Creating featured slider images in Photoshop

Posted in Tutorials

Making the homepage featured slider look great is very important for making a lasting first impression on your visitors.

You should definitely read our tutorial on controlling the featured slider, but creating appropriate images deserves a tutorial on it’s own.

First of all, you need to have professional looking images ready to use on your website. Stock images are not really good for this purpose, since even though they look good, they look “fake” in the sense that people will be able to tell that they are not of your establishment.

Getting a domain name for your restaurant

Posted in Tutorials

Registering your restaurant’s, bar’s, coffee house’s, etc. unique domain name is very simple, and takes approximately 3 minutes at most.

Our preferred domain registrar company is Name.com, we’ve had great experience with them throughout the years, they have a great administration panel, they are cheap, and there aren’t any pricing surprises as with many other registrars.

Oh, and a word of caution if you choose to get your domain at a different registrar, beware of the “$1 for the first year” domain offers. The price for the second year just might go up to $40.
