Café websites, NZ
Café website design in NZ that does the basics properly.
Most café websites are either a one-page Wix job that no one updates, or a Facebook page. People searching 'cafe near me in [your suburb]' deserve more than that, and so do you. A clean, fast café website with your hours, menu and a map is the cheapest marketing tool you've got.
What you actually get.
- Hours, menu, address, photos. Visible in 3 seconds.
- Built to rank for 'café [your suburb]' on Google.
- Easy menu updates. Change a price without calling someone.
- Mobile-first. 90% of café visits start on a phone.
- Done in a week. Live before any invoice goes out.
Cafés don't need a 20-page website. You need café website design that loads in under 2 seconds on a phone, shows your hours so clearly that no one has to ask, and looks the part on a Google search result. That's the whole game.
The thing most café websites get wrong: hiding the menu behind a PDF download, no Google Maps embed, photos that look 10 years old, no booking link if you take them. Visitors bounce. Google notices. You drop down the rankings.
I'll write your site copy in your voice, not corporate menu-speak. I'll set up your Google Business Profile properly so you show up in the local map pack, which is where most café traffic actually comes from. I'll add a one-tap phone number and directions link.
Most café websites I build land between $1.5k and $2.5k. Fixed price. You'll see the real working site on your phone before any money changes hands.
