The challenge

A specialty café wanted a site that felt as considered as its coffee — and that the owner could update without calling a developer.

The approach

We leaned into the café's name: the pilcrow is the mark editors use to start a paragraph. The site became a daily edition — masthead, issue number, today's hours, and a menu set like a front page.

The outcome

A fast, bilingual site with a scroll-through tour of the café, a full menu, reservations by email and complete search-engine setup.
