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 write dish names in full?
Yes. People search the dish rather than the cuisine, usually by its Thai name, and the restaurant that wrote it out is the one that appears.
How important are heat marks?
They are the most read thing on the menu. A mark answers in a second what a paragraph does not answer at all.
Should the page take both bookings and orders?
Yes. This is a cuisine people eat in and take home in roughly equal measure, and both customers arrive at the same page: how table booking works.
