Cyprianis Restaurant Website Revamp

Challenge

The work updated the look of a working Italian restaurant site without replacing it, through a London agency in September 2025. Cyprianis had a working Elementor site that no longer matched how the restaurant wanted to present itself. The agency supplied a Figma design for the refresh, covering a new homepage, a way to promote events and a page for private dining enquiries. The constraint was to deliver the new look without a rebuild. The existing WordPress install, plugins and URLs had to stay, so nothing broke for the client or for search, and the cost and timeline had to suit a small restaurant.

Approach

Revamping in place rather than rebuilding was the central decision. It kept the plugins, settings and URLs the restaurant already relied on, which protected its search presence and avoided a migration. Elementor was already installed and the agency's team knows it, so new pages fit the existing workflow. Working from Figma meant the layout decisions were already made. My job was a faithful, responsive implementation, which is where a page builder earns its keep. Building the new homepage alongside the old one and switching at the end is a small habit that removes most of the risk from a refresh.

Solution

In September 2025 I built a new homepage from the Figma design on Elementor, an Events listing, and a single event template used for private dining. I integrated the menu so diners can see what is on before they book. Every page was made fully responsive and checked against the Figma at desktop and mobile breakpoints. The new homepage was swapped in only once it matched, so the live site never showed a half-finished state. The events listing and single template give the restaurant a repeatable way to announce a supper club or a seasonal evening without a new build each time.

Results

It was a freelance project through a London agency, live at cyprianislocksbottom.co.uk. The restaurant has a homepage that reflects its current positioning, an events section it can update itself and a private dining page that turns interest into enquiries. Revamping in place kept the cost low and the launch quick, which is often the right call for a small restaurant site. This project is the example I point to when a client assumes a new look requires a new site.

Page builder work like this falls under my WordPress websites on Bricks, Elementor and Oxygen service.
