Shawerma G: a one-page site for a Chicago Ridge shawerma truck

The business

Shawerma G is a Syrian shawerma food truck parked at 9902 S Ridgeland Ave in Chicago Ridge, Illinois. It’s open every day from 6 to 10 PM, or until it sells out. The signature is a chicken wrap pressed crisp on the flat top, with garlic sauce, shatta and pomegranate molasses on the side. Google reviewers give it 4.9 across 88 reviews.

What was in the way

The owner already had the domain shawermag.net, but it showed a Squarespace “Website Expired” page. There was no menu for the truck anywhere online. The menus that came up for the name belonged to a different restaurant in Guelph, Ontario. A search for the domain on Google returned nothing.

What we built

One page and a 404 page, in the order people need it: call to order, the menu, what people say, where the truck is, and a few quick answers. On phones, Call and Directions buttons stay pinned to the bottom of the screen.

The menu lists only what we could confirm. The owner confirmed the three sauces himself. The board changes, so beyond the $11 wrap the page gives a price range per person and the number to call for today’s prices.

The look is truck red and yellow on cream, a daytime street-food feel. We picked it so it wouldn’t look like Shawarma Stop, the dark site we built for another shawarma place. The tagline painted on the truck, “Flavor That Rolls”, runs across the page, and we corrected the Arabic wordmark to شاورما ج. The TikTok clip further down loads only when someone taps play, so it doesn’t slow the page down.

The owner’s Google Workspace email runs on the same domain. When we moved the domain’s DNS to Cloudflare, we copied the email records exactly and checked his mail after the switch.

The site also has an editor, set up for when the owner wants to make changes himself. Saves go to a preview address first, and nothing reaches the public site until someone presses “Put it on my website” and the checks pass. The phone number is stored in one place, so it can’t show two different numbers.

Where it stands

The site went live on shawermag.net on September 5, 2026 and has been indexable from day one. On September 11 we verified it in Google Search Console, submitted the sitemap and set up IndexNow.
