Adam does every audit and every build personally. There is no team to hand it to. That caps how many run at once, so there is usually a short wait before a build starts. Once yours starts, it takes about 14 working days.
“Adam does not just build websites. He understands what a business needs to look like before people trust it with serious money.”
Ric Wilson — Owner, Regenovate
Hard Truth
Instagram is not a website.
It is rented land.
Lots of independent cafés run entirely on Instagram. It feels free, it feels modern, and customers already follow you there. But when someone searches “best brunch Manchester” or “coffee near me,” Instagram does not show up. Google does.
Here is what Instagram cannot do for your café:
- 1.Show up when someone searches “coffee near me.” Google handles 8.5 billion searches a day. Instagram handles zero of them. If your café is not on Google, it does not exist to someone who is hungry and holding their phone.
- 2.Display your menu, hours, and location reliably. An Instagram bio fits 150 characters. Story highlights get skipped. A website puts your menu, opening times, address, and booking link on one page — findable in one tap.
- 3.Work after the algorithm moves on. An Instagram post has a half-life of about 24 hours. A website page keeps working, indexed and searchable, for years. Every pound you spend on Instagram content disappears within a day. Every pound you spend on a website page keeps earning.
- 4.You do not own your Instagram audience. Instagram can change its algorithm, shadowban your account, or suspend it without warning. Your followers are not yours — they are Meta’s. A website and an email list are yours forever.

is the average half-life of an Instagram post. After that, almost nobody sees it. A website page earns traffic every single day.
Instagram is brilliant for showing off your latte art and building a following. But it is not a replacement for being findable when someone is hungry, nearby, and searching for exactly what you serve.
Right now, someone nearby is searching for "coffee near me."
They will walk into whichever café looks most inviting online — and they decide in about five seconds. The audit shows you how to make sure that is you, not the chain down the road.

A real Coltura growth audit — have a read. Branded, specific, prioritised. Nothing you cannot act on the same day.
The 8-Point Café Audit
Eight checks decide whether someone walks through your door or walks past.
Every audit covers the eight things customers judge before they leave the house.
Google Maps visibility
When someone searches "coffee near me," does your café show up in the top 3? Or does Starbucks win every time?
First impression
A visitor decides in 3 seconds whether your café feels worth walking into. What does your site say?
Menu clarity
Can someone find your menu, opening hours, and address without scrolling? Is the menu readable on a phone?
Mobile experience
Most café searches happen on a phone, often while walking. Your site has to be effortless one-handed.
Speed
Slow sites lose hungry customers. If your menu page takes 4 seconds to load, they have already gone to Pret.
Trust signals
Reviews, real photos of your interior and food, hygiene rating, contact details: does it feel like somewhere they want to be?
Booking & ordering
Can someone book a table or order ahead? Is the link obvious, or buried three taps deep?
Social proof
Is your Instagram linked properly? Do your Google reviews show? Word of mouth starts online now.
Drag The Difference
Same café. Same flat white. Different website.
Drag the handle and ask yourself one question: which version gets the walk-in? (Made-up café — but we have renovated plenty that started like this.)

For most independent cafés, one lost Saturday of walk-ins costs more than fixing the entire site. Finding the leak costs you nothing.

Tell me about your café
Your website, your location, and what makes your place different. Under a minute.
I visit it like a customer would
I search for cafés near you, find your site, and go through it the way a hungry, impatient person does.
Your audit lands within 48 hours
Branded and prioritised: what is costing you walk-ins, what is already working, what to fix first.
You decide what happens next
If small fixes will do it, I will say so: do them yourself, free. If a rebuild makes sense, I will show you exactly what I would build. No chasing.
The Point Of All This
All of it exists to do one thing — make your phone ring.
Not to win design awards. Not to impress other designers. To make the person who needs what you do — tonight, in your town — choose your number over the next tab.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. No cost, no card details, no obligation. You get honest, practical feedback on your café website: that is the whole deal.
Honestly? Some audits reveal problems worth fixing properly, and some of those café owners ask me to do the work. That is how I win clients. If your site only needs small tweaks, you get those for free and we both move on.
Under a minute to ask. Your audit is back within 48 hours.
No sales call, no follow-up sequence. If a rebuild makes sense, I will say so once — with a price. If it does not, I will tell you that too.
Absolutely. Chains have marketing departments. Independents have personality, regulars, and word of mouth. A website that shows that off properly is how you compete.
The Coltura Growth Website is £1,495, one-off — the complete rebuild including your menu, booking links, photography layout, local search and AI-readability foundation, tracking and launch. You own it outright. Ongoing care is optional at £149 a month.
Worst case? You get a £99 audit for free.
Best case, you find out why people walk past your café every day — and fix it this month. Either way, you will know where you stand within 48 hours.
