SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE
FAMILY RESTAURANT WEBSITE
A local, family-owned restaurant needs a standout online presence to attract new customers, showcase their menu, and handle online bookings or takeout orders.
Your mission:
Design and build a fully functional restaurant website using Wix Studio that makes people hungry—and turns curious visitors into loyal customers.
You choose the cuisine. Just make it look irresistible, work beautifully on mobile, and feel so real we’d want to book a table or order takeout on the spot.
The Brief:
-
Built in Wix Studio
-
Responsive design (desktop + mobile)
-
Homepage with clear CTA (book/order)
-
CMS driven menu (so the client can easily edit and update)
-
Table reservation system or online ordering integration (or both)
Want bonus points? Add smooth hover effects, animation, or a branded touch.

THE BRIEF
BUILD A RESTAURANT WEBSITE WITH CMS MENU + BOOKINGS
The Client Scenario
Meet Rosa & Leo. They run The Good Fork, a cozy, family-owned restaurant that’s been serving their community for over a decade.
They’ve built a loyal local following through word of mouth and great food — but online? They’re still relying on an outdated Facebook page with a broken phone number.
Submission Deadline: September 26 @ 11:59pm MT
Rosa emails you:
“We need a real website that actually shows people who we are. Our food, our vibe. A menu that’s easy to update, a way to take bookings or orders, and something that works great on mobile.”
What they want:
-
A simple way to manage their menu without tech headaches
-
A site that feels warm, modern, and real (like the restaurant)
-
A way for customers to reserve a table or order takeout
-
Something they can proudly link to from Instagram
Your Mission
Build a restaurant website using Wix Studio + CMS that makes people want to book a table (or place an order) right now.
It should feel custom, well-branded, mobile-friendly, and easy to navigate — like something a real restaurant would happily use.
You’re free to choose the cuisine and concept. Maybe it’s inspired by your own culture, a favorite local spot from your hometown, or simply something you’d be excited to design and build. Just make it feel real.
Must Include:
-
CMS-powered digital menu
-
Responsive layout (desktop + mobile)
-
Homepage with clear CTA (book/order)
-
Table booking or online ordering system
-
Strong visual design that reflects your chosen cuisine
HELPFUL TIPS
FEATURES TO SHOWCASE
Use CMS for the Menu
Use a CMS collection to build an easy-to-update menu—think categories like appetizers, mains, drinks, and desserts. Add fields for dietary tags, prices, and descriptions so the restaurant owner (or you!) can update it without breaking anything.
Design for the Vibe
Match the design to your chosen cuisine. Make it look and feel like a real place you’d visit.
Prioritize Mobile UX
Assume users are hungry and on their phones. Make the key info—menu, hours, order/book—immediately clear and accessible.
Make Actions Obvious
Add a booking form or online ordering. Use Wix Studio tools and automate confirmations if you can.
Don’t Overbuild
Keep it simple, fast, and user-friendly. Clarity beats cleverness.
Real Client Sites Allowed (with Effort)
You can submit a real restaurant site you built—but show us what you’ve done. Update the menu, rebrand it, or walk us through the changes. No lazy uploads.
Portfolio-Worthy Work
Build something you’d be proud to show a client—or even use to pitch your dream restaurant. This could be your new calling card.
