What a catering company website needs to do
A catering website should help a planner decide quickly. Show sample menus and package types, say what you cover, such as setup, staff and service, and make the quote request short enough to finish on a phone.
Corporate and wedding clients want different things. A separate page for each, with its own sample menus and its own wording, makes both groups feel you are the right fit and keeps the quote form from being generic.
People searching for a catering company usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
Request a quote
A short form with date and headcount
See sample menus
Packages for events
Learn what is included
Setup, staff and service
See past events
Photos you own
Timing matters. Wedding season and the holiday party period are busiest, so keep availability notes and lead times current.
The pages a catering company website needs
A catering company site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Home with quote button
- ✓Menus and packages
- ✓Weddings
- ✓Corporate events
- ✓Gallery — photos of events
- ✓About us — your team and approach
- ✓Contact and quote request
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
Mistakes we see on catering company websites
- ✓One generic page for all events — planners cannot picture their event
- ✓Quote form too long — people abandon it
- ✓No mention of service area — clients are unsure you travel
- ✓Photos of food only — no sense of the event itself
Getting found: SEO basics for a catering company
- ✓Name the town and event types — "catering company for weddings in your town"
- ✓A page per event type — weddings, corporate, parties
- ✓Short FAQ — minimums, lead time and dietary needs

Websites are priced one-time, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks and A/B testing.
