Web Design in Miami That Answers the Miami Spice Questions Before the Phone Rings

Updated November 2026 · Written and maintained by the Progression Agency strategy team

Miami Spice opened on August 1, 2026 with new prices: $40 for brunch and lunch, $50 or $65 for dinner, and a Reserve tier starting at $95. A menu page still showing last summer’s $60 dinner sends a diner straight to the phone, and GMCVB’s own FAQ already tells diners to call and confirm. Web design in Miami for a restaurant on the Spice list answers each of those checks on the site, so the call turns into a booking. Progression’s team works from New York, builds for Miami restaurants at a distance, and will sit down in the dining room for a session when asked.

Last summer’s $60 on this summer’s menu page

A restaurant’s dinner page in August 2026 still reads Spice dinner $60. GMCVB’s release of July 20, 2026 prices dinner from $50 to $65. The release of July 22, 2025 priced it from $45 to $60.

The diner who sees $60 does not know which year the page belongs to. A diner with a question calls, and a diner who does not want to call books somewhere else. A website design company in Miami that dates every price on the page removes the question.

• Put the season on the price line, not just the amount.
• Remove last season’s price from every page when the new season begins.
• Keep one price line on one page and link to it from the others.
• Check the booking tool’s menu text against the web menu.

Web design in Miami for the Spice months

The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau runs Miami Spice Restaurant Months: three-course prix-fixe menus at a minimum of 30% savings. Per GMCVB’s July 20, 2026 release, the program launched in 2002 with 56 restaurants, a record 387 took part in 2025, and the 2026 edition opened with more than 300. On September 14, 2026, GMCVB reported a record of more than 400 for August and September.

GMCVB’s FAQ says there is no printed brochure, newsletter or ticketing system. Every Spice booking lands on the restaurant’s own phone or site. A web design company in Miami builds for that traffic, not for a generic menu.

The checks that follow come from GMCVB’s own page for diners, and each one has a place on the restaurant’s site.

What GMCVB tells diners to check, answered on the site

The Miami Spice FAQ tells diners to check that the restaurant is taking part, to mention Miami Spice when booking, to confirm the Spice menu is offered on the chosen day or night, and to double-check that the restaurant is still offering it. Web design companies in Miami can answer each one before the diner picks up the phone.

Taking part this year, said on the homepage

GMCVB tells diners to confirm that a restaurant is taking part. One line on the homepage, naming the season and the tier, answers it for the diner who arrives from a search.

Spice nights and Spice seatings

The Spice menu may not be offered every night. The menu page lists the nights, and the booking step shows only those nights.

A booking that says Spice

GMCVB’s FAQ says reservations are made directly through each restaurant, by phone or on its website. A seating type or a booking note marks the reservation as a Spice one.

Per person, before tax and gratuity

GMCVB’s FAQ says prices are per person and do not include tax or gratuity. The same words sit beside the price on the menu page.

The table card and the web menu match

GMCVB’s FAQ says a diner should receive a Spice menu alongside the regular menu, and should ask the server if it is not presented. A web menu that matches the card in the dining room keeps that conversation short.

What a Spice ready restaurant site costs

Pricing depends on scope and is set in the written proposal, and published prices are subject to change. The work is a menu page, a booking setup and a few lines of copy, and it is priced as that.

Progression’s listed site prices

These are the fixed-scope prices on our website design and development page. Hosting and maintenance are separate.

Lunch at $40, dinner at $50 or $65, Reserve from $95

GMCVB’s 2026 pricing structure puts brunch and lunch menus at $40, dinner menus from $50 to $65, and a new Miami Spice Reserve, a premium tier for restaurants with higher everyday price points, with prix-fixe and tasting menus beginning at $95. Website design in Miami for a Spice restaurant names the tier the restaurant is in.

Which tier is the restaurant in?

The restaurant’s own menu decides. A restaurant with higher everyday price points may be in Reserve, and GMCVB answers participation questions at MiamiSpice@GMCVB.com.

The page lists the three courses with the choices in each, and it links the everyday menu so the saving is plain to see. Diners decide faster when they can compare.

• Name the tier in the page title or the first line.
• List every course and every choice as page text.
• Link the everyday menu beside the Spice menu.
• Date the price line with the season.

Website design in Miami, FL, when the season runs long

GMCVB’s FAQ says the program runs strictly through the end of September unless GMCVB announces otherwise. In 2026 GMCVB extended it through October 31, and its Miami Spice page said select restaurants were extending their menus through October.

Who decides when Spice ends?

GMCVB sets the program’s dates, and the restaurant sets its own last night within them. The page states the restaurant’s date.

A web development agency in Miami builds the page to state the restaurant’s own last Spice night, which may not be the program’s. A diner reading the page in the last week should not have to guess.

• State the restaurant’s last Spice night in plain words.
• Do not assume the restaurant is in an extension.
• Point diners to miamispice.com for the list of restaurants taking part in an extension, as GMCVB did on September 14, 2026.
• Close the booking option on the last night.

No ticket office, so the booking page carries it

GMCVB’s FAQ describes no printed brochure, newsletter or ticketing system. The restaurant’s booking tool is the ticket office. A Spice option or a seating type marks the reservation, the confirmation message repeats the tier and the night, and the phone script matches the page.

Where does a Spice booking begin?

On the restaurant’s phone or its site, since GMCVB takes none. The page’s job is to make the site the easier of the two.

A web designer in Miami can set up the booking tool and test it before the season opens. Our booking website design page covers the tools.

• Offer Spice as a seating type or a booking note.
• Repeat the tier and the night in the confirmation.
• Write the host stand’s phone script from the web page.
• Test a booking from a phone before the first night.

The donation QR code online as well

GMCVB’s release says Camillus House is the official nonprofit beneficiary and participating restaurants are given the opportunity to feature QR codes on their menus that allow diners to donate. Diners may also donate at camillus.org.

Should the page say how much was raised?

No. The page makes no claim about a match or a total, and leaves any figure to Camillus House.

If the restaurant prints the code, the web menu carries the same link. The wording stays plain and respectful about the people Camillus House serves, and the page makes no claim about a match or a total.

• Use the same link on the web menu as on the printed code.
• Name Camillus House plainly and leave its description to its own site.
• Leave amounts, matches and totals off the page.

A Spice menu a phone can read

Most Miami web design treats the menu as a picture of the printed card. A phone cannot enlarge a picture without losing the lines, and a screen reader cannot read it at all.

Can a PDF menu stay on the site?

A PDF can be offered as a download for printing. The menu a diner reads on the page is text, so the phone and the screen reader can use it.

The menu is page text. Allergens and course choices read on a phone and by a screen reader, and the page loads quickly on a cellular connection. Our website for restaurants page covers the rest of the restaurant site.

• Write the menu as headings and lines of text.
• Mark allergens in words, not only in symbols.
• Keep photographs small and described.
• Test the page on a phone on a cellular connection.

The night the Spice page comes down

After the restaurant’s last Spice night, the page says so plainly and points to the everyday menu. The booking option closes the same night. Website design in Miami that plans the last night as carefully as the first leaves no stale page behind.

When does next season’s page start?

When GMCVB announces its prices. Until then the page stays closed and the everyday menu leads.

The same page comes back next season with next season’s price, which GMCVB announces in its own release. Website design in Miami for the next season starts when that release arrives.

• Write the last-night message before the season opens.
• Close the booking option on the same night.
• Link the everyday menu from the closing message.
• Keep next season’s page in draft until GMCVB announces its prices.

A plain check before the season opens

A few minutes with the menu page, the booking tool and the confirmation email finds most of what a diner would find. Website design in Miami for a restaurant is done when each of these passes on a phone.

• Open the menu page on a phone and read the Spice price aloud.
• Book a Spice table from the homepage and count the taps.
• Read the confirmation message for the tier and the night.
• Compare the web menu with the card on the table.
• Ask a host to answer the four GMCVB checks from the page alone.
