A website for your café in Porto
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 granite riverside city of historic cafés, hearty tascas and port-wine cellars, prouder and more traditional than Lisbon, with a growing independent creative scene.
The grand historic cafés like the Majestic anchor a strong coffee-house tradition, where a cimbalino espresso is the local term for a bica. Cedofeita has become the hub of Porto's specialty-coffee and independent scene, though pastelarias serving nata and the local jesuíta pastry still rule mornings. Whatever your café is known for, Clay turns your Google listing into a real website, photos, hours, reviews and a map, so people in Porto find you and know what to expect before they visit.
A francesinha city that learned filter
Porto's café habit is older and cheaper than Lisbon's and the specialty scene arrived later, which means a place in Cedofeita or Bonfim is often the only one of its kind on its street. That is a good position and a lonely one: nobody walks past looking for you, so you have to be findable.
And the Ribeira is a different city from the rest, visitor-priced, visitor-hours, and almost nobody local.
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.
Nobody walks past us. What actually gets us found?
Real text at your own address with the trade, the street and the city in it, plus structured data and your Google reviews on the page, which is what a search engine wants and what a photograph of a menu is not. When Google indexes it is Google's decision; what we control is that there is something proper to index.
Can I keep it simple? I do not want a big website.
Then keep the bands you want and remove the rest: hours, a map, a few photographs and a phone number is a perfectly good Clay site. A tasca in Porto does not need a shop or a booking calendar, and a page that carries an empty one is worse than a page without 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.
