Your site.
Live tomorrow.
Below is a plain-English look at what your current site does well, what it does poorly, and what we would change.
Your website today vs. what it could be.
We built this preview from everything already on your site, reorganized, redesigned, and priced to own outright.
- Your menus are PDF and image files
When someone clicks Menu they get linked off to images. On a phone, that means tapping, waiting for a 4MB PNG, pinching to zoom, scrolling around. Fewer people stick with it than read inline text. Inline menu text would also help Google show your dishes in search.
- Your three locations sit in a list
North, South, West. Three rooms, forty years between them. The current site presents them as one paragraph in a footer. They deserve their own treatment, with hours, photos, and direct dial each.
- Forty years is the headline. It is missing.
Archie's opened December 1985. That is the strongest line in your story. The current homepage does not lead with it. A 40-year stamp belongs in the hero.
- WordPress and large image assets
Some menu PNGs on the site are over 4 MB. Mobile customers on data plans wait for them to load. WordPress also needs constant security and plugin updates that are easy to miss.
- The design looks out of date
Customers decide whether to trust a business in under 5 seconds, and they use the website to do it. A dated look makes an excellent business look like it's not paying attention.
- WordPress needs constant upkeep
WordPress sites break. Plugins stop working. Security patches pile up. If nobody's maintaining it, it eventually goes down or gets hacked, and you usually find out from a customer.
- Forty-year heritage in the hero
A 40-year stamp, the December 1985 establishment date, three-locations-one-kitchen narrative, all in the first scroll.
- Three locations, properly featured
Each location gets its own card with hours, address, dial, and a directions link. North, South, West, treated as the institutions they are.
- Your menus, readable on a phone
Inline text menus, organized by section. No 4 MB PNGs. Search engines can read them too, which means Google starts showing your menu in search results.
- A site that actually looks like a real business
Modern design that matches how your business actually feels, not a clicked-together template that looks like everyone else's.
- Works perfectly on phones
Most people looking for you are on a phone. This site is built for phones first, then tablets, then laptops, in that order.
- Everything you already have, better organized
Your hours, your services, your photos, your prices, your booking link, your menu, all of it, in one clean place that people can actually find.
- Fast, secure, and runs itself
Hosted on Cloudflare, the same network that powers Shopify and Discord. Always online, always secure, always fast. No plugins to update.
- You own it. Pay once. Forever.
$250 one time. No monthly fees for hosting. No subscription. No lock-in. The site is yours to keep, forever.

You pay once. You own the website. Hosting is $0 per month. No monthly fees, no subscription, no surprise renewal email. If you ever stop using Launchpad, nothing happens, the site stays yours.
The monthly fees you'd be paying elsewhere.
Most website builders charge you every single month. The day you stop paying, your website is gone. Here's what that actually looks like over a year:
Your site can be live by tomorrow.
