We have a lot of success in our restaurant but unfortunately, not so much online. The reason for that was because our website was outdated a lot of customers would complain about it being hard to use and understand. So, I was asked by my boss to find someone who would make our website more accessible and attractive so customers could order online as well and avail our online offers. I decided to go with your website because I had checked out your previous work and reviews and they were mostly good. After the discussion regarding what we wanted, the designer had begun our project and delivered us a good layout of the website but it wasn’t the most easy to handle. After a few more revisions, we were happy with the result and launched it. We have been receiving a lot of compliments thanks to you guys!custom logo design
