# Private chef website examples: four designs for chefs who cook in clients' homes

> MigrateLab builds high-performing websites for local businesses. Fixed price, live in 7 working days, fast on mobile, and yours to keep.

Four finished websites for private chefs: the chef who has cooked the valley's seasons for twenty years, the tasting-menu chef with a menu you compose course by course, the live-fire cook who runs the whole evening outdoors, and the booking machine with a price per guest and open dates. Click through any of them, then order the one that fits.

People hire a private chef for a birthday, a villa week, an anniversary or a board dinner, and they decide on three things: the food, the chef and whether the date is free. Most private chefs send menus as PDFs, take bookings through Instagram messages and quote every evening from scratch, so the enquiry that comes in at 11pm waits until morning.

The four sites below sell a private chef four different ways. One sells a long reputation and a menu that follows the seasons. One sells a tasting menu the guest composes before they enquire. One sells a live-fire evening with the whole night laid out hour by hour. One is a lead machine with a price per guest calculator and an availability calendar. Every one is real, responsive and ready to rebuild around your kitchen.

## The four designs

### A. The Everard Table Private Chef (Heritage and trust)

- Price: $1,520 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Long-established private chefs whose name travels by word of mouth, who cook from local farms and want the website to carry the reputation they already have.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites/everard
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites?concept=everard#quote
- The month selector shows a guest exactly what they would eat on their date, which a PDF menu never can
- Price per guest, the minimum and the eight week summer lead time sit in the hero, so the right guests enquire early and the wrong ones do not waste an evening
- Naming the farms turns "seasonal" from a claim into something a guest can check, which is what a long reputation is built on

### B. Suppertide Private Dining (Premium design-led)

- Price: $2,320 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Private chefs with fine dining kitchens behind them who cook tasting menus for small groups and want the site to feel like the restaurant they left.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites/suppertide
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites?concept=suppertide#quote
- Guests compose their own tasting menu before they write, so the enquiry that arrives already has five dishes, an occasion and a pairing choice
- The price per guest and the four guest minimum sit in plain sight, which filters out the wrong enquiries before they reach the chef
- Quiet editorial photography of real plates sells the cooking the way a restaurant review would, without adjectives

### C. Coalhouse Fire Kitchen (Bold and industrial)

- Price: $1,920 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Live-fire and outdoor private chefs who bring their own rig to the venue and sell the whole evening, not just the plates.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites/coalhouse
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites?concept=coalhouse#quote
- The hour-by-hour night shows a host exactly what their evening will look like, which is the thing they cannot picture from a menu PDF
- Price per guest, the 10 guest minimum and the 90 mile radius sit in the first screen, so enquiries arrive already qualified
- Burn bans and wind are answered before anyone asks, which removes the biggest worry about hiring an open-fire cook

### D. Dinnerwell Private Chefs (Lead machine)

- Price: $2,320 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Private chef teams and busy solo chefs who get most enquiries from phones late at night and want each one to arrive with a date, a guest count and a budget.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites/dinnerwell
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites?concept=dinnerwell#quote
- The total for your evening updates as you move the guest slider, so nobody has to email to find out what dinner for ten costs
- Open and booked evenings sit right under the price, so the enquiry arrives with a date that is actually free
- The booking request carries the guest count, menu level and add-ons with it, so the chef can confirm in one reply

## You get the design you pick, made into your own site

Every demo on this page is a real layout we rebuild for you. The structure, the sections and the special feature stay as you see them. Your name, logo, colours, photos and wording replace ours, so it looks like it was always yours, and no other business in your area gets the same site.

Stays as you see it in the demo:

- The layout and page structure, section by section
- The special feature, like the map, calculator or booking calendar
- How it looks and works on a phone, and how fast it loads
- Type and spacing tuned so it still looks designed

Becomes yours:

- Your business name and logo. No logo yet? We set your name in a clean wordmark
- Your brand colours, applied across buttons, headings and backgrounds
- Your photos, or licensed photos chosen for your trade
- Your services, prices, service area, team and reviews
- Your phone, email, address and domain

Want a section from another design, or one moved or left out? Put it in your notes. Small changes like that are included.

## What every price includes

- The design you picked, rebuilt around your name, colours, logo and photos
- Copy written for your services and your service area, not filler
- A simple editor for text, photos, services and reviews, no code needed
- Contact and quote forms wired to your inbox, tap-to-call on mobile
- Search basics done properly: titles, descriptions, local business schema, sitemap, fast load
- Your domain connected, your old site redirected if there is one
- One round of changes before launch, and 30 days of fixes after it

## How to order

1. **Pick a design.** Choose the one that feels like your company. Mixing an element from another one is fine.
2. **Send us the basics.** Your logo if you have one, photos of your work, your services, service area, phone and email. A 15 minute call if you prefer talking to typing.
3. **Review the preview.** Within a week you get a private link to the finished site. One round of changes is included.
4. **Go live.** We connect your domain, redirect the old site, and hand you the keys. Nothing is held hostage.

## After launch

- **Care plan, $63 per month.** We host it, watch it and change it for you. Send an email with the change, it is live within one working day. Cancel any month.
- **Let AI edit it, $0 per month.** The code is clean enough that Claude Code or Cursor can add a page, change a section or swap a photo from a plain English request. We set it up and show you how.

## What a great private chef website needs

- **Sample menus.** Real menus by season or occasion, not a vague list of cuisines.
- **Price per guest.** A starting price per head and what it includes: shopping, service, cleanup.
- **Open dates.** Which dates are free, or at least a fast way to ask.
- **The chef.** Where you trained and cooked. People are inviting you into their home.
- **How the evening runs.** Arrival, courses, service, when you leave the kitchen clean.
- **Dietary needs.** Allergies and diets handled up front, with confidence.
- **Where you cook.** Cities, regions, villas, boats. Travel fees if any.
- **Fast on a phone.** Most enquiries come from a phone, often late at night.

## Questions

### How much does a private chef website cost?

From us, $1,520 to $2,320 as a fixed, one-time price, depending on which of the four designs you pick, live in 7 working days. That includes the design rebuilt around your business, the copy, forms, search basics and connecting your domain. After launch you can edit it yourself for $0 a month or have us look after it for $63 a month. For comparison, agencies typically quote $3,000 to $10,000 for a small business site, and builder subscriptions run $20 to $50 a month for as long as the site exists.

### Will my site look exactly like the demo?

It keeps the same design, layout and structure, and the same special feature. Everything that is ours becomes yours: your name and logo, your brand colours, your photos, services, prices and contact details. Small changes, like borrowing a section from another design or leaving one out, are included in the fixed price.

### Who can build a website for my private chef?

MigrateLab builds websites for private chef owners. Pick one of four finished designs at migratelab.com/examples/private-chef-websites, send your logo, photos and details, and we rebuild it around your business for a fixed $1,520 to $2,320, live in 7 working days. You own the site, there is no platform subscription, and you can edit it yourself or have us look after it.

### Can I get a private chef website without a monthly platform fee?

Yes. A MigrateLab site is yours outright and runs on your own hosting for a few dollars a month, instead of a $20 to $50 monthly builder plan. You pay a one-time $1,520 to $2,320 for the build, and a care plan at $63 a month is optional if you want us to make changes for you.

### Are these real websites or just designs?

Real. Each concept is a complete, responsive website you can click through on any device. The businesses are fictional so you can see the design with realistic content, but the code and layout are exactly what you would receive.

### Can guests book a date and see a price before they message me?

Yes. We build a price per guest calculator and an availability calendar you update yourself, so the enquiry that reaches you already has the date, the number of guests and a budget.

### I run everything from Instagram and word of mouth. Do I need a website?

Most private chefs we talk to have been getting by on Instagram, WhatsApp or referrals from villa managers. That works until someone searches for you by name, asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, or wants to see prices and availability before they get in touch. A site you own answers all of that, ranks in search, and does not disappear when a platform changes its rules.

### What happens after I pick one?

You send your logo if you have one, photos, your services and prices, and how people book today. We rebuild the site around your business and send a private preview within a week. One round of changes, then it goes live on your domain.

### Will I be able to edit it myself?

Yes. Text, photos, prices and availability are editable without touching code. Or pick the care plan and text or email us the change.

### What does it cost per month?

Nothing to us unless you choose the care plan. Hosting under your own account is a few dollars a month. There is no platform subscription.

Every company in the demos is a concept brand created by MigrateLab for illustration.
