When Mark came to us in 2019, he was in the process of opening a restaurant in Starkville, MS – 1883 Smokehouse. He needed a website to promote the new business and IT services to help manage his Clover System orders, online and in person. We presented him with a plan to build a WordPress site with the option of taking online orders.
The project involved:
- Purchasing him a new domain name
- Building a WordPress site on FGEN IT’s dedicated server
- Developing a custom website base on the current logo
- Analyzing the business to determine appropriate content
- Writing new content
- Collecting and presenting new images and content
- Configuring Clover to take online orders
- Managing the in-restaurant Clover system
In 2020, FGEN IT reworked the website to use Astra and Elementor. In 2022 FGEN IT reworked the site to go completely mobile.
Original Framework:
- CRM – WordPress
- Theme: Genesis
- Forms: Gravity Forms
- Caching: WP Rocket
- Security: IThemes Security
During and after the project, FGEN IT supported the 1883 Smokehouse with IT recommendations, email management, and business decisions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, FGEN IT reworked the site and helped the company go to an all-online ordering system that allowed the restaurant to stay open
As of 2022, 1883 Smokehouse closed its restaurant.

Framework:
