Now that you have defined the goals of your restaurant, and target audience, you can define basic design elements of a restaurant website.

First, let’s talk colors. If you have been checking out the competition, you have probably seen that the most commonly used colors are black, white, green and brown, red and yellow. High-end, sophisticated restaurants use black most commonly to emphasize the elegance and beauty of their dishes. Restaurants that serve organic and vegan food use green. Fast-food chains tend to choose red and yellow (just think of McDonald’s or KFC).

We are not going to tell which colors you should choose for your business. Instead, we are just going to mention that, If you need help with defining the colors, you can check out the article in which we covered the best color schemes for restaurant websites.

You can start with modifying the Title, Taglines, the number of Pages, URL structure, the number of Categories, etc. When it comes to this part, we’ll let you discover all the charms of working with WordPress. 🙂
