Websites for cafés that want the menu read, not downloaded.
Almost every café site makes the same mistake: the menu is a PDF. On a phone that means pinching, zooming, and giving up. Your menu should be text on the page.
What your customers are actually doing
People search “breakfast near me” or your name plus “menu”, standing outside in the cold, deciding between you and the place across the road. They want three things in under ten seconds: are you open, what do you serve, and how do I get there.
What the site has to get right
The menu as real text, not a PDF
A PDF cannot be read comfortably on a phone and Google cannot read it at all. Text on the page can be searched, scaled, and found.
Today’s hours, obviously correct
Wrong hours cost you a customer and a review. We keep them in one place so a change takes one message.
One tap to directions
A map link that opens their maps app. Not an embedded map they have to pinch at.
Photographs of the actual food
Yours, not stock. This is the one vertical where photography genuinely sells, and a phone camera near a window is enough.
What we leave out
Autoplaying video and a splash screen. Both burn the seconds you have while somebody decides whether to come in.
What we'd actually build you
Home
Today's hours, where you are, and a photograph of the room. Someone deciding whether to walk another block needs those three things and nothing else.
Menu
Real text, grouped the way you'd say it out loud — coffee, breakfast, lunch, cake. Prices included. Dietary marks where they matter.
Find us
Address, a tap-to-open map link, parking, and the nearest useful landmark. Written for someone already outside on their phone.
Events or ordering
Only if you actually do it. A quiet events page is worse than no events page, because it makes the whole site look abandoned.
Questions
We can add ordering or a booking link. Which one depends on whether you want the commission fee — worth a conversation before you commit.
Send the change and it is live the same day. Menu edits count against your plan’s monthly edits.
You take them, we place them. Phone photos in daylight beat stock every time.
