**Abstract27 builds websites for restaurants, cafés, bakeries, caterers and independent brands: your menu and story, orders and bookings, and a newsletter that brings regulars back. We design, host and maintain it for £25 a month, with no setup fee. For a full online shop with a large catalogue, we build on Shopify instead — and tell you so on the first call.**

## What a restaurant, food business or shop website needs

- **Your menu or range**, easy to update when prices or dishes change.
- **Orders and bookings** — pre-orders and deposits through Stripe, or your reservation tool embedded.
- **Opening hours, map and contact** at the top, because that is what most visitors want.
- **A newsletter to regulars** — new menus, events, seasonal products — sent from your own site.
- **Photos that load fast** on a phone, and clean local SEO so you show up for your area.
- **The right tool for selling** — Ghost for a brand site with a few products, Shopify for a real catalogue.

## Built on Ghost, open-source software you own

Every site we build runs on Ghost®, the open-source publishing platform. The editor is as simple as writing an email, the newsletter is built in, pages load fast, and your content and subscriber list can be exported at any time — nothing is locked in. Ghost is the only platform we build on.

## What we have built

- [La Liste de mes Envies Pastry](https://abstract27.com/la-liste-de-mes-envies-pastry-turning-a-passion-into-a-business/) — a London pastry chef with a fast online storefront and ordering.
- [Tell Me Wine](https://abstract27.com/tellmewine-co-uk-ecommerce-website-redesign/) — an online wine shop rebuilt on Shopify, with the client in full control.
- [World Pâté-Croûte Championship](https://abstract27.com/website-for-the-world-pate-croute-championship-british-semi-final-patecrouteuk-co-uk/) — the website of the British semi-final.
- [Earthylous](https://abstract27.com/earthylous/) — an independent skincare brand.
- [Les Menus Plaisir](https://abstract27.com/les-menus-plaisir/) — a bilingual site of gourmet recipes.
