A website for your café.
A café lives on regulars and passers-by. Your website is how someone new decides to walk in, so it should show the feel of the place, what you serve, when you're open and where you are — and give regulars a reason to come back.
Design yours now — the brief is ready
A cosy, modern website for an independent specialty café: a hero photo of the space with opening hours and a Find us button, a menu of coffee, breakfast and bakes with vegan and gluten-free labels, a section on the local roaster we work with, an events list, and a newsletter sign-up. Warm oat, espresso brown and sage colours with a friendly rounded font.

What a café website needs
The sections worth building, and why each one earns its place.
Menu highlights
Coffee, food and bakes with dietary labels. You don't need every syrup listed; show what you're known for and what's in season.
Hours and location, near the top
Visiting a café is usually a same-day decision. Hours, a map and a nearby landmark answer "can I go now?"
The space
Photos of the seating, the light, the plug points and any outdoor tables tell people working remotely, parents and friends meeting up whether it suits them.
Where your coffee comes from
If you care about your beans, roaster or suppliers, say so. It's a genuine reason to choose you over a chain.
Events and community
Tastings, open-mic nights, local art or a book club turn a café into somewhere people plan to visit. A simple events list keeps it current.
Ordering ahead
If you offer order-ahead or delivery, link to it clearly so commuters can skip the queue.
A newsletter or loyalty sign-up
A short sign-up for news and offers gives you a way to bring people back that doesn't depend on social media.
Tips that get more people to act
- Lead with a photo that captures the atmosphere, not just a cup of coffee.
- Say clearly whether you have Wi-Fi, plug points, step-free access or a dog-friendly policy — people look for these.
- Keep the menu page short and easy to scan on a phone held in one hand in a queue.
- Show your Instagram if it's active, but don't make it the only place your hours and news live.
What to avoid
- Last season's menu still online months later.
- A home page that is only a logo and a slideshow.
- Hours that don't match your Google listing.
- Small, low-contrast text laid over photos.

Often one well-built page is enough: the atmosphere, menu highlights, hours, location, and a contact or order link. Add separate pages for a full menu, events or catering if you offer them.
Yes, at least the highlights with dietary labels. People check before they visit, especially those with allergies or dietary preferences.
Instagram is good for showing new bakes and the atmosphere, but it's not a reliable place for hours, menus and directions, and not everyone uses it. A website gives you a stable home that you control and that shows up on Google.
