Raasa Restaurant landing page: a coming-soon site for a Locksbottom Indian restaurant, built overnight by Mohit Goyal on WordPress and Elementor and put live. It turned a mismatched theme demo into a clean launch page before the restaurant opened. Raasa is an Indian restaurant in Locksbottom, Orpington. It needed a presence online before opening so that early customers could find it, read about the kitchen and leave an email address. The agency had a horizontal-scroll theme demo that did not fit a restaurant, and the deadline was the next morning. The brief was simple but tight: one page, live on the real domain, by the time the client checked in. On 8 and 9 April 2025 I converted the demo into a one-page landing. It has a hero, an About Raasa section with the head chef's biography, a menu teaser, an email sign-up and a map. Converting the demo meant fixing the theme breakage that came with removing its horizontal scroll. I stripped the sections that did not apply and rebuilt the remaining ones as a vertical page. I also removed the unused WooCommerce install the demo had brought along. It had no place on a coming-soon page and only added weight and attack surface. The same night I migrated the page from staging to the live domain, so the restaurant woke up with a working site on its own address. Elementor was the right tool for a page that had to exist by morning and that the agency would edit later. Keeping WordPress rather than a static page meant the site could grow into a full restaurant site, with menus and bookings, without migrating again. Removing WooCommerce and the unused theme parts kept the page light. That matters for a site most people open on a phone while deciding where to eat. Later in 2025 I installed Google Tag Manager so the agency could add analytics and tracking without further code changes. I added opening hours to the footer once the restaurant had fixed them. The page is live at raasarestaurant.co.uk. The restaurant had an online presence before opening day, collected sign-ups from the start and now has a WordPress base that can be extended as the business grows. It was a small project, but a good example of turning a mismatched theme into a clean launch page under time pressure. Knowing what to delete is often the fastest route to a finished site.

Cyprianis restaurant website revamp by Mohit Goyal: new Elementor homepage, events listing and private dining template from Figma for a Locksbottom restaurant. 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. 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. 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. 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. Have a Figma design that needs a faithful WordPress build on an existing site? Send me the file and I will reply with a plan.

Ravens Ait venue website: WordPress and Bricks Builder build by Mohit Goyal for a Thames island venue, with 20+ event pages, Stripe bookings and HubSpot forms. It was built from scratch in 2025 through a London agency, scores 94 or higher on PageSpeed and has grown revenue pages since launch. Ravens Ait hosts weddings, christenings, private dining, corporate meetings and celebrations of life on a private island on the Thames near Kingston. The venue needed a site that reflected a luxury experience and converted browsers into enquiries. The brief asked for a luxurious light-gold palette, a sticky header, smooth non-intrusive animations, a quick availability call to action, an event-type carousel, an Instagram feed, case studies and testimonials. It also called for accessible contrast and a mobile-first layout. Working through a London agency, I built the full site from scratch on WordPress with Bricks Builder. The homepage has a video hero with Google-fetched reviews. There are nine event pages, including wedding sub-pages for Asian and European weddings, and eleven seasonal pages, from Holi to Boxing Day. All of them come from one Bricks template, so a new occasion is a content task rather than a build. Every event page follows one SEO heading structure: a single H1, three H2s for venue settings, catering and entertainment, H3s for FAQs, testimonials and the enquiry form, and an email subscription section. A gallery, blog templates with an author box, and a contact page with FAQs complete the core. Enquiry forms sync to HubSpot through Google Tag Manager, with mandatory fields so leads arrive complete. Later in 2025 I added revenue pages. A Wimbledon Tennis on the Island page has a date picker, per-date packages, Stripe payment through Forminator, customer and admin email templates, past dates disabled and a daily booking summary email. A Christmas 2025 page carries early-bird packages and a PDF flipbook menu. Dinner and Dance and Bollywood Student Night pages take Stripe bookings and share a combined promo popup. Bricks Builder was chosen over heavier builders because it produces lean markup. That is what made the PageSpeed target realistic on a page full of video and imagery. WP Rocket handles caching. The exit-intent popup is limited to once per 12 hours, with a scroll-triggered version on mobile, so it captures leaving visitors without nagging. HubSpot via Google Tag Manager keeps the CRM integration out of the theme code. Forminator with Stripe gave the venue paid bookings without a full e-commerce install. A cookie disclaimer and per-page SEO sections finished the build, followed by a QA pass that deduplicated card content and unified the sliders. The site has been live since April 2025 at ravensait.co.uk with a reported PageSpeed score of 94 or higher. The venue can now add a seasonal page or a ticketed event from templates, take payment on the page and see bookings summarised by email each day. The project taught me that one well-structured template, applied twenty times, is worth more than twenty bespoke pages. Run a venue that needs enquiry pages and ticketed events on one site?
