Web design for cafés
Most café visits are decided on a phone, a few streets away. A website that answers “are they open, what do they have, where are they” in seconds.
- Menu first
- Hours always right

(01) What it needs
What a café’s website needs.
People rarely research a café for long. They are nearby, hungry and on their phone, and they want to know if you are open, what is on the menu and how to get there. Any of those missing and they pick the next place on the map.
A good café site is fast and simple: the menu as real text, opening hours that match Google, directions in a tap, and enough of the atmosphere in the photos that people want to come in.
-
01
The menu as real text
Easy to read on a phone and found by Google, with dietary options marked.
-
02
Hours that match
The same opening hours on the site and your Google Business Profile, every week.
-
03
What’s on
Events, specials and seasonal menus, updated by you.
(02) The rules
What it must get right.
-
01
Allergen information
Customers must be able to get information about the 14 major allergens in your food. A website should tell people how to ask, and never replace asking.
-
02
Hygiene rating
In England showing your food hygiene rating online is voluntary, but customers look for it, and a good one is worth showing.
-
03
Prices including VAT
Prices shown to the public must include VAT and any compulsory charges.
A guide, not legal advice: we build the site to fit the rules you work under, and you confirm the details that are yours.
(03) Plans and prices
Fixed price. You know the number before we start.
Most cafés do well with a one-page Starter site (£495): menu, hours, location and photos. The Local Business site (£895) adds pages for events, catering and private hire.

(Questions)
Asked by cafés
Can I update the menu myself?
Yes, on the Local Business site: it comes with a CMS, so you can change the menu, hours and specials without calling us.
Is a one-page website enough for a café?
Often, yes. Menu, hours, location, photos and contact cover what most customers need.
How do I show up when people search “café near me”?
That search mostly ends in the map results, so a complete Google Business Profile with photos, the right hours and reviews matters most, with your website linked from it.
Tell us what you need, and you’ll have a fixed price and a date within 24 to 48 hours.
