SERVICES
Website rebuild, menu navigation, photo gallery, mobile optimization, and local SEO
— THE CHALLENGE
Two menus were getting lost in one unclear experience.
Bobby’s Barrel serves home-style breakfast and comfort food alongside a full pizza menu. The old website blurred those offerings together, making it difficult for new visitors to understand the restaurant. Slow loading added friction to that first visit.
Home-style food and pizza lacked distinct menu paths
New visitors struggled to understand the restaurant
Mobile PageSpeed scored 48 before the rebuild
Average load time was 4.9 seconds
Both menus needed clear visual presentation
Local searches covered both breakfast and pizza
— HOW WE WORKED
How the Bobby’s Barrel website was rebuilt
The rebuild organized the two menus, showcased the food, and improved the experience for local mobile visitors.
01
Clear menu paths
Gave the home-style menu and pizza menu separate navigation paths within one website.
02
Food photography
Added a gallery to show guests what both sides of the menu offer.
03
