create a new Squarespace account and I’ll send your template to the email that you use to create your account. When you’re ready to launch your new site, all you’ll have to do is move your domain to Squarespace.

  • Not from Elo! What you see is what you get. Your purchase includes your pre-built template, detailed instructions and video tutorials, and guides for writing your site copy & optimizing for SEO.

    You’ll have up to 6-months on Squarespace’s free trial to edit your template. To publish your website, you’ll need to set up a Squarespace Business subscription and purchase a domain name (these payments will be made directly to Squarespace).

WANT IT COMPLETELY DONE FOR YOU?

Help, I’m still feeling overwhelmed with the whole DIY thing.

All good, I get it. Just ask me how long it took me to re-design my own site (eek!)

If you already have professional photos & your brand is completely mapped out (meaning: you have a logo, a complete color system & brand fonts picked out), I can plug everything into your template for you! Then all you’ll have to do is write your copy — or, you know, hire me for that too.
