A readable text menu
A menu built as page text fits any screen, can show dietary tags and is easier to update than a PDF. Search engines can read your dishes too.

Cafe website design.
Before anyone walks in for coffee or brunch, they check on their phone whether you are open, what is on the menu and how to find you.
We design websites for Australian cafes that answer those questions in seconds, with a menu that reads properly on a phone and hours people can trust.
What a cafe website needs
- A menu that reads well on a phone
- Public holiday and seasonal hours
- Directions, parking and transport
- Bookings or a clear walk-in policy
- Your coffee, roaster and beans
- Your dishes, room and shopfront
Menus and opening hours
Open today? Menu at a glance.
Cafe decisions happen fast, often on a phone on the way somewhere. People want to know if the kitchen is open, whether there is something for their diet and where the door is. A PDF menu or an old social post slows all of that down.
A good cafe website removes doubt before the visit. A text menu marks vegan and gluten-free options and public holiday hours stop wasted trips. A short note on bookings or walk-ins sets expectations for the weekend rush.
We build cafe websites that load quickly on mobile data and still feel like your place. Your dishes, your coffee and your room come through in real photos, with the practical details close at hand.

Common cafe questions answered
Why use a text menu instead of a PDF?
PDF menus are hard to read on a phone and slow to load on mobile data. A text menu fits the screen, can show dietary tags and can be read by search engines when people look for a dish nearby.
Can we update specials and seasonal dishes?
Yes. On our Launch Website you can send menu changes to us as part of ongoing maintenance. If your specials change weekly, we plan the menu section so changes are quick and do not break the layout.
How should bookings and walk-ins be shown?
If you take bookings, we link to or embed your reservation platform. If you are walk-in only, a short note near your hours explains how seating works and when you are busiest.
Can we sell coffee beans or gift vouchers online?
We can add simple purchase links for beans, equipment or gift vouchers. If you plan a larger online store with shipping and stock, our ecommerce builds are a better fit.
How much does a website for a cafe cost?
An independent cafe can start on our Launch Website at $49/month ($199 setup. Or $599 once-off with first-year hosting included, then $199/year. Domain registration is separate. Changes are agreed before work begins.). Cafes that also offer catering or functions can choose Launch Plus at $99/month ($499 setup. Or $2,500 once-off with first-year hosting included, then $199/year. Domain registration is separate. Changes are agreed before work begins.). Cafe groups and function venues that need up to 15 pages usually suit our Business Website, which ranges from $4,000 to $9,000.
