Work
One café for each situation a café is actually in. What we looked at, the line that decided the design, and the site it produced. All three are ours, and invented.
Concept work. Bramble & Vine, Banco Nove and Petit Radis are fictional cafés, created to demonstrate our work. No real café is named or shown anywhere on this site.
Nothing online you own
Full every weekend, and the only page about you belongs to somebody else.
What we look at first
- Your reviews
- Your photographs
- Your Google listing
- Opening hours
- The menu
- Getting to the door
- Who comes in
- What it costs
- The room’s own colours
The reviews kept mentioning the door, and the courtyard can’t be seen from the street. So the home page is a door-finder, and the courtyard is proved in photographs before anything is claimed about it.
What a new café website includes
Courtyard roaster · old quarter
Bramble & Vine
A planted courtyard you can’t see from the street, behind a door people walk past twice. The site has one job: prove the courtyard is real, and show you the door.
- Photography-led
- Built around a hidden entrance
- Menu and retail beans
A site that’s dated or broken
It still loads, but it answers the wrong questions, slowly.

Nobody browses a stand-up bar’s website. They check one thing on the way past. So it answers in five seconds: open or closed, the hours, the address, the price list, and nothing else at all.
What a café website revamp involves
Stand-up espresso bar · city centre
Banco Nove
A counter, nine stools, four hundred coffees before eleven. Nobody browses this site. They check one thing and put the phone away.
- Answers in five seconds
- Hours and address above all
- Dense, fast, no images
A site that works, until nobody tends it
Right on the day it launched. Hours, closures and menus drift from that day on.

Half the customers are staying two nights and half have come for eleven years. So hours, closures and allergens sit where both find them, in two languages, and somebody keeps them true.
What café website maintenance covers
Café-bakery · tourist quarter
Petit Radis
Half the customers are staying two nights. The other half have come every morning for eleven years. Two languages, and a link the hotel down the road can hand over.
- Bilingual by design
- Made to be shared
- Allergens, hours, closures
