A website for patisseries, live in minutes
Somebody ordering a cake for Saturday is the most valuable customer you have, and the phone is the worst way to take it.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
The window sells what is in it today. The page sells what somebody needs on the twelfth, and those are two different businesses in one shop.
So the ordering form asks for the date, the size, the writing on it and the collection time, and it takes a deposit. Clay builds the site from your Google listing, and the cabinet is photographed properly underneath, because nobody orders a cake from a shop whose work they have not seen.
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.
A date, a size, and what it says on top
Every one of those is asked on the phone, badly, while you have flour on your hands. On a form they arrive typed, with a name and a number beside them.
How much notice you need is the field people get wrong. Put it at the top of the form rather than in the confirmation, where it is already too late.
Photographed properly, because that is the argument
This is a trade judged entirely by looking. Six good photographs of your own work beat any sentence about quality that has ever been written.
Show the ones people order rather than the showpiece. The wedding cake wins the compliment and the birthday cake pays the wages.
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.
Why take a deposit?
Because a cake made for somebody who does not turn up is a day's work and the ingredients. A card held is the difference.
What should the form ask?
Date, size, flavour, the writing, a collection time and a phone number. Anything else can be settled in the reply.
Do I need a shop as well?
Only if you sell boxed things that travel: what a shop band adds. The order form is the part that earns.
