Francesca's Place
A warm, editorial WordPress site for a restaurant, menus, story and reservations, built to be edited without a developer.
01Overview
Francesca's Place needed a website with the personality of the restaurant itself, warm, editorial and easy for the owners to update.
02The Challenge
Restaurant sites rot because the owners can't edit them. The design had to be beautiful on the first visit and genuinely maintainable after six months.
03What I Built
- A custom WordPress theme designed around the restaurant's story and seasonal menus.
- A content model the owners could manage, menus, dishes, events, without touching code.
- Performance and local SEO basics so the site could be found, not just looked at.
04Technical Architecture
- →Custom theme with classic rendering and a structured content model.
- →Menu changes go through the editor and never require a release.
