A website for your café in Rome
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
Rome moves to the rhythm of the neighbourhood bar and trattoria, where cucina romana, standing espressos and long aperitivi define an unhurried, deeply local everyday life.
Coffee is a fast, standing ritual at the bar: a caffè or cappuccino with a cornetto in the morning, and never a cappuccino after lunch. Historic bars like Sant'Eustachio and Tazza d'Oro define the old-school style, while a small specialty-coffee wave has crept into Monti and Pigneto for the flat-white crowd. Whatever your café is known for, Clay turns your Google listing into a real website, photos, hours, reviews and a map, so people in Rome find you and know what to expect before they visit.
Al banco, and the price on the wall
Rome runs on the counter. A caffè al banco is a euro and a bit and takes ninety seconds, and the difference between the counter price and the table price is a thing every Roman knows and every visitor finds out badly. Publishing both is the single most useful thing a Roman bar can put on a page.
Trastevere, Monti and Pigneto each have their own hour for it, and the neighbourhood decides whether you are a morning business or an evening one long before you do.
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

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 charge differently at the counter and at a table. Can the menu show both?
Yes, a menu row carries a name, a description and a price, so the usual answer is two rows or a note in the description. It is real text on the page rather than a photograph of a price list, which means a phone can read it aloud and translate it, which is exactly the customer who was going to be surprised.
Do I need to write anything myself?
Not to publish. The first version is written from your Google listing and your reviews, and most owners then change three or four sentences to sound like themselves. A Roman trattoria that has been open forty years usually has one paragraph it wants said exactly right; that is the one to write.
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.
