Spotty Media plans, builds and manages websites for Sheffield restaurants, hotels, pubs, bars and venues so guests can find the right information and take the next step. We bring menus, rooms, events, photographs and booking routes into a website the team can keep current after launch.
A Kelham Island bar may need to show its drinks, atmosphere and events clearly on mobile. A city-centre hotel has to make rooms, dining and private events easy to compare without losing the route to its booking engine. We scope the website around those different guest decisions, not a generic template.
We can build a new site, redevelop an established one or manage an existing website. WordPress, Shopify, Wix and Squarespace are considered according to the brief, integrations and how the venue wants to manage content. Pricing and timing are agreed for each project.
Why It Matters
Guests should be able to understand the offer, find practical details and reach the right booking or enquiry route without piecing everything together from social posts. Menus, rooms and event details also need an editing approach that works for the venue’s team.
The Numbers
A restaurant website can support discovery, product sales and marketing sign-ups. These UK consumer findings help explain those opportunities; they do not measure website conversion rates or predict sales.
Source: SevenRooms, 2025 UK Restaurant Industry Trends, pages 6, 26 and 17 respectively, based on 1,000 UK consumers. Willingness to buy or sign up is not a completed purchase or subscription. Findings relate to restaurants, not all hospitality businesses.
Our website work ranges from new builds to re-platforming established sites. These examples show the different requirements behind each project.
New website build. We built a website covering Tin of Sardines’ Roker and Durham venues, presenting the different offers within one site. The project also included functionality for selling gift vouchers online.
New website and booking functions. We designed and built a new site with online bookings for Gin Tasting Experiences and a system for purchasing and delivering gift vouchers.
Website redevelopment. We re-platformed sō-lō’s website from its previous framework into Elementor and took over its hosting. The work brought the site’s presentation, information and navigation closer to the restaurant’s identity.
Website design, build and hosting. For this Yorkshire restaurant with rooms, we created a new website with information about the food, accommodation and surrounding area. The project formed part of wider marketing support for the venue.
At Spotty Media, we create powerful digital marketing strategies that help hospitality businesses stand out and attract more customers. Book a free consultation today and let’s take your brand to the next level.
We discuss the venue, current site, guest questions, booking provider, content and who will maintain the site. Design and imagery should represent the real experience. We test mobile routes, forms and booking handoffs before launch, and plan redirects when replacing an existing site.
“They elevated our website to better reflect our business and provided a smoother user journey. Their in-person visits, regular calls, and quick responses have ensured seamless communication.”
“Our new website not only looks the part but has a much smoother customer journey. They took the time to understand our brand, turned problems into solutions, and we’ve seen an uplift in bookings for our accommodation.”
“Spotty Media turned what seemed like an overwhelming process into a smooth transition. The traffic and ranking improvements exceeded our expectations, and our new operational efficiencies are setting the stage for sustained growth.”
“Spotty Media worked on our existing website, building additional pages and integrating systems such as online gift vouchers. They have enhanced its look and feel and increased online revenue by a significant amount. “
A restaurant site needs a current menu and visible table-booking action. A hotel needs room information, dining and events with a clear route to availability. A Sheffield venue with a changing calendar may need staff to update events without rebuilding the site. We plan the structure and photography around those jobs and check the main routes on a phone.
We can build or redevelop a WordPress site and connect a suitable existing reservation or booking provider, including ResDiary, OpenTable, Caterbook or DesignMyNight where the integration fits. Gift vouchers, event tickets and WooCommerce sales can also be scoped. Compatibility is checked before development, especially when the venue uses separate table, room and event systems.
Clear copy and relevant photographs help guests understand the venue. A Kelham Island bar may need to show the room and event atmosphere; an accommodation business may need room details and access information. Spotty Media can write copy from conversations with the team and arrange a scoped shoot. We preserve useful existing content and plan redirects when replacing a site, without promising unchanged search rankings.
Based In Durham. Supporting Sheffield Hospitality.
Spotty Media is based in Durham and can coordinate a Sheffield website project remotely, with venue visits or photography agreed where useful. A group operating across Sheffield and Leeds may need shared brand standards but accurate local menus, contact details and booking routes for each venue.
Not listed? We also work with hospitality businesses across the UK.
We can set up Google Analytics, Tag Manager and Search Console to understand discovery and on-site actions, subject to visitor consent. A click to an external booking engine is not proof of a completed reservation. We assess whether the provider exposes completion data before agreeing what can be tracked, and keep room, table and event actions distinct.
Spotty Media is based in Durham and works with clients remotely. On-site meetings or photography can be agreed within the project scope where useful; we do not have a Sheffield office.
We assess the system already in use and the integration it offers before proposing a change. ResDiary, OpenTable, Caterbook and DesignMyNight are among the providers we can work with when suitable.
Yes, if each offer has enough information and a clear next action. A hotel or inn may need distinct routes to room availability, restaurant reservations and event enquiries.
We can plan training and an editing approach around the platform and the team’s confidence. Spotty Media can also manage agreed content updates as ongoing support.
Both depend on the website’s size, content, existing systems, migration work and integrations. We agree a specification and bespoke quote before a schedule is committed.
For a redevelopment we audit useful content and existing URLs, then plan the migration and redirects. We take care to protect existing value but cannot guarantee unchanged rankings.
Hosting, security, backups, maintenance and content updates can be scoped where suitable. The proposal sets out what is included rather than assuming lifetime support.
Yes. We scope the site around the venue’s own guest decisions, whether those involve menus and tables, rooms and availability, or events and enquiries.
Yes. Shared brand standards can sit alongside accurate menus, contact details and booking routes for each location. We agree how venue teams will keep those details current.
Tell us about the venue, current site and where guests get stuck. We can discuss content, booking systems, platform and support, then scope a website project around those requirements.
