§01The problem

What needed fixing.

Beyond Temptation is a café in Mapusa: burgers, pizza, loaded sandwiches, thick shakes and proper coffee. Its first website went up in 2024 as a starter build with a few pages and a gallery.

Orders come in on WhatsApp, and people find the café on Instagram and Google. The new site had to make that path obvious: see the food, check if it is open, tap to order.

§02Approach

How I went about it.

  1. 01

    One source of truth

    Hours, phone, address, ratings and the full menu live in two data files, so a price or timing change is one edit, not a hunt through pages.

  2. 02

    Order-first layout

    Every dish card, the hero and a sticky phone bar open WhatsApp with the order already typed.

  3. 03

    A brand with a voice

    Chocolate-and-yellow palette, sticker-style labels, huge type and copy that sounds like the counter, not a brochure.

  4. 04

    Motion that stays fast

    Smooth scrolling and scroll-linked animation, with interactive parts loaded only when they come into view.

§03What I built

The system.

  • WhatsApp ordering everywhere

    Tap any dish, the hero button or the sticky phone bar to open WhatsApp with a ready-made order message.

  • Live open / closed status

    A pill computed in India time from the café's real hours: open now, closing time, or when it reopens.

  • The real menu, online

    Around 80 dishes across 13 sections, transcribed from the printed menu with prices, plus bestsellers filterable by category.

  • Shake wall

    A scroll-driven showcase of the café's shake range, grouped by type.

  • Real Google reviews

    A draggable strip of real reviews next to the café's Google, Justdial and Zomato ratings.

  • Instagram reels

    A strip of the café's own reels and collabs, embedded from Instagram.

  • Events booking

    A booking form for birthdays and get-togethers that sends the request straight to WhatsApp.

  • Local SEO

    Café structured data (address, phone, cuisine), a Google Maps link and embed, tap-to-call, and titles written for café searches in Mapusa.

Outcome

What changed.

  • Live on Netlify. Rebuilt in October 2026, replacing the 2024 starter site.
  • Ordering moved to one tap on every screen: no forms, no app, straight to the café's WhatsApp.
  • Menu, hours and contact details now change in one place.
