Hi, welcome, everybody. Today I'm going to show you how to make a simple Chinese restaurant website using Mighty Sites. So if you're unfamiliar with Mighty Sites, it's only $9 a month. There are tons of different themes here for all types of small businesses. All you have to do is pick your theme, and you can instantly generate a website for your business. So I'm going to go in here. I'm going to type in a Chinese restaurant. Here's the template right here. So I'm going to click on that and select it. Then I'm just going to put in Keegan's Chinese restaurant, and we'll say, located in Denver, Colorado. And then the type of business is a restaurant. So then I'm going to click continue. Let me type in here my phone number. Perfect. I can type in my email address as well. So let's get those things squared away and click continue.
Start By Entering Business Info
The last thing it will ask me for, or second to last, is my address. So I enter where my restaurant's located and, put in my zip code, click continue. Now it's going to ask me for my hours. Let's say I'm open from, let's say, I open at 9:30 AM and close at 8:00 PM, and those are my hours during the week. Let's include Sunday too. Then continue. What time do I open up Friday? Let's say I'm open a little earlier, eight until 11:00 PM, on Friday and Saturday. Get that late-night crowd. So here we go. Now my information is there. I've got my hours, I've got basic information, I'm going to click, looks good next. And just like that, the Mighty Site system will generate a simple professional website for my Chinese food restaurant business.
Generate The Chinese Restaurant Website Template
So you can see just like that. Now I have a website, so it was super easy to do that and get started. I can click on it right here and change the colors to any color palette I want. There are all types of different color themes available here. So you can choose the one that works best for your business, and it'll automatically adjust the colors. You can edit any of these sections you want. Let's say you have a Facebook page for your Chinese restaurant. Just put in facebook.com, and I'll you would enter in the copy you and paste your social links. And now my Facebook page icon is on the top right. I could go over this section. I could update the menu and edit or change any menu items. I can update my location information. I suggest showing my email on the site.
Upload Your Restaurant's Website
I can do that easily. I can go over here to update the logo, and if I want, I can browse and upload a logo for my computer. If I still need one, I recommend you go to canva.com. It's super easy to use. You can select the logo, and then you can choose from all the elements. I would select, let's see Chinese Restaurant
And then, I'll share that and download it to my computer as a jpeg. It's always a better way to go. So I'll download this, and then all I need to do is go over here, browse, upload it for my computer, and see how quick and easy that was. Now I have a logo for my business just like that. And Canva's cheap, too, so save it. And now, I can make it bigger using these tools, or I can make my logo smaller just by clicking on these buttons. I will click this little pencil here because I want to crop it. I'm going to crop it down like this. So all these editing tools are built right into Mighty Sites too. I'm going to get rid of the background color as well. Just make it white. I could fine-tune, put a frame around it, or do any of these tools. They're all built in for you to use when editing logos or text.
I'm going like that for now, and then click save. And so there, I like the look of my logo now and then, you know, I can make it bigger, smaller, pretty good size. So I'm just going to save that close this section. So now I've got an excellent website with my contact information and logo. I can go over here, and I can update this. I can browse and change the photo if I want to change the image. If I want to change any of this text, I can. Maybe, I want this to say instead of authentic. I'll say delicious. Cut it down. Just delicious Chinese cuisine. And then so, I can edit the text like that. But if it all looks good, I can leave it as is.
Link To Online Ordering
If I have online ordering, I can link to it here. So I can link to another website. So if you use DoorDash, Uber Eats, or you have Toast, or you have an online ordering that you use, you can link to that from there. It makes it simple and easy to link to your online order. You can also link to another section of your website. You can upload your menu and link to it there. Or maybe you want people to call the place in order. You can put in that so that when they click on it, it calls your business and change this to call to order. So it's really easy. And now that button says call to order. And if somebody's on their phone, they can click on that and call your Chinese restaurant to order their food.
Edit The Call-To-Action Buttons On Your Website
Here. You can always go in here and update the direct change or any of this. By default, it's going to be directions. So if I click on this, it will open in Google Maps, which is nice. So people can drive right to your business. You can update the hours here. You can update your location information, which will automatically reflect on the site. If you want to use pictures from the inside or outside of your restaurant, you can also swap these out. And then, we usually recommend uploading your menu right here. So you could call that view our menu or just menu, whatever works best for your business. So I'll call that view our menu. I like that. And then, you would choose a link. Most people have a pdf, but if your menu is located elsewhere on your Google Business profile or on the web, you can also link to that.
Upload Your Chinese Restaurant Menu
But I'm just going to upload a pdf. I've got an example menu here. So if your menu's a pdf, you upload it here. You click on confirm, save and Close. And now, if I click right here, you can see that it loads my menu. So it makes it easy for your customers to find your business now. Now they can click for directions to open on their phone. They can click to call you to place an order, or they can click to view your menu right here from your website, which makes it simple and easy to use. Now, if you want to update any of this information, I want to type in this a Chinese restaurant website template. Just type that in right there and click save close, and you can see that the text is right there.
Launch Your New Website For Your Chinese Restaurant
So again, editing images and text links, it's all super easy to do. And once you're done, you can click on stop editing, and go to your site dashboard. You can update anything here and then connect your domain. So if you have a domain from GoDaddy, google domains domain.com, or anything like that, it's really simple and easy to go in here pacing your domain. And you'll get instructions for what you need to do to update it with your domain registrar—simple instructions to provide for them. If you call them, they'll help you connect it. And then, you can always log in at any time to go back and check out your website, update any information, or text the site.
