Case study
A Mallorcan restaurant that had been open for years without a website. I built them a first online presence, an admin panel to manage menu and daily specials, and an in-house reservation system that pays no commission to TheFork.
Son Colom is a restaurant in Felanitx, in the inland heart of Mallorca. Mallorcan cuisine without shortcuts: callos, frit, homemade croquettes, calamari Andalusian-style, jamón and cheese boards. They had been running for years with a loyal weekday crowd from the village (the kind that comes in for the daily set menu) and weekend diners who drove in on purpose.
What they did not have was a website. Every conversation with the customer ran through phone, social media or word of mouth. When Edwin called me, we framed it straight away: a first online presence, yes, but built from day one so the restaurant could actually work with it.
The brief was not a pretty website. It was a tool to run the restaurant day to day without depending on anyone.
Three clear demands from the client from day one:
The menu is the moment the diner decides whether to step in. So it lives on a single screen, with a photo of the dining room on the left, prices visible from the very first scroll, and a clean toggle between Food and Drinks. No downloadable PDFs. What you see is today's menu, edited that same morning from the panel.
It is the reason half the village turns up for lunch on a weekday. It has its own URL, its own editorial space and a graceful fallback for the days the menu has not been published yet. Edwin enters it in under a minute from the panel: starter, main, dessert, price. It goes live instantly.
The reservation system is in-house. When someone books, the data lands in the restaurant's own database. Not TheFork, not Glovo. If the team decides to close online reservations for a week of repairs or an event, the system shows the direct phone number instead of a dead form. Honesty before automation.

I asked Maties for a website for the restaurant and he delivered way more than I expected. A panel where I manage menu, daily specials and reservations without calling anyone, and even an automated system that requests reviews. A legend.

Restaurant and Menu schemas, full hreflang across all four languages, canonical without duplicates.
What you see in this case (in-house panel, commission-free reservations, editable menu, multi-language) is not exclusive to Son Colom. It is the base format I bring to every restaurant looking to have its website properly built from day one.
For now this is the only published case study. There are other finished projects, but until the client gives the green light and the data is consolidated, they don't get told here. When case #2 is ready, it will show up in this same place.
