A website for your café in Rotterdam
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 rebuilt, no-nonsense port city with a maker's mentality, where bold modern architecture, a huge multicultural food scene and roll-up-your-sleeves independents beat any canal-side nostalgia.
Rotterdam's coffee culture is young and design-driven, full of concept roasters and industrial spaces in Katendrecht, Noord and along Nieuwe Binnenweg. People drink flat whites and filter over appeltaart, and the Fenix Food Factory and Markthal anchor a weekend brunch-and-specialty-coffee habit. Whatever your café is known for, Clay turns your Google listing into a real website, photos, hours, reviews and a map, so people in Rotterdam find you and know what to expect before they visit.
A new building every quarter
Rotterdam turns over faster than any city on this list. A roaster opens in a rebuilt warehouse on Nieuwe Binnenweg, a food hall changes half its units, and the neighbourhood a guidebook described two years ago is not the one somebody walks into. Anything printed goes stale; the address on the door does not.
Which is the argument for a page rather than a post: your hours, your beans and your third location change on the site and the same link keeps working on the window, the cup and the bio.
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.
We move roasts and menus constantly. How fast can I change the page?
You edit the live page itself, there is no draft to publish and no preview to flip between, so a price or a new single origin is live as you type it. The one thing that is not instant is Google: your normal opening week comes from your Business Profile, so change it there and the site takes it.
Most of my customers find me on Instagram. Is a site still worth it?
It is the thing the Instagram link points at. A bio link that opens a page with your hours, your address and what you sell answers the question people came with; a profile grid does not. And unlike the grid, it is yours, Rotterdam is full of businesses that built an audience on a platform and then lost the reach overnight.
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.
