Restaurants using Wordpress

I have done a search to find restaurant websites using wordpress and only found those I have listed at the end of this posting. I did not spend much time developing the search and probably could have found many more, since Wordpress has many features to give restaurants a sophisticated looking site, which would be easy to navigate, and yet be easy to update with changes.

From a recent article Titled “Diners Turn to Online Menus” by Angelique Soenarie, of The Arizona Republic it discusses how an increasing number of customers are turning to the convenience of ordering by using online menus. Most are going for the convenience of a delivery service too and new delivery businesses are springing up partnering with an assortment of restaurants. It seems people are just so busy these days that they are taking advantage of the convenience of online ordering and the restaurants that service this trend will increase their customers.

If you are in the restaurant business and you want to increase the reach beyond your standard customer walk in basis, consider using the internet. There is an increasing trend for customers to use it to assist them in making their lives easier.

Here are some links of different restaurant websites using wordpress:

• Santé Restaurant
• Megalos Restaurant
• Taste Restaurant
• Maeda Sushi Restaurant
• Tom’s Restaurant

Furniture Store website uses Wordpress

To support our claim that Wordpress is a website management system which can be considered for many different business website applications, we plan to post many different interesting examples for review.

For this posting the example is a Furniture Warehouse store. It is a simple example of a furniture store showing their products, giving contact information, store hours, directions to the store, and some background on the company all through a customized Wordpress managed website. The furniture products are presented through what looks like a nice photo album type plugin. It makes it easy to browse through selections of bedroom sets, home office furniture, entertainment systems, etc …

Here is a link to this furniture business site which you may find interesting.

If you think you might like to have a customized small business information site which you could manage using Wordpress tools please contact us.

Wordpress for Small Business Owners

Most small business owners are probably not looking to hire another employee to start marketing their business on the internet. They also find they do not have a lot of time to have to go and learn some new complicated computer program. They need a web site that markets their business well but allows them to quickly make small changes, like listing a new sales price or changing some words around, on their own. Wordpress offers the capability of user-friendly software that allows the site owner to edit his or her own content.

Wordpress is free blogging software which can also be used to build most any type of Web site that any authorized person can edit. Here is an example of a business site which is referenced as using wordpress but it does not have the look or feel of just being a blog. Yet, because they used Wordpress they can take advantage of the Web-based interface that makes it unnecessary to buy expensive software to make edits to a Web site. If you can use your web browser to read this article or to send email, you can make simple changes to your wordpress business website. Even if you have a professional do the initial design work, you – the business owner – can add pages, edit pages, or change photos – your choices are limitless. Pages on your conventional site can be set up as WordPress pages, or you can design your whole Web site with WordPress.

Since Wordpress is so widely used there are many resources readily available to learn more and find help on building a Wordpress site. Here is a link to a site with a whole series of freely available video tutorials on different things to do to setup Wordpress. If you have the time you might want to go through these, but again as a small business owner you most likely want to quickly get your site basically up and running to promote your business. Then you can make changes and update it as needed.

At Bellrock Internet we are focused on helping you do just that. We will get your business site up quickly using Wordpress, then we will show you how you can make changes and update your site as you want to. Please use our simple contact form if you are interested in getting started.

Wordpress for Construction & Architects

One of the business segments that could make excellent use of a Wordpress business blog for their business is in the area of construction contractors and architects. Think about it.  A blog can easily be set up as a log of accomplishments. In construction what could be more important in promoting your business than making available a multimedia version log of the work you completed.

Making this information available on the internet so that a prospective client can review it would be a great asset towards driving confidence in the work performed by the business. Also it would drive appreciation for the work, the experience, and the creativity required to accomplish the jobs done.

A wordpress blog allows one to enter information about their work in text, photos, audio, and even video for viewing by all visitors.  It is easy to work with because it does not require expensive software and training to make use of it. Other than some one time setup issues, if you can use a web browser you can maintain a wordpress blog.

It can also be used to communicate on progress of work done with clients that are not local. They can keep up on the progress done on the work and you make double use of the progress report by using it to get more clients. Since it is on the internet you may find it expanding your client base to the far reaches of the internet.

A wordpress blog website is very inexpensive to setup. Any size business can afford one. We are offering to set one up for less than $100 a year. Take advantage of what this can do for your business by using our contact form to send us an email to get started. We are ready to bring the advantages of an internet marketing presence to your business by setting up your Wordpress site.
