Hello Kim,

I just concluded a phone call with my investor, who informed me that the check he mailed to you was for $7,000. The payment has already been processed on his end and is currently being sent to the address you provided via USPS regular courier service.

The project consultant’s funds for the website project, (he has all the assets), approximately $3,000 was inadvertently included with your initial deposit. My investor has advised that, as a result, we will not be able to make any additional payments for the time being.

There was a misunderstanding on his part, as he believed that you and my private project consultant were affiliated with the same company.This was the reason the full amount was sent directly to you.

After discussing the matter with my investor,I contacted the project consultant and informed him that he would need to wait for payment for the work he has already completed. Everything is ready on his end, and he has confirmed that he will release all project materials once his payment has been received.

Once the $7,000 payment is delivered, please deposit the check with your bank for clearance. This process typically takes overnight or up to 24 hours. Once the funds have cleared, you may remit the project consultant’s payment after deducting your agreed fee of $3.500(FULL) from the total amount.

The project consultant has your contact information and will reach out to you as soon as his payment has been received. He will then transfer all relevant project files and details to you via Drive or any other method you prefer.

I hope you understand the situation, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this may cause. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Regards,

Tommy

When I receive I confirm.

 

I will send over a web based fileable file to submit content.

 

We can build an on-demand platform that will update website content for menu.

 

Example- menu changes, out of stock, remove or add. At your end, the content form is completed and uploaded, the site is updated.

 

Thoughts?

Subject: Re: Best Get Wix Website Support from Adaptive Marketing Group

 

Hello,

I trust this email finds you well.

I am gearing up to open a new Spanish restaurant (Zaragoza Restaurant and Bar) in November,we are situated in CLEVELAND OHIO. This venue will primarily offer Paella and Tapas along with other renowned Spanish dishes. To expand my reach and enhance sales, I require an elegant website that will draw a significant number of visitors to the restaurant. I have a restaurant website that I would like to use as a reference: https://bullagastrobar.com Similar to the reference site, I would prefer my website to be in English as well. Furthermore, I want the website to facilitate reservations,and if possible, I would like the reservation system to be integrated directly into the site. If that is not achievable, we can utilize third-party software like OpenTable. Additionally, I would like to initially avoid offering online orders, as I believe it is more advantageous for customers to dine in at the restaurant to become familiar with the atmosphere. In the future, I would appreciate your assistance in updating the website to incorporate online ordering options. I would be thankful if you could also manage and update the website regularly for me, assuming everything goes as planned. I want to emphasize that I am seeking a website that closely mirrors the provided reference, but I would like mine to be even more refined. Regarding the domain name, I have not secured one yet, but I am contemplating options like ZaragozaGrrillandBar.com, Zaragozafood.com, and Zaragozarestaurantandbar.com

My budget for the website design ranges from $6000 to $12,000, and I hope this will be sufficient to complete the project.

As for the content and assets for the website,I have a Private project consultant who will oversee all essential components, including the logo, images, videography, text content (fonts and typography), menu, and color palette, which will all be provided.

Could you please provide me with an estimate/quotation based on the information provided above. The estimate/quotation should include website hosting along with one year of maintenance and updates. I strongly trust that you will have the website running by the last week in October since the official launch of the restaurant is 1st of November.

Finally, I would also like to know a little more about your company and your role within it. Are you the owner, manager, or an independent freelancer working on these project?

I am looking forward to getting the estimate as soon as possible.

Hello Kim,

 

Thank you for the detailed response and for taking the time to explain your approach.

I appreciate your perspective, particularly regarding the importance of not only having a well-designed website but also ensuring that it is properly positioned, optimized, and supported by an effective marketing strategy. I agree that a great website is only one part of building a successful restaurant business.

Regarding the budget, I understand your point. I disclosed the budget simply to provide context around the scope and expectations for the project, rather than to suggest that the entire amount should be allocated toward the website itself. 

I think we should continue with the next step. This email also confirms my readiness to approve your price quote $3500 and also to proceed further.

I would also like us to finalize the payment arrangements before proceeding. Do you accept payment by check? This is currently my only available method of payment, so please let me know if this will be possible.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Tommy Best

Tommy,

 

Here’s the deal. We are Adaptive Marketing Group, a Wix Legend Marketplace Agency.  Not everyone or agency is considered Legend.

 

 Yes, I am the president. And, a little over a year ago, pulled back on most new creations or new designs by choice. 

 

As of today, we are selective in the sites and clients that we bring on. This is clearly outlined on website to discourage many from contacting us.

 

 First, although we are a top designer for WiX, WiX is not always the best platform. 

 

You made a major flaw in your email by disclosing your budget.

 

 A typical restaurant website should only cost maybe $3500 at the most. I suggest you take the rest of your money or budget and put it in the marketing. After all 17-25% of restaurants fail in first year, roughly 50% by year 5.

 

You can have best site ever built but if no one finds the  site or the restaurant… you will have wiped your butt with many Ben Franklins. 

 

Designing a website is child’s play. Being creative, unique and dynamic is essential. More importantly is understanding how to set it up correctly.

 

We’ll send over a concept design based on the vision you articulated.

 

 

 

Thanks

 

Kim
