A Chef for all Seasons
A Chef for all Seasons is a leading temporary chef recruitment agency founded by Managing Director Damian Yelland.
They approached QED Web Design to create a bespoke multi-page website that reflected their professionalism, expanded network, and decades of experience in the hospitality industry.
The new website successfully brought their brand to life online and positioned them as a trusted name for chef recruitment across the UK.
About the client:
A chef for all seasons
Based in the UK, A Chef for all Seasons connects talented chefs with hospitality venues in need of temporary support.
Drawing on years of experience both behind the stove and in chef recruitment, the company provides a dependable service for hotels, restaurants, and catering businesses. Their reputation for reliability, speed, and understanding of the industry makes them a standout in the competitive chef recruitment sector.
The Challenge
Before our launch, A Chef for all Seasons had no modern digital presence that represented the calibre of their work. Their growing network needed a website that could attract both clients and candidates while showcasing available chef jobs clearly. The goal was to build an SEO-friendly, mobile-optimised site that loaded quickly and reflected their dynamic, professional brand. A particular design request was to incorporate a ‘tab grab’ menu — a creative nod to the way chefs organise kitchen tickets — while ensuring that performance and accessibility were not compromised.
The Solution
QED Web Design developed a custom WordPress website tailored to A Chef for all Seasons’ recruitment needs. The build focused on usability, clean navigation, and fast performance. We implemented:
- A bespoke ‘tab grab’ menu design
- SSL certificate and global CDN for security and speed
- Modern image formats for optimised load times
- Fully responsive layouts for mobile and tablet users
- Integrated GA4 and Google Search Console for performance tracking
- SEO setup targeting “temporary chef recruitment” and “chef jobs” keywords
The Results
Since launch, the A Chef for all Seasons website has performed strongly for its target keywords, consistently ranking on Google for relevant searches like temporary chef recruitment and chef jobs UK.
The implementation of best SEO practices and structured data helped improve visibility and click-through rates. The client’s digital presence now matches their professional reputation, with measurable improvements in user engagement and traffic quality.
“The site’s functionality and branding perfectly capture what we do. The design and SEO performance have exceeded our expectations.”
– Damian Yelland, Managing Director
