Free first draft, fixed price from $499, paid at launch." url: "https://ciderwebsites.com/website-design/cafes" --- Website design for cafés and coffee shops # Café and coffee shop websites, designed and built for you Most people open a café or coffee shop website to check three things fast: what's on the menu, whether you're open right now, and how to order ahead and skip the line. We do the design and the building and send a free first draft in 5 to 7 business days. Nothing is due until you choose to launch, and then it's one fixed fee from $499. [Start your site](https://ciderwebsites.com/start?plan=launch_small) [See pricing](https://ciderwebsites.com/pricing) - Free first draft - Fixed price from $499 - Pay only at launch We usually recommend the [Website launch](https://ciderwebsites.com/pricing#launch): up to 5 pages, $499 once. ## What a café website needs The menu as real text, hours that are always right, and order-ahead and beans right at the top. - **The menu as text, not a photo of the board** Espresso drinks, tea, food, milk options and prices on a real page that loads quickly on a phone signal. When the seasonal drink or the pastry case changes, it's a quick edit, and search engines can read every item. - **Order ahead from the first screen** A clear *Order ahead* button on the first screen and in a sticky bar on phones. It opens your own ordering page, so the ticket prints on the same tablet behind the bar that your walk-in orders do. - **Hours, including the odd ones** Weekday and weekend hours, early closes, holiday changes and when the kitchen stops serving food, written as text on every page. Nobody should have to call to find out whether you're open at 3 p.m. on a Sunday. - **Beans and retail between visits** The roast of the week with its origin, process and tasting notes, bag sizes and grind options, and a button to wherever you already sell beans or subscriptions. The website keeps selling coffee on the days people brew at home. - **Work-friendly details, said plainly** Wi-Fi, outlets, laptop hours, seating and whether you take calls inside. People who work remotely search for exactly this, and answering it online saves your baristas the same question at the counter. - **The room and the people behind the bar** Photos of the space, the bar and the team, with the story of the place and where your coffee comes from. A café is chosen for how it feels as much as for what's in the cup. - **Found by people on the next block** Your name, address and phone written the same everywhere, page titles that name your neighborhood, and a home page light enough to load for someone deciding on the sidewalk. ## Sample sites we've designed Sites we designed and built for made-up businesses, to show what we do: open one on your phone and try it. On your site, booking, ordering and shop buttons open the tools you already use. - [Coffee shop and roastery Ember Coffee (opens in a new tab) Order ahead · Roast of the week · Loyalty card](https://ciderwebsites.com/work/ember-coffee) - [Neighbourhood bakery Harbor Street Bakery (opens in a new tab) Menu · Cake orders · Opening hours](https://ciderwebsites.com/work/harbor-bakery) [See all the work](https://ciderwebsites.com/work) ## The pages a café site usually has - Home - Menu (coffee, tea, food and seasonal drinks) - Beans, subscriptions and wholesale - About the café, the team and sourcing - Visit us: hours, location and Wi-Fi ### Which plan fits Most cafés fit on a handful of pages: home, the menu, beans with subscriptions and wholesale, your story, and a visit page with hours and Wi-Fi. That's the **Website launch**: up to 5 pages for $499, paid once when you launch. ### What we connect Your order-ahead and point of sale (Square, Toast, Clover or similar) keep running the counter, and the site's buttons open them, along with your loyalty program, gift cards, bean subscriptions and reviews. We take no commission on your orders, and if you switch providers we update the link. ## Common mistakes, and how we avoid them - **A photo of the chalkboard as the menu** It's hard to read on a phone, invisible to search, and wrong the day oat milk changes price. A text menu stays readable, searchable and easy to change. - **Order-ahead buried in the footer** If someone has to hunt for the ordering link, they'll walk in and wait in line, or go to the café whose button they found first. It belongs at the top of the page. - **Hours that disagree with Google** Many people check your Google listing first and your website second. When the two say different things, they don't know which to trust, and someone eventually arrives at a locked door. - **Slow video of latte art on the home page** It's lovely, and it loads slowly for the person standing outside on a weak signal. A good still photo and a fast page do more during the morning rush. ## How it works Three steps, and most of the work is ours. 1. 5 minutes **Tell us about your business** The short form, or a chat with the team. Send photos, your logo, your menu: whatever you have. 2. 5 to 7 business days **Get your free first draft** Screenshots for computer and phone and a private preview link (2 to 3 business days with priority, overnight with rush). Ask for changes in plain words until it's right. 3. When you're ready **Approve, pay and launch** Pay the fixed launch fee only when you're happy. With the care plan, we put the site live on your domain and look after it; without it, we hand you the files to host yourself.

The launch fee doesn't cover hosting: that's the optional care plan, $49 a month or $490 a year, which also registers and renews your domain. A roaster with wholesale, subscriptions and several locations may suit the Pro launch. All our [prices are public](https://ciderwebsites.com/pricing), and our guide explains [what a small business website costs](https://ciderwebsites.com/guides/small-business-website-cost) in general. **Can customers order ahead from my café website?** Yes, through the ordering system you already use. We put an Order ahead button where people look for it and link it to your Square, Toast or other ordering page, so orders reach the bar exactly as they do now. **Do I need a website if my coffee shop is on Instagram?** In most cases, yes. Instagram shows the mood, but it's slow at answering hours, menu and directions, and plenty of people search before they visit without ever opening the app. Our guide [do I need a website](https://ciderwebsites.com/guides/do-i-need-a-website) goes through it. **Can I sell coffee beans or subscriptions on my website?** Yes, by linking the shop or subscription service you already use, such as a Shopify shop or your point of sale's online ordering. We design the beans page, the roast notes and the buttons; payments stay with the provider you chose. **How do I keep the menu and seasonal drinks up to date?** Send us the change in plain words and we make it. The care plan includes 4 small edits a month, which covers most seasonal menu swaps and holiday hours. **Will my café show up when people search for coffee nearby?** The basics are built in: page titles that say coffee shop and name your neighborhood, your address and hours written so search engines can read them, and pages that load quickly on phones. Local results also lean on your Google listing, which Google Business Profile upkeep can keep current, and [SEO & AEO care](https://ciderwebsites.com/services#search) handles the ongoing search work.
