The Oligarch MK

The Oligarch MK

A full website rebuild for a Milton Keynes restaurant, focused on improving performance, enabling live bookings, showcasing menus and events, and strengthening local visibility through ongoing marketing support.

The Challenge

Oligarch MK’s previous website was slow, unreliable, and no longer fit for purpose. The design felt dated, the site suffered from bugs and performance issues, and most importantly, it was unable to take live table bookings.

Menus were not clearly displayed online, events were difficult to promote, and the website was not effectively supporting the restaurant’s marketing or day-to-day operations. This resulted in missed opportunities, poor user experience, and an online presence that didn’t reflect the quality of the venue.

The business needed a website that:

  • Allowed customers to book tables directly online
  • Clearly displayed all menus in a structured, easy-to-read format
  • Promoted events with clear information and booking links
  • Supported marketing and local visibility efforts

Our Approach

We approached the project as a full rebuild rather than a patch-up. The first step was restructuring the site to ensure key information such as menus, bookings, and events were easy to find and worked seamlessly across devices.

The website was rebuilt in WordPress using Avada, with a focus on performance, stability, and visual clarity. Menus were carefully structured and broken down into clear sections, allowing customers to browse offerings easily without being overwhelmed.

Alongside the website rebuild, we integrated the restaurant’s booking system to allow live table reservations directly through the site. We also added live Google Reviews and Instagram feeds to reinforce trust and social proof.

To support visibility beyond the website, we optimised Oligarch MK’s Google Business Profile and implemented an automated Zapier workflow to respond to customer reviews, improving engagement and consistency.
