Why we started Catamaran
I kept finding incredible restaurants with websites that let them down.
I’d walk into a neighborhood spot with unbelievable food and warm, genuine service — then look them up online and find a slow, broken, decade-old page that said none of that. The website wasn’t just outdated. It was actively costing them customers who judged the place before ever walking in.
The owners aren’t the problem. They’re busy running a real business, and the tools to build, launch, and maintain a great site are still a headache if you’re not technical. So I decided to handle that part for them — entirely.
That’s Catamaran Studios: a great website for every business that deserves one, with none of the work falling on the owner.
— Patrick, founder
“Everyone deserves a website that represents them — at a price that makes sense, with zero hassle, fully flexible, and genuinely theirs.”
Our brand vision
Everything’s included
One simple plan. We handle all of it.
Not a tool you have to learn. A team that does it for you — and treats your website like our own.
Unlimited edits, same-day
New menu? Holiday hours? A typo? Text us and it’s done — usually within hours, 7 days a week. You never touch a dashboard.
A partner, not a vendor
Think of us as your website concierge. One person who knows your business and actually picks up — not a ticket queue.
Your brand, your way
Colors, fonts, photos, tone — your site looks like you, not a template. Want a refresh next season? Just ask.
Fast & found on Google
Under 3 seconds to load, built to rank in search and Maps — with your best reviews, hours, and one-tap directions wired in so customers act.
Hosting & domain, handled
We host it, secure it (HTTPS), keep it online, and manage the domain. No bills to juggle, nothing to renew.
You always own your content
Your photos, your words, your domain — yours. No lock-in. Cancel anytime and we hand everything over.
How it works
You see it before you pay a cent.
01
We build you a free preview
Send us your site (or your Google listing if you don’t have one). Within 24 hours, we send back a complete redesign — your menu, photos, and story, rebuilt beautifully. No cost, no obligation.
02
You take a look and tweak
Love it? Want the hero photo swapped or the colors warmer? Tell us. We adjust until it feels unmistakably like your place.
03
We make it live
On your own domain or one we host for you — we walk you through every step. It goes live, typically within 24 hours.
04
We handle it forever
Edits, hosting, speed, security, seasonal refreshes — all included. You get back to running your business.
Your website address
Use your own domain, or let us host it. Either is easy.
Whatever you choose, we walk you through the entire process — no jargon, no homework.
Option 1
Connect your own domain
Already have yourrestaurant.com? Keep it. We point it to your new site and handle every technical step — DNS, HTTPS, email forwarding — so nothing breaks and you keep the address your customers already know.
Option 2
Let us host it for you
No domain, no problem. We’ll host your site on a clean, professional address and keep it online and secure. Want your own domain later? We’ll register it and move you over whenever you’re ready.
More than a website
It's your site — we can build whatever you need.
We're not a template. Want online ordering, reservations, event signups, or a gift-card page? Just ask — we build it in, and it stays commission-free.
Online ordering that keeps what you earn
Take orders on your own site — no 15–30% delivery-app commission. Even moving your regulars to direct ordering puts thousands back in your pocket a year.
Orders straight to your kitchen
If you're on Square or Clover, online orders land right where your in-person ones do. No new tablet, no re-typing tickets.
Reservations, events & more
Event signups, reservations, gift cards, a private-dining inquiry form — if you can describe it, we can build it into your site.

Measured, not claimed
The site we replaced took 23.6 seconds to load.
Ours loads in about 3.1. That's not a slogan — it's Google Lighthouse, run on the real sites, and the full report is published on every one of them.
Time until the page is actually usable
Why that decides whether they walk in:
53%
of mobile visits are abandoned if a page takes longer than 3 seconds to load.
Google / SOASTA research ↗1 in 3
smartphone purchases go to a business other than the one intended, because it was easier to reach.
Google ↗Pricing
One plan. Everything included.
A web agency charges $3,000–$8,000 to build a site, then leaves you to maintain it. The big restaurant platforms run $249–$499 a month. We build yours free and look after it for $129/mo — less than your monthly linen bill.

Questions, answered.
Do I need to be technical at all?+
Not even a little. You never log into anything. You text or email us what you want changed, and we do it. That’s the whole point.
What if I already have a website?+
Great — we’ll rebuild it faster, cleaner, and mobile-friendly, and keep everything worth keeping (your photos, copy, reviews, even your blog). We can move it to your existing domain so nothing breaks.
What if I don’t have a website yet?+
Perfect time to start. We’ll build one from your Google listing and photos, and host it for you on a clean address. You can connect a custom domain whenever you’re ready.
Can I cancel?+
Anytime, no contract. Your content and domain are yours — if you ever leave, we hand everything over.
How fast are changes, really?+
Most edits are done the same day, often within a couple of hours. We treat your website like it’s our own storefront.
Who owns the website?+
You do. The content, the photos, the domain — all yours. We’re the team that maintains it, not the gatekeeper.
Can you add online ordering, reservations, or other integrations?+
Yes. Beyond the website itself, we can wire in online ordering, reservations, gift cards, and other custom integrations. Tell us what you need and we’ll scope it with you.
