We designed and built a modern, intuitive website that highlights the richness of The Cedar’s menu, story and atmosphere. Structured for clarity and performance, the platform supports online ordering, discovery and conversion — bringing new customers to the brand and strengthening its presence across the local market.

Ask a question

What’s included in a monthly retainer?

Each retainer includes a set number of design or strategy requests per month, priority turnaround, and a dedicated point of contact. It’s built for teams who want ongoing support without starting from scratch every time.

How many requests can I make per month?

We typically handle up to two active requests at a time, with new ones queued as they’re completed. Most deliverables are turned around within 48–72 hours, depending on complexity.

Is a retainer better than a one-off project?

If you need ongoing design support, faster turnarounds, or regular iterations, a retainer is often more cost-effective and collaborative than starting fresh each time.

Who will I be working with?

You’ll work directly with senior designers and strategists. No middle layers, no fluff—just experienced people doing the work.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. Most of our clients are remote. We’re fully set up to collaborate across time zones with clear communication and shared tools.
