A website for sushi restaurants, live in minutes
This is the one kind of restaurant where the photograph genuinely does the selling.
Sushi is chosen with the eyes more than almost any other food, which makes a good photograph worth more here than anywhere and a bad one worth less than none.
So the page opens on the counter or the plate, and the menu sits under it with prices. Clay builds the site from your Google listing, and both the table and the collection order are on the same page, because half of what you sell leaves the building.
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.
Few, and good, rather than many
Six proper photographs beat forty taken under the restaurant's own lighting. If a picture makes the fish look grey it is doing active harm, and no picture at all is better.
Photograph the counter and the room as well. People choosing sushi for an occasion are choosing a place to sit as much as a plate.
Priced, with the sets named
Individual pieces, rolls, and the sets, each priced. Sets are how most people order and they are how you control what leaves the kitchen, so name them and price them clearly.
Allergens and what is cooked rather than raw deserve a line. It is asked at half the tables and answering it on the page saves the conversation.
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.
How many photographs should the page have?
Six good ones. A picture that makes the fish look grey does active harm, and for this food a bad photograph is worse than none at all.
Should the menu be on the page?
Yes, priced and readable on a phone. A photographed paper menu is unreadable on the device everybody is holding: how a menu page works.
Table booking or collection?
Both, on the same page. Half of what a sushi restaurant sells leaves the building, and the two customers arrive from the same search: how table booking works.
