Migration

Replace your pub website without starting from zero

Stuck with an outdated site, a provider you cannot reach, or an agency bill for every menu change? My Place lets you rebuild on a hospitality-focused platform you control — using your venue details as a starting point.

Common reasons pub operators switch

If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to move.

  • Outdated design that does not reflect how the pub looks today
  • Menus and events frozen because only the agency can log in
  • Poor mobile experience when guests try to read the menu on a phone
  • Expensive change requests for small updates
  • Unclear booking journeys — guests cannot find how to reserve
  • Changing provider or losing access when a contract ends

What changes when you move to My Place

A site you can maintain day to day, not just on launch day.

  • You control menu updates

    Change dishes and prices when the kitchen changes — no ticket to a developer.

  • Events that reflect this week

    Add or remove listings when the programme moves on.

  • Clear booking and contact routes

    Point buttons at your reservation platform, phone, or enquiry form.

  • Hosting included

    We handle the technical side so you focus on content.

  • Staff can share the load

    Invite team members to help with updates during busy periods.

A realistic transition path

What switching actually looks like — no promised zero-downtime migration.

  1. 1

    Build your new site alongside the old one

    Look up your pub, customise the draft, and add menus, events, and photos. Preview on a My Place link before you switch.

  2. 2

    Check the essentials

    Confirm hours, contact details, booking links, and menus read correctly on mobile.

  3. 3

    Point your domain when ready

    On Pro, connect your domain and update DNS when you are happy to send traffic to the new site. Keep the old site until then if you need to.

Features that make the new site stick

Tools pub operators rely on after they have moved.

  • AI

    Menu import from a photo

    Take a photo or upload a PDF of your printed menu. My Place reads sections, dishes, and prices to give you a head start in the editor.

  • Menus that stay current

    Run several menus, move sections around, and attach a PDF when you need one. All live on the same menus page your guests already use.

  • Events and featured content

    Promote gigs, quizzes, screenings, and one-off nights on your events page, with a featured section for the highlights.

  • Your own web address

    Start on a My Place link straight away, then connect your own domain when you are ready, with no rebuild required.

  • Enquiry forms

    Build a contact or enquiry form, share the link, and read replies in the same place you manage everything else.

  • Opening hours

    Keep opening times accurate on your site and contact page. Set regular hours and special schedules for bank holidays.

Replacing your pub website — FAQs

Honest answers about domains, content, and switching.

No. You look up your venue to get a fresh draft with core details pre-filled, then add menus, events, and photos. You rebuild content in My Place rather than importing an old CMS.
