A website for your café in The Hague
Search your café and Clay builds a real website, your photos, hours, reviews and a map, ready in minutes.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
A stately, international government-and-seaside city where diplomatic polish, a strong Indo-Dutch food heritage and beachside living give independents a more elegant, cosmopolitan edge.
Den Haag's cafe scene has a refined, international air, with specialty spots around the Zeeheldenkwartier, Denneweg and the Reinkenstraat serving flat whites and filter to a diplomatic and expat crowd. Appeltaart still appears, but so do Indo sweets and a beach-cafe culture out at Scheveningen. Whatever your café is known for, Clay turns your Google listing into a real website, photos, hours, reviews and a map, so people in The Hague find you and know what to expect before they visit.
Two cities in one, and a beach
The Hague runs on an international crowd that turns over every three years and a Dutch one that has been here forever, and a café usually leans one way without meaning to. The Zeeheldenkwartier and Denneweg crowd will read an English menu; the Reinkenstraat crowd would rather you did not.
And then there is Scheveningen, where the season is the weather and a wet July costs a coastal café its year. Hours that are right today matter more here than anywhere else on this list.
Why Clay
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

What you get
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.
Should the page be in Dutch or English for an expat neighbourhood?
Clay generates in Dutch because the business is Dutch. If your regulars are diplomats and internationals, rewriting the headline and the menu in English is one edit and the practical half, hours, address, map, phone, reads fine untranslated. Owners who serve both usually leave the Dutch and add an English line under the headline.
A lot of my customers are internationals. Can the page suit both?
The site is generated in Dutch, and you can rewrite any part of it in English in the editor. What matters most to somebody who has just arrived in The Hague, the address, the opening hours, the map, the price list, reads the same in either language, and those are the parts nobody has to translate.
Can I show my menu?
Yes, Clay has a menu widget with sections, prices and photos. A café that generates from Google gets a menu block pre-filled, ready for you to tweak.
