Web design for cafés in Marbella: menu, orders and loyalty

Why your café needs more than Instagram

Instagram is a shop window, but it has a problem: it doesn't let you show the menu, or take bookings, or take orders without leaving the photo. A website does:

• Instagram depends on the algorithm. Your website appears when a customer searches for you, not when the algorithm decides to show you.
• People check the menu before they go. In Marbella, with so much choice, customers rule out cafés that don't show their menu.
• Tourists and foreign residents search in English. A Spanish-only website loses half the Costa del Sol clientele.
• Google doesn't read Instagram. Your website is what makes you show up when someone types "café in Marbella".

What customers want to see in the first few seconds

If they land on your website and don't find what they want in three seconds, they leave. These elements aren't optional:

• A visible, up-to-date menu. With prices, so there are no surprises. A PDF menu you have to download is a wall.
• Real photos of your place and your dishes. No stock photos: customers can smell a fake from a mile away.
• Clear hours and location. With Google Maps integrated and the terrace hours, which rule in Marbella.
• A booking or order button always in view. Customers shouldn't have to hunt for it: they should trip over it.

From a visit to an order: features that fill the counter

A pretty website isn't enough: it has to convert. These features make the difference between browsing and ordering:

• Ordering via WhatsApp or a tap on the menu. Many people prefer to order on WhatsApp than to call. Make it one tap away.
• Two-step table booking. For weekend brunches, when a table is booked with a single click.
• Delivery or collection. If you work with Glovo, Uber Eats or your own delivery, link it from the website.
• A loyalty card or coffee pass. A simple scheme ("10 coffees, 1 free") that brings people back.

Mistakes that scare your customers away

• A downloadable PDF menu. It opens badly on mobile, it's heavy and it forces people to leave your site. The menu should be readable right on screen.
• Not replying to an order for minutes. Someone ordering a takeaway coffee won't wait an hour for confirmation.
• A slow mobile website. If it takes more than 3 seconds to load, the customer has already opened the café next door.
• No English version. In Marbella, the international clientele is a huge market you can't afford to give away.

How much a café's website costs in Marbella

It's not an expense: it's the tool that fills the terrace. At Solaris we work with fixed prices, no surprises:

Do the maths: one brunch group booking every week already covers the Professional website. The rest is profit.

Google Maps and reviews: get found when people search "café Marbella"

The most beautiful website is useless if you don't show up on the map. Local SEO is what makes your café appear when someone searches "café near me" or "brunch Marbella": optimising your Google Maps listing, managing reviews and adding real photos. At Solaris it starts from €150/month + VAT, no lock-in.
