Live + Care

€435 now, then €79 every four weeks

Everything in Live, and you never touch it again.

  • Hours, menu and seasonal changes made for you. Send me a photo of the chalkboard; it's on the site the same day
  • New photos in, old ones out
  • A monthly check that AI assistants still read it right
  • One content change a month, whatever you like
  • It's monitored, and it gets fixed before you notice
  • Questions answered by a person, within a day

Cancel with one email. No notice period, no penalty, no phone call to keep you.

Founding offer. The first three cafés that say yes get it free: live on your own address, three months of us looking after it, in return for a small credit in the footer.

Both prices are for the first ten shops.

What's not in it

Straight answers, so nobody's surprised later.

Online ordering and payments. Not included. If you need it, say so and I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth building or whether you're better off with the ordering platform you already use.

A .ie domain. €60 a year rather than €45, because .ie needs proof of an Irish connection that only you can give, and it's a manual registration. Worth it if you want it.

Photography. Real photos of your shop, taken by a person, aren't included. The images on your site are your own, plus atmosphere images where you've none, and those never pretend to be your room or your staff.

SEO as a monthly service. The site is built to be found. I'm not going to sell you €299 a month on top of it.

A grant. The Trading Online Voucher closed in December 2024, and whether what replaced it covers a site like this depends on how you buy it and on your Local Enterprise Office. The whole thing, written out for a café, terms quoted, nothing promised.

The guarantee

In your first 60 days live, if the site hasn't brought you one thing you can point at, an order, a booking, a phone call, an enquiry, or a review that mentions it, I keep working on it, free, until it does.

Or ask for your money back. You get all €690, and the site stays yours.

Why it's not €2,000

A Dublin freelancer charges €1,500 to €3,000 for a site like this. An agency starts at €3,000. They're not overcharging: most of that is meetings, briefs, revisions and six weeks of back-and-forth with you.

I've removed the six weeks and the meetings. The site is already built before we ever speak. What's left is the site.

Thinking of building it yourself on Wix or Squarespace instead? That is a fair choice, and Squarespace vs Wix for a café sets the three side by side.

One coffee or café fact a day, drawn. That is what we post on Instagram. @cupanstudio
