A website for your café in London
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 sprawling city of village-like high streets where independent flat-white cafés, gastropubs, craft-beer taprooms and boutique fitness studios define hyper-local neighborhood culture.
London helped define modern specialty coffee, and the flat white, popularized by Antipodean baristas, is the default order in independent cafés from Shoreditch to Peckham. Brunch is a serious weekend ritual, and neighborhood roasteries serving single-origin pour-overs sit alongside classic greasy-spoon caffs and their fry-ups. Whatever your café is known for, Clay turns your Google listing into a real website, photos, hours, reviews and a map, so people in London find you and know what to expect before they visit.
Rent, a commuter peak, and Sunday
London's café economics are the tightest here: the rent means the morning peak has to carry the day, and a Shoreditch or Dalston site that is quiet between ten and twelve is in trouble in a way a Lisbon one is not.
Sunday is the compensation. Peckham and Dalston on a Sunday are the best trading day of the week, and a café whose website still says the weekday hours loses that customer to whoever answered the question first.
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 it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.

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.
Our weekend hours are different. Does the site get that right?
It reads your whole week from your Google Business Profile, day by day, and says the line rather than the table, "Open until 17:00", "Opens tomorrow at 09:00". A day with a break keeps both of its periods. If the week on Google is right, the week on the site is right.
My rent is high enough. What does this actually cost?
Nothing to have. The site is live and free on your own name.clay.site with a small badge in the footer; the paid plan is a custom domain, the badge removed and the pro features. There is no trial clock and nothing expires.
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.
