A website for your café in Paris
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
Paris runs on café-terrasse ritual and a fierce independent streak, where third-wave roasters, natural-wine caves and family bistrots coexist across village-like arrondissements.
The classic Parisian café is a terrasse for an espresso or noisette and people-watching, often standing at the zinc bar for a quick coffee. Belleville, the 11th and South Pigalle now anchor a serious specialty-coffee scene, with roasters like Belleville Brûlerie and cafés pairing flat whites with a proper croissant or pain au chocolat. Whatever your café is known for, Clay turns your Google listing into a real website, photos, hours, reviews and a map, so people in Paris find you and know what to expect before they visit.
A terrasse licence and a five-table room
The room is small and the terrasse is the business, the pavement licence decides how many covers you actually have, and a café in the Marais with six tables inside and ten outside is really two different capacities depending on the month.
The other thing that is true here and almost nowhere else: a lot of Parisian cafés serve properly at lunch. A visitor deciding at half twelve is asking whether there is food, not whether there is coffee, and the page has to answer that before they walk on to the next one.
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.
We do lunch as well as coffee. Which does the page lead with?
Whichever people come to you for. Clay draws a menu band with real courses and prices, so lunch and coffee are two sections on one page rather than a choice, and the band goes above the fold on the page if that is what your customers are deciding about.
Le site sera-t-il en français?, will the site be in French?
Yes. Clay generates in the language of the country the business is in, so a Paris business gets a French site, including the booking wording and the opening-hours line. You can add an English version of any block yourself for the visitors who need it.
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.
