Step 1: Sign Up for Hostinger Website Builder

First, visit the Hostinger website using this link. Hostinger offers three website builder plans: Premium, Business, and eCommerce. While the Premium plan includes essential features, the Business plan is recommended as it comes with AI tools like the image generator, AI writer, and AI blog post generator.

Step 2: Create Your Restaurant Website Using AI

Once you’ve signed up, log in to your Hostinger account, go to the website section, and click on “Add Website.” Select the Hostinger website builder, and choose to create a site using AI. For this example, we’ll create a restaurant website. Enter your restaurant’s name and a brief description to guide the AI in generating a site that reflects your business’s unique style and offerings.

Step 3: Customize Your Website

Hostinger’s AI will generate a basic website layout with various sections, including a navigation bar, welcome section, testimonials, services, contact information, and a footer. Here’s how to further customize your site:

1. Add a Sticky Bar: Hover over the website header, click “Add Sticky Bar,” and enter your promotional text. To make it stand out, customize the background color and text style.
2. Edit the Header: Click on the header section, select “Edit Header,” and adjust elements like logo placement, social icons, and call-to-action buttons.
3. Create a Restaurant Logo: Use a tool like Canva to design a logo. Upload it to your website by clicking on the current logo and selecting “Replace Image.”
4. Edit the Homepage: Customize sections by clicking on them and choosing “Edit Section.” You can change backgrounds, text, and images to suit your brand.

Step 4: Optimize for Mobile

Ensure your website looks great on mobile devices by clicking the smartphone icon in the builder. Adjust section sizes and text placement to provide a seamless user experience on all screen sizes.

Step 5: Add Essential Pages

1. Table Booking Page: Enable the eCommerce feature and set up an appointment booking system for table reservations. Create booking products for different table sizes and durations, and assign them to a booking category.
2. Legal Pages: Add necessary legal pages like privacy policy and terms and conditions by duplicating text elements and linking them appropriately.

Step 6: Enhance User Experience
