Web design in
Soho

Someone looking at a Soho venue on their phone may be choosing where to go tonight. We design websites that put the menu, opening times and booking route within easy reach, while giving your photography room to show what the place feels like.

Practical priorities

Put the essentials on the page — then build from there

These are the questions we would work through for this Soho brief. The final scope depends on your current site and how the business operates.

Put the essentials on the page

Keep current hours, address and menu links easy to find on a small screen. Agree who updates seasonal menus and temporary closures.

Check the booking handover

Follow the journey into your reservation provider. Visitors should know whether they have made a confirmed booking or only sent a request.

Give private hire its own route

Explain capacity and available formats using figures your team has approved. Ask for the date and outline of the event once the initial enquiry reaches you.

The website brief

A venue website that works before the visit

Soho sits in central London and brings together dining, shopping and entertainment. For an independent venue here, the website has a practical job alongside its visual identity: help someone decide whether the experience suits their plans. We would separate everyday bookings from private hire, make menus readable without a download and explain any booking conditions before the visitor leaves for another platform. The brief starts with your actual operation, not assumptions about what every Soho business needs.

What to bring

Bring your current menus, booking provider details and photographs you have permission to use. Include the questions staff repeatedly answer before a booking.

How to check the result

Try finding a menu and making a test reservation from a phone. Then check a private-hire enquiry reaches the right person without appearing to confirm availability.

Connect the menu to the right action

Our Grill & Thrill case study describes a native ordering app connected to kitchen operations. It is genuine Xapner hospitality work, not a Soho venue website or a table-booking case study.

For a restaurant website, keep reservations, takeaway orders and private-hire enquiries distinct. A menu update should have a named owner and a check against any downloadable copy or third-party ordering platform.

Before getting started

Questions about this project

A few details worth settling before design or development begins.

Can our current reservation system stay?

Usually we can link to it or assess its supported integration. We check mobile behaviour and account access before recommending extra software.

Do we need a PDF menu?

You can offer a downloadable copy, but a readable webpage makes the essentials easier to use on a phone. Keep both versions consistent if you publish both.

How do we start a project in Soho?

Use the short form below, email or WhatsApp to describe the work. We review the brief remotely and agree deliverables, responsibilities and costs before starting. Any third-party subscriptions or ongoing support need to be included in that discussion.
