01

Project overview

A self-initiated concept project showing how I would approach a website for an independent café. The business, name and content are fictional.

02

About the business

Harbour Roast Café is an imagined independent café serving specialty coffee and brunch in an Irish coastal town.

03

Client challenge

Independent cafés rely on local discovery. Menus buried in PDFs, outdated opening hours and slow mobile sites lose customers before they arrive.

04

Project objectives

  • Make the menu and opening hours instantly accessible on mobile
  • Support local search visibility
  • Create a warm brand feel that matches the in-café experience

05

Research and analysis

Reviewed how local café websites present menus, hours and directions, and which information customers search for most when choosing where to go.

06

Strategy

A compact site: home, menu, story, find us. Structured data for local business, clear calls to action and a content plan for seasonal updates.

07

Design and development

Responsive design with a mobile-first menu layout, optimised imagery and fast loading. Built with accessibility in mind.

08

Marketing and implementation

Google Business Profile structure, local landing content and a simple Instagram content plan to support the site.

09

Deliverables

  • Responsive website design
  • Menu page structure
  • Local SEO foundations
  • Social media content plan

12

Lessons learned

For local hospitality, the best-performing pattern is usually the simplest: show the menu, hours, location and one clear action above the fold.
