A menu you can update yourself, opening hours people can rely on, and directions in one tap. Websites for cafés, restaurants, bakeries and food trucks from $499, usually live within 48 hours.
A few examples of the kind of sites we build. Pick one to have a look.
A small corner café in Brunswick. Single-origin beans, bread from the bakery down the road, and a window seat with your name on it.
We opened in 2019 with four tables and a second-hand machine. Now we know most people's orders before they get to the counter, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Catering platters from $65, delivered within 5km. Order by 3pm the day before.
Small-batch gelato churned fresh every day in Torquay, with fruit from farms we can drive to.
Small tub of Strawberry and Lemon
Order at the counterWe bring the cart, the cones and a scooper with a big smile. Weddings, birthdays, work dos.
Business names and logos are hidden. Scroll inside the window to see the whole page. Some parts are interactive too, like the menu filter and gelato tub builder.
People mostly check a café's website for the menu, the opening hours and where you are. Get those right and they'll come in.
Change dishes, prices and specials from your phone in a minute. No more PDFs from 2021.
Let people filter for vegetarian, vegan and gluten free, so nobody has to ring and ask.
Regular and public holiday hours, updated from your phone in seconds.
A call button for table enquiries and directions to your door, right where people look.
A section for platters, group bookings and private events, with its own enquiry form.
Your colours, your personality, and photos that make people hungry.
Put the menu up front. It's the most-visited part of any hospitality website. It should be real text rather than a PDF or a photo of the blackboard, so it loads quickly on a phone and Google can read it.
Keep your hours the same everywhere. Turning up to a closed door is the fastest way to lose a customer, so your website, Google listing and Instagram should all match. The dashboard makes that a quick job.
Show what the place is like. People choose a café for the feel as much as the food, so good photos and a few lines about who you are go a long way.
Make the next step obvious. Calling about a table, checking the catering menu or getting directions should all be one tap away.
G'day, I'm Shastri. I grew up in Sydney, live in Melbourne, and run Simple Web Design.
Before this I was a solutions engineer at a digital agency, working on websites for brands like Patagonia, Godiva and WelleCo. Now I build websites for local businesses to the same standard, at a price that makes sense for a small business.
You won't be passed to an account manager or a junior. When you call or message, you get me, whether it's the first chat or a change you need two years after launch.
Before starting Simple Web Design I did a lot of work through Airtasker, with a 5.0 rating across 343 reviews. A few of them:
For someone not tech savvy as myself, he explained everything without using complicated tech terms and was approachable at all times.
Shastri was so amazing to work with. He went above and beyond and I’m so glad I’ve found someone that I know I can rely on again for next time. Highly recommended!
Top notch customer service and technical skills. Generous with time + knowledge. Very efficient and fantastic to work with. I would highly recommend.
You'll know the full price before we start. There are no hourly rates, setup fees or lock-in contracts.
Everything on one scrolling page. Plenty for most tradies, cafés and studios.

Prices in AUD. Not sure which package fits? Tell us about your business and we'll recommend one.

Yes. We link your site to your Google Business Profile and make sure your hours, address and menu match, which helps you show up in local searches.
