A website for caterers, live in minutes
The form is the product. Every field it forgets to ask is an email you have to send.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
There is no shop, no opening time and nothing to walk into. Everything this business earns starts as an enquiry, and most enquiries arrive missing the three facts that decide whether you can even do it.
So the form asks for the date, the number of people, where it is and roughly what the budget is, before anything else. Clay builds the site from your Google listing, and the work is photographed underneath, because somebody choosing a caterer is choosing on evidence and has never tasted anything.
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.
Date, headcount, place, budget
Those four decide whether the job is possible, and an enquiry without them costs two emails and a day before anybody knows. Ask them in the form.
Give a range rather than a box. People do not know what catering costs and will leave a budget field blank rather than guess wrong, which loses you the enquiry you wanted most.
Photographs of real events, not plates
A table laid at somebody's wedding says more than any dish shot on a white background. Show the setting, the scale and the people.
Say what you have actually done. Sixty for a wedding, two hundred for a company day, a christening for thirty. Numbers are what somebody matches themselves against.
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.

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.
Should I put prices on the page?
A per head range, yes. Nobody expects a fixed price for an event, and no number at all means every enquiry starts with the same email.
What should the form ask first?
The date. If you are booked, everything else is a conversation you both wasted, and it is one field.
Do I need a booking system?
Not for the job itself, but a tasting or a site visit is an appointment: how the booking works.
