A website for your café in Marseille
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
Marseille is loud, Mediterranean and proudly independent, where North African influence, sea-facing terrasses and a scrappy creative scene shape its bars, kitchens and shops.
Café life is sun-soaked and unhurried, with pastis-hour terrasses doubling as morning coffee spots around the Vieux-Port and Cours Julien. Noailles brings North African and Comorian flavours, mint tea and street snacks, while a specialty-coffee and brunch scene has grown fast in the Cours Ju and Le Panier quarters. Whatever your café is known for, Clay turns your Google listing into a real website, photos, hours, reviews and a map, so people in Marseille find you and know what to expect before they visit.
Seasons that swing harder than anywhere
Marseille's summer is not busier, it is a different business: the Vieux-Port and the Panier fill with people who will never come back, while the Cours Julien regulars go away for August. A café that plans one year plans two.
And the city is more spread out than it looks on a map. Noailles, the Panier and the Cours Ju are three separate customer bases, and somebody in one of them will not cross town on a maybe.
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.
Do we need a different page for the summer?
No, and it would be a second thing to keep in step. The hours, the menu and the line under the headline are all edited in place on the live page, so a summer menu is a change rather than a page, and the address never moves, which is the point of having one.
My customers message me rather than book. Does that still work?
It works better. Your phone number and WhatsApp sit on the page with the message pre-filled, next to whatever else you offer. Online booking is there to take the easy requests off your phone, not to stop people writing to you, which in Marseille they will do anyway.
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.
