Wix website templates are an easy way to build a professional-looking website from scratch. Whether you’re on a paid plan or using a free Wix website, these predesigned themes allow you to edit an existing (and functioning) framework seamlessly and are easy enough to use with no more than a brief tutorial.
Because different industries have different standards, the best templates for each business will vary.
Look at any restaurant’s menu or gallery, and you’ll see that the food service industry has a unique need for functionality and appearance. The theme should be easy to edit so that the site is easy to manage, since menus, galleries, and customer updates can be quite dynamic.
This fresh new template focuses on food photography and creating a playful, welcoming aesthetic.
Starting with a sharp hero image and then allowing defined blocks for menus and showcased food pictures highlight the what customers are looking for when they visit a restaurant’s website.
