Originally, the website featured a menu that was fully editable by a manager, an admin section, login/logout forms, and a photo gallery. Since COVID, I have been very active in setting up multiple takeout menus and shopping carts. Due to the changing landscape of restaurant and retail, their website can hide and show various menus based on what is ‘safe’ at the moment. So, the ability to make a reservation, display a dine-in menu, or a takeout menu, or special menus like Valentine’s Day, or the Superbowl, can all be shown or hidden. I have also set up a form for reservations. They can also change the notices that pop up when you arrive at the site so that they don’t have to hire me every time they want to make an announcement.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">The last website that I built was for a recording studio in Nanton, Alberta (<a href="http://www.steveloree.com/" moz-do-not-send="true" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193); text-decoration: underline;" class="">www.steveloree.com</a>). He wanted a very basic site that showcased his multiple talents/services, previous projects that he has worked on, contact page etc. I’m pretty happy with it.
