Case Study: Website Build & Digital Strategy for Shawarma Pita

Client: Shawarma Pita — a Mediterranean & halal-certified restaurant offering shawarma, platters, burgers, wraps, and more. shawarmapita.com+1
My Role: Web Developer + Content & Local SEO Specialist
Time Frame: (almost 4 months)

1. Project Overview

Shawarma Pita needed a website that captured their vibrant culinary offering and brand identity: Mediterranean cuisine, premium ingredients, halal-certified. The website had to clearly showcase menu variety (shawarmas, burgers, wraps, vegetarian options), highlight their authenticity and service quality, and drive user actions like ordering or visiting. shawarmapita.com+1

2. The Challenge

Key issues to address included:

  • Clarifying the full menu range and food categories (shawarma & gyros, burgers, wraps, vegetarian) so visitors immediately understand the offering. shawarmapita.com

  • Conveying the brand’s identity (Mediterranean passion, halal certification, fresh high-quality ingredients) in a compelling way. shawarmapita.com

  • Ensuring easy navigation, mobile responsiveness, and clear calls-to-action (order now, check menu, dine-in vs take-away).

  • Improving local visibility and discoverability for potential customers in the restaurant’s region (likely local or nearby visitors).

3. The Approach / Solution

To tackle these, I:

  • Developed a responsive, visually engaging website with strong hero imagery and brand messaging (“bringing the vibrant tastes of the Mediterranean to your table”). shawarmapita.com

  • Structured the menu section into clear categories: Appetizers, Shawarma & Gyro, Platters, Burgers/Wraps/Kati Rolls, Vegetarian, Beverages — helping both UX and SEO. shawarmapita.com

  • Crafted content that emphasized key differentiators: “Certified Halal”, “Mediterranean cuisine”, “fresh high-quality ingredients”, and the restaurant’s passion for authenticity. shawarmapita.com

  • Added prominent conversion points: full menu link, contact info, “Order Now” or call-to-action elements (as per site design) and optimized for mobile to suit restaurant guests and take-away ordering.

  • Enhanced on-page SEO by using sport-relevant keywords (e.g., “Mediterranean restaurant”, “shawarma platter”, “halal restaurant [city/region]”) and ensuring metadata and menus are crawl-friendly.

4. The Results

  • The website now effectively presents Shawarma Pita as a vibrant, authentic Mediterranean and halal restaurant, with the full variety of menu items clearly displayed and easily navigable.

  • Improved user experience: visitors can quickly find menu items, categories and understand what the restaurant offers (including vegetarian & burger options) and take action.

  • With the enhanced structure, content and visibility, the site is better positioned to attract local search traffic and convert visitors into customers.
