Website for caterers
A catering site that books corporate accounts.
Built for caterers. Instant-quote estimator on the homepage, sample menus by event type, and an inquiry form that captures the date, venue, and budget so every proposal isn't a custom song and dance.
You do the work. Your website should do the selling.
You didn't start a business to babysit a website. You started it to do the job, and keep the phone ringing while you're out doing it. But most catering business websites just sit there: slow to load, buried under competitors, and silent when a ready-to-book customer finally lands on them.
That's not your fault. You were sold a brochure when what you needed was a booking machine, a page whose only job is to turn a click into a call.
Sound familiar?
Most catering business websites have the same four problems.
-
Every quote is a custom proposal
Headcount, menu negotiation, dietary swaps, venue logistics. You spend 90 minutes on a proposal that might book. The math doesn't work.
-
Corporate accounts shop on EZCater
You're not on EZCater or CaterCow, so you're invisible to the office manager ordering 40 lunches. The site should be the answer, but it doesn't show pricing or speed.
-
Wedding clients vet you for 20 minutes
They want to see real events, real menus, real testimonials with the venue name. Your site has stock photos and a contact form. They book the caterer who shows up.
-
Inquiry form gives you nothing useful
Name, email, message. No date, no headcount, no budget. You email back asking the same five questions every time. Half don't reply.
What we build
Five views of the same catering site we ship: homepage, quote estimator, menus, gallery, and the inquiry form.

Built for speed. Measured by the tools that matter.
What we routinely hit on the websites we ship. Static-first, served from a global CDN.
With the right website, double your leads from day one.
The day your new site goes live, the same traffic starts converting into calls and booked jobs. Here is what that looks like.
Same traffic, same ad spend. Roughly 2x the booked jobs once the page is built to convert instead of just exist.
Illustrative trajectory. Real numbers depend on your market and traffic.
We ship your website in 7 days.
Most agencies quote 6-8 weeks. We ship in a week because the design system and SEO setup are already built. You bring photos + pricing. We bring the rest.
- Day 1: 30-minute call. Menus, per-person rates, photos, done.
- Day 2-5: We build the site, write the copy, set up local SEO.
- Day 6: You review, we tweak.
- Day 7: Live on your domain. Booking inquiries.
Same money. Three very different phone bills.
There are three ways to spend this budget. A DIY builder gets you a pretty page that doesn't convert, and a weekend you'll never get back. A typical agency gets you a 12-month contract, a change queue, and a site you don't actually own. We get you a booking machine: live in a week, changed in a day, yours forever.

Why us
We've built sites for service businesses for over a decade. We know what gets a corporate buyer to book a $4000 lunch and what gets a bride to send an inquiry. Most agencies hand you a pretty site and disappear. We build the site that converts the lunch drop-off and the wedding inquiry, and we stick around when you want a tweak.
No 12-month contracts. No retainers. You pay for the build, we hand you the keys, and we're available when you need a change. You own the site, the domain, and every lead. If you fire us, none of it leaves with us.
Ultra-fast updates. Most edits we do for clients ship inside 24 hours. Need a new service area today? Done. Reviews badge added? Done before lunch.
Pricing
Pricing on the page. No quotes, no proposals.

Before you book a call, get a free 30-minute video walkthrough of a live catering business website we built. We screen-record the whole thing and show you how the lead capture, the booking flow, and the local SEO actually work, so you can decide on your own time.
You only pay if it books jobs. You see a real site we built turn clicks into calls before you spend a cent. And if the finished site doesn't feel right, or it isn't bringing you customers, you don't pay. The risk is ours, because we've done this enough to know how it ends.

Questions catering business owners ask before they buy
The things people email us most when they're deciding.
How long does it take to build?
7 days from the kickoff call. We do the design, copy, and SEO. You provide menus, per-person pricing, and event photos. Sign-off on day 6, live on day 7.
What does it cost?
Two tiers, $2399 for a standard catering site and $7500 for the elite version (more pages, instant-quote estimator with custom rules, deeper SEO, ongoing support). Full breakdown is on the get-website page.
Will it actually rank on Google?
Yes for local searches. "Corporate catering [your city]" and "wedding caterer [your city]" are winnable in 60-90 days with decent reviews. National "best caterer" is not the goal, local intent is.
What if I already have a website?
We rebuild it. The old one stays live until launch day, then we cut over. Zero downtime, all existing search rankings carry forward via 301 redirects.
Can you set up Google Ads too?
Yes, but separately. The website build doesn't include ads management. We'll point you at the right ads service when you're ready.
Can the quote estimator handle complex pricing?
Yes. Per-person rates by event type, dietary upcharges, staffing add-ons, delivery zones. We set up the rules with you on day 1. It's a ballpark, not a final invoice, but it qualifies the lead before they hit the form.
