So due to certain circumstances, I have to make a website for a restaurant. We bought a domain at EASYCGI and we may use one of the default templates from CM4all. So any tips? Also, kinda interested in buying that business gmail thing, what would be the benefit of that if EASYCGI gives us enough @domain emails?

I dunno much about restaurant websites. I imagine it's all about style, and you don't really need to do anything fancy code-wise. And you don't need Google Apps for your purposes, imo. Yeah, you'll get a better mail system, but does it really matter?

It should work out okay.
I'll certainly take that into account.

Is there any convenient way to make your website bilingual? I'm using weebly atm and I may switch over to wordpress T_T...

Why not just use static pages? You don't need dynamic, database-driven stuff for a restaurant website. You could pick a theme from OSWD or something, customize it, add text to it in notepad or whatever. It's not technically fancy, but it'll work fine and you should be able to implement it easily assuming you have basic understanding of HTML.
As for making it bilingual, the tech-fancy way would be to have English and French paragraphs be hidden within a page using JavaScript, allowing you to display either one based on user selection. The less fancy but easier way would be to duplicate the site into English and French versions. Each version would have a link to switch to the other language in the website header. Considering it's only a couple pages, it's no big deal. index_e.html, index_f.html, menu_e.html, menu_f.html, etc.
