The examples look fine to me.

Potential customers want to see the menu (or product range or similar), location, a couple of pictures. It's supposed to give useful and necessary information. The intended purpose is:

Before: your cafe does not have a website.

After: your cafe has a simple website where people can see the menu, hours, and location.

This tool accomplishes that, and looks fine.

It's not supposed to give the viewer an aesthetic experience so novel and surprising, subverting the entire paradigm of cafe menus, to leave the viewer questioning reality and rethinking their entire approach to life.

Why use this tool that looks vibe coded when you can also use wix (which sadly also looks vibe coded nowadays)?

  • I appreciate everyone’s feedback, but it wasn’t “vibe-coded”. I’ve been in software over ten years and am targeting non-technical users.

    I’m aiming for a mix of dazzle and simplicity.

    Wix is at least $10 more per month. The intention is to keep the price low without making it impossible to afford to operate on a smaller scale.

    Many small businesses have nothing approaching what tech businesses consider a low budget.

    • If your product works as described, I think it would be great for a lot of small businesses. The only problem is that your potential customers don't know about it, and there's no easy way to discover it.
