A website for your butcher shop

A butcher's website has one advantage over almost every other shop: nobody is comparing you on price with a website in another country.

So the page is the counter and the order. Clay builds it from your Google listing, and on it go what is good this week, where the meat comes from, and a form for the joint somebody wants ready on Saturday morning. Your hours are on it, which is most of what people are checking.

Why Clay

01

It pulls your info from Google

No blank page. Clay reads your Google business listing and fills in your name, photos, hours, map and reviews automatically.

02

A real website, not just links

Menus, bookings, a shop, a gallery, contact, Clay is a full site that also works as a link-in-bio, not a list of buttons.

03

Live in minutes, free to start

Search, pick a style, publish. No signup to see it, no credit card, and a free live address at name.clay.site.

04

Yours to grow

Bring a custom domain, add pro widgets, run multiple sites. It scales from a bio link to a full business site.

Your photographs, already sorted

Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.

The counter

Where it comes from, and what is good this week

Naming the farm, the county or the breed is the whole difference between a butcher and a meat counter, and it is a sentence rather than a paragraph.

Under it, this week: what has just come in, what is worth cooking, what is on offer. Changed from behind the counter in a minute.

The order form is the whole point

A three bone rib, a boned and rolled shoulder, twenty sausages for a party. These are ordered ahead and they are the orders worth having, and almost every butcher takes them by phone during the busiest hour of the week.

A form takes them at eleven at night instead, with the cut, the weight and the day written down rather than remembered.

What you can switch on

Every one of these is part of your site, not a plugin to install. Turn on what you use and leave the rest off.

Questions

How long does it really take?

Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.

Is it free?

Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.

Do I need any tech skills?

None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.

Can people order ahead?

Yes, with a form that asks the cut, the weight and the day. It takes the orders that currently arrive by phone during your busiest hour, and it takes them at eleven at night with everything written down.

Do I need a full online shop?

Usually not. A butcher's orders are collected, not posted, so a form beats a checkout: what a shop band adds if you do want to sell online as well.

What is worth putting on the page every week?

One line about what has just come in. It takes a minute from behind the counter, it is the reason somebody comes back to the page, and no other shop on the street is doing it.
