Your Website Is Free. The Hosting Is $297 for the Year.
We’re RestoZign, a website design studio in St. Petersburg, Florida. Pay for a full year of hosting up front — $297, one time — and we design and build your website for free. Not a template with your name dropped in. A real site: your menu readable on a phone, your number one tap away, your hours and directions where guests expect them.
$297 covers your first year of hosting. The build is on us. The site is yours.

Let’s get the catch out of the way first.
Every “free website” offer has a catch. Ours is simple, and we’d rather say it before you pay than after:
We make our money on the hosting, not the build.
Your website has to live somewhere. Ours lives on our managed hosting — the servers, security, backups, and updates we run for the restaurants we work with. When you prepay a year of that hosting ($297), we waive the entire design-and-build fee, because we’d rather have a long hosting relationship than a one-time project invoice.
That’s the whole model. No setup fee hiding underneath. No charge for the build later. No lease — the website is your asset, and after the first year the hosting simply renews at our standard care rate of $29/month. Stay, and we keep taking care of it. Leave, and we hand over your site files. Fair either way.
Three steps. You handle the food, we handle the website.
Step 1 — Claim your spot. Check out for the $297 hosting year and fill in a short intake form: your menu, a few photos of the food and the room, your hours, your logo if you have one. Ten minutes, tops. Don’t have everything handy? Send what you have — we’ll tell you what’s missing.
Step 2 — We build. We design the site around your restaurant — your food, your colors, your voice. You get a private preview link to look at on your own phone, the way your guests will see it. Ask for tweaks. That’s what the preview is for.
Step 3 — You launch. The site goes live on your hosting. We line up the Google basics, run the launch checklist, and hand you the keys: your logins, your links, everything documented. Then we stay on as your hosting and care team for the year.
A proper foundation, built right — not a stripped-down teaser.
- Custom design built around your restaurant’s look and food — not a shared template with your name swapped in
- Homepage + menu pages guests can actually read on a phone — real menu pages, not a pinched-and-zoomed PDF
- Contact the way guests want it: click-to-call number, directions, hours, and a simple contact form
- Mobile-first build — most of your guests will find you on a phone, so the phone version is the priority, not an afterthought
- Google Business Profile basics — categories, hours, and photos set up so your listing and your website tell the same story
- Foundational on-page setup — page titles and descriptions written for how diners actually search (“best tacos near me,” not keyword soup)
- Launch checklist before go-live — every link, form, map pin, and phone number tested by a human before your guests see it
- Your first year of hosting included in the $297 (details below)
What it doesn’t include — honestly: Online ordering systems, reservation platforms, ad campaigns, and ongoing SEO campaigns aren’t part of the free build. They’re available as add-ons with listed prices (you’ll see them after checkout, no surprises and no obligation). The free build is the foundation most restaurants are missing — done properly, once.
What the $297 actually buys.
- Managed hosting for 12 months — your site on fast, maintained servers, not the cheapest shared box on the internet
- SSL certificate — the padlock your guests (and Google) expect
- Security updates and patches applied for you
- Regular backups — if anything ever breaks, we can restore it
- Uptime monitoring — we know if your site goes down before your guests tell you
- Care basics handled — the small technical chores that keep a site fast, safe, and alive, done quietly in the background
For comparison: the same hosting and care runs $29/month on its own — $348 over a year. In this funnel, the year is $297, paid once, and the website build comes with it at no charge.
After year one, hosting and care renew at the standard $29/month. No long contract. Cancel, and your site files are handed over — it’s your website.
Built for restaurants. Open to the businesses that feed a town.
Restaurants are our specialty — full-service, cafés, bakeries, food trucks, pizza places, taquerias. If guests Google you before they visit you, this build covers what they’re looking for.
It also works for other local businesses — salons, contractors, shops, services — anywhere a customer checks you out on their phone before they call. The pages adjust to your business; the foundation is the same.
This is a good fit if:
- You have no website, and “we’re on Facebook” has been the whole strategy
- You have a website you’re embarrassed to text to a customer
- Your menu online is a blurry photo or a PDF from three price changes ago
- You’d rather pay for hosting once a year than think about any of this monthly
FAQ
Is the website really free?
The design and build labor is $0 when you prepay the hosting year. That’s not a trial or a teaser version — it’s the full Starter build we sell. We can offer it because we earn the hosting relationship instead. The only charge at claim is the $297 for your first year of hosting.
What exactly does the $297 cover?
Twelve months of managed hosting: your site online, SSL certificate, security updates, backups, uptime monitoring, and the basic care that keeps it running. It does not include ad spend, ordering-system fees, or add-on services — those are always quoted separately, with prices shown before you agree to anything.
What happens after year one?
Hosting and care renew at our standard rate of $29/month. There’s no obligation to renew and no penalty for leaving — if you go, we hand over your complete site files. Most owners stay because “someone else handles the website” is worth $29. But that’s your call, every year.
Who owns the website?
You do. Your domain, your content, your site. If you already own a domain, we connect it. If you don’t, we’ll help you register one in your name — never ours. We build it and host it; it’s your asset.
How fast will my site be live?
We start within 2 business days of receiving your intake. Most launches happen in about 2–3 weeks — the biggest variable is how quickly menus, photos, and details come back to us. You’ll see a preview before anything goes public, and nothing launches without your okay.
I already have a website. Can I still use this?
Yes. A rebuild counts. (A standalone redesign normally starts at $395 with us — in this funnel, the same work rides on the hosting year.) We’ll rebuild it properly and move it over without your old site disappearing mid-switch.
What if I need more later — ordering, ads, more pages?
Then we talk about add-ons, with the prices printed up front: promotion sprints, ad management, an AI receptionist for your phone, a Messenger audit bot for your Facebook page. Plenty of owners start with the free build and add pieces as they pay off. Nothing is bundled in behind your back.
Do you only build for restaurants?
Restaurants are the flagship — it’s who we built this for first, and who most of our work serves. But the offer is open to local businesses generally. If a customer can Google you, the foundation applies.
$297 for the hosting year. The website is free. The site is yours.
One payment today covers your first year of hosting and care — and puts a professionally built website at the end of it. Preview before launch. Your name on the domain. No monthly bill to think about until next year, and then only if you choose to stay.
