What's included
A menu that loads instantly on a phone
The single most important thing on a restaurant website, built properly rather than as an afterthought.
Tap-to-call on mobile
Most Thunder Bay customers find you on a phone. Calling you should never take more than one tap.
Your service area, stated
The towns and neighbourhoods you actually cover around Thunder Bay, named so nobody has to guess.
Google Business Profile linked
Set up or connected properly, which for a Thunder Bay local business usually matters more than the site itself.
Fast on mobile data
Photos resized and optimised, so the page loads in about a second on a phone.
Yours to keep
Domain registered in your name, content yours, and no contract on the care plan.
Why hosting matters for a local business
Slow or unreliable hosting costs enquiries: most visitors leave a page that takes more than a few seconds to load on mobile data.
- Pages served close to your customers.
- HTTPS and security updates handled.
- Daily backups.
- No surprise renewal prices.
What Thunder Bay restaurants need on a website
Above everything else, a menu that loads instantly on a phone.
- 1The menu and prices — this is what they check first.
- 2Whether you are open now.
- 3Reservations.
- 4Directions.
The hesitation that stops most enquiries in this trade is not being able to read the menu before deciding. A site that answers it plainly, before anyone has to ask, converts noticeably better than one that does not.
Competing as a restaurant in Thunder Bay
This market is winnable. Many competing businesses have weak or neglected online presence, so getting the basics right — accurate listings, real photos, consistent reviews — often puts you ahead of established names.
For restaurant owners in Thunder Bay, the practical question is whether a customer searching right now can find you, see a menu that loads instantly on a phone, and contact you in one tap. Most competing sites in this trade fail at least one of those.
Covering the Thunder Bay area
Customers often search by neighbourhood or nearby town rather than by city name. Whatever your actual coverage around Thunder Bay is, name those places on your site rather than leaving people to guess.
- Name the specific towns and neighbourhoods you serve around Thunder Bay.
- State any travel charge for the edges of your area, before someone enquires.
- Do not create a separate near-identical page for every suburb — it performs worse than one honest area list.
- Make sure your Google Business Profile service area matches what the site says.
What it costs and how long it takes
A starter site for a restaurant starts at $749 and is usually live in about a week. Pricing on your own site is normally shown as per dish, shown on the menu.
| Option | Cost | Live in |
|---|---|---|
| One-page site | $349 – $549 | About 1 week |
| Starter site, 4–6 pages | $749 – $1,290 | 1–2 weeks |
| Care plan (optional) | $49 – $99 / month | Ongoing |
The domain is registered in your name, you own the content, and the care plan is rolling monthly with no contract. If you decide you do not need a website yet, we will tell you that too.

Frequently asked questions
Can I move my existing website to your hosting?
Usually, yes. If the current site is worth keeping we move it; if it is slow or hard to update, a rebuild is often cheaper in the long run.
How much does a restaurant website cost in Thunder Bay?
From $749 for a one-page site and $749 to $1,290 for a starter site of four to six pages. Hosting and support are optional at $49 to $99 a month, rolling monthly with no contract.
Do you work with restaurant owners outside Thunder Bay?
Yes — we work remotely with businesses across Canada and internationally. Everything is done over email, phone and a preview link, so location is not a constraint.
How long will it take?
About a week for a one-page site and one to two weeks for a starter site, from the point you send photos, services and hours. The main thing that slows projects down is waiting on photos.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the content is yours, and you can move it elsewhere at any time. We do not hold sites hostage on a support plan.
Will this get me to the top of Google in Thunder Bay?
Nobody can promise that, and be careful of anyone who does. For local searches, your Google Business Profile and your reviews matter more than the website. We set the profile up properly as part of the build.
