What was wrong before we started?
The starting point
The old diner group visits addresses were embedded in years of emails, printed materials and listings. The rebuild would move nearly all of them.
What it cost the team
For diner group visits, the business needed to reorganize its content without stranding returning visitors on missing pages. No record existed of which old links mattered most.
What we built
An inventory of old addresses became a redirect map, checked line by line before launch. The new site covers breakfast hours and the group seating policy with labels consistent with its reorganized pages.
Features used
Linked items open the matching section on the features page.
How long did it take?
20 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover.

The old diner group visits address is in hundreds of our emails. Knowing exactly where it would redirect was non-negotiable for me.
Questions about this project
How long did this project take?
20 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. The clock starts once the team has approved the content, so the time goes on building and checking rather than waiting.
Which plan covers this kind of work?
Everything used here (url inventory, redirect map, internal link updates, missing-page checks, launch review) sits inside the standard build, so it is available on every plan, starting with The Single Counter at $117 a month. The $647 one-time build fee is invoiced after launch.
Why is the restaurant not named?
Clients are described by type, region and team size on purpose, so the story can be told in full without publishing anything about their business they did not want shared. The quote is from Patrick Carlisle, shift manager, used with permission.
