Build your first restaurant website yourself — in three or four weeks, one evening at a time.
No credit card. No sign-up. No agency proposal. You type, you choose, you watch your site take shape in real time. By the last lesson you download a real, working website and put it on the open internet.
About 12 hours of work, spread across three to four weeks. Most operators do one lesson per evening, three nights a week. Each lesson saves automatically in this browser. Sign-in is optional — only needed if you want your work on a second device.
OptionalTell us where you're starting from — we'll tailor the pacing
Three quick questions. We don't save the answers.
All these do is shape the pacing notes you see on the lesson pages — "you can skim this" vs "spend extra time here." Skip if you'd rather walk every lesson at the default pace.
Suggested pacing for you
These are suggestions, not skips. Every lesson is still listed below; the pacing is just a hint about where to invest extra attention.
First, pick where you're starting from.
This is the only decision we ask up front. After this, every lesson uses your own restaurant — your name, your cuisine, your neighborhood — as the working example. You can change your track later in any lesson.

Four modules. Sixteen lessons.
Each module is a phase of opening. The 16 lessons add up to a complete, deployable restaurant website you own, host, and control. Forked lessons split for the two tracks — every other lesson is shared.
Module 1 · Orient
What you're actually building
Why a restaurant website exists, what it actually does on a Tuesday night at 7:42pm, and the one promise yours will make.
Welcome — type and see
What a site that books tables actually does
Your one promise
Module 2 · Decide
The eight decisions
The decisions that shape every restaurant website. Naming and positioning for a fresh start; audit and triage for a rebuild.
