About Coffee Today
Most café websites look the same: a photo, a menu, an address. Coffee Today turns your website into an experience. Visitors watch a cup being made in real 3D, explore your roasts, build their own drink, and browse a menu where every item appears as a 3D model they can spin.
You don’t need a developer. Open the included editor in your browser, type your café’s name, colours, menu, prices and hours, and watch your website update as you go. When it looks right, download one file and drag it onto a free host like Netlify. Your site is live in minutes, with no monthly platform fees.
Designed by The Food Aisle for independent cafés, coffee carts, roasters and bakeries, and for the designers who build their websites.

FAQ
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Everything is edited in the included editor, with a live preview.
How do I put it online?
Drag your finished file onto Netlify Drop (free). The guide walks you through it in five steps.
Can I change it later?
Yes. Open your saved site in the editor, make changes and upload it again.
Can I use it for more than one café?
Each licence covers one website. Buy one licence for each café or client site.
Do I need to register or create an account with The Food Aisle?
No. After you pay, your download appears straight away on the thank-you page and the link is also emailed to you. Everything else happens on your own computer.
How do I save my work while editing?
The editor saves your changes automatically in your browser, so you can close it and come back later. When you’re finished, press Download my website (at the top, or at the end of the form) to get your website as one file, index.html.
Can I use my own domain name, like mycafe.com?
Yes. Put your site online free with Netlify first and create a free Netlify account so it stays online. Then, in Netlify, open your site, choose Domain management and add a domain you own, or buy one there. Domains come from a domain company and have a yearly fee, separate from this template. Netlify adds a free secure (https) certificate.
Refunds?
Because this is a digital download, sales are final once downloaded, unless the file is faulty and we can’t fix it.
Licence
$129 CAD per website. One licence covers one café website on one domain. Building sites for several cafés or clients? Buy one licence per website.
