A website for a cafe: what it looks like and what goes into it

Most cafes today live on Instagram and Google Maps. That is fine, but it is borrowed ground - an algorithm decides who sees your post, and guests often end up at the competition because they could not find your opening hours or your menu. Your own website fixes that: it is the one place you control and that represents you 24/7.

What a cafe website should contain

You do not need a big online shop. For a cafe, a clean one-pager page where a guest finds everything that matters within seconds:

• The atmosphere - big, good photos of the interior, the coffee and the desserts. That is 80 % of the decision.
• The opening hours and the address with a link to maps.
• The menu - coffee, desserts, breakfast; a taste of it is fine, it does not have to be the full price list.
• Contact - phone, email, a link to Instagram.
• Optionally table booking or an invitation to events.

The key is speed and mobile - most guests open the site on a phone on their way to you. It has to load instantly and look great on a small screen.

Real examples

These are exactly the sites I build. The latest one is live: Mana Caffè - a cosy cafe with a touch of Art Deco in Pilsen. A one-page site with a gallery, the menu and online table booking, built from its own photos and atmosphere rather than a bought template.

I built sites for Coffee Park, Kavárna K and a cat cafe the same way - each with its own character, taken from the brand. You can look at them in the portfolio on the Websites page.

A custom design around your brand - from your photos and your atmosphere, not another template off the internet.

How it goes - and why within 24 hours

I do not work like an agency where a website waits in a queue for weeks. I take one project at a time and work on it in one go:

1. Brief - a short call: what you need, your materials, your photos.
2. Design - I build the design and the structure around your brand.
3. Website - I code the whole responsive one-pager.
4. Live - we fine-tune the details, I put it live on your domain and sort the hosting.

From brief to finished site I get it done within 24 hours. I write the copy and lay out the sections for you - you just supply the photos and a few details.

What it costs

I build a done-for-you one-page website for a one-off 9,900 CZK (~€400), plus hosting with a domain and small tweaks for 300 CZK a month (or 3,000 CZK a year). No hidden items. And above all: you do not pay until you are happy. I write more about pricing in the article How much a custom website costs.
