It’s 12:56am Friday morning. I finished 99% of the first version of the website Thursday. The only thing left to do is customize the submission form for submitting menus and some SEO stuff. I moved the site to the production server and began testing. There was a few snags on the import, some of my localhost settings came over which created some 500 server errors but I got those taken care of quickly with the awesome tech support at site5 hosting.

Em is hard at work creating a spreadsheet of restaurants we plan to upload to the database. I’ve been scanning and touching up menus and have begun to add the first restaurants to the database. So far we have, Pono Market, Korean BBQ, Sushi Katsu, Monico’s, Deli & Bread, and Harley’s Tropical BBQ working on the site.

I don’t want to launch the website to the public until we have a lot more menus. I need to help my dad at his business tomorrow so I won’t be able to work on the website until that night. Still shooting for a Saturday or Sunday launch. If possible i’d like to get 100 restaurant menus in there, but I guess if we get 50 at launch, that is not bad. If you have some menus that you could send in, please do, you can send them to ryan(at)eatkauai.com.

Thanks to everybody who have been leaving suggestions on the facebook fan page. We’re working hard trying to get those for you guys.

See you all tomorrow for another site update!
