Website Design for cafes

Website design plans and builds a site around how your customers choose and contact you, from the page structure to the details that build trust. For cafes, that means getting current menu and hours, location and seating and order ahead options right, because locals and passers-by looking for coffee and food want to check the menu, visit or order ahead without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Locals and passers-by looking for coffee and food want to check the menu, visit or order ahead.

A cafe website usually has to handle a menu page that is easy to update, order ahead for pickup and staff recruitment page.

A menu page that is easy to update: cafe menus and specials change often. Let staff update specials and hours without a developer.

Order ahead for pickup: regulars want to skip the queue. Offer pickup times the kitchen can meet in the morning rush.

Staff recruitment page: cafes hire baristas and kitchen staff often. List shifts and roles, and accept a quick application from a phone.
