Independent restaurants, bars and cafés in Penarth, Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. Bespoke, not templated — and I take the photographs myself.
The problem
It's the same story in every town. Somebody pours eighteen months and their life savings into a building — the fit-out, the kitchen, the brass on the bar — and then the only thing most people ever see of it is a Deliveroo tile and a TripAdvisor page somebody else wrote.
The room is worth more than that. So is the private hire nobody can find, the function room that seats forty, the Sunday menu that doesn't appear anywhere online, and the terrace that's the best seat in town for four months of the year.
I work with one venue at a time and I only take on places I'd recommend to somebody else. That means I say no to some people, and it means the ones I say yes to get all of it.
Photography
Every website I build comes with real photographs of your place, shot on a Sony RX100 VII — not a library picture of somebody else's. A proper shoot — the room, the bar, the food, the terrace, the thing you're proudest of. Half a day on site, usually before service, and you keep the full set to use wherever you like: socials, Google, Deliveroo, print, the lot. They're yours, not licensed back to you.
If you already have photographs you're happy with, even better — send them over and I'll build around them. I'd rather use a real picture you love than a better one you don't.
What I won't do is fill your website with stock images of somebody else's restaurant, or generate them. You'd be surprised how much of that is going around.
Work
I'm early. Rather than write about what I could do, I picked venues near me, researched them properly and built the site I thought they deserved — unpaid, unasked. These are those.
How it works
No account managers, no discovery workshops, no forty-page proposal. You'll deal with me the whole way through, because there isn't anybody else.
An hour, usually mid-afternoon between services. I want to know what makes you money, what people always ask for, and what you're proudest of that nobody knows about.
Half a day on site. The room, the bar, the food, the details. You get the full set to keep.
You see the real thing, not a wireframe. We go round twice — most people only need once.
Menus change, hours change, Christmas happens. That's what the monthly covers — you message me, I do it, usually same day.
Price
Published, because you shouldn't have to sit through a call to find out whether you can afford someone.
Bespoke design, written properly, built to load fast and work on a phone. Not a template with your logo dropped in.
Half a day on site. Full set of edited images, yours to keep and use anywhere.
Hosting, updates, menu and hours changes, seasonal content. Message me and it's done, usually the same day.
The range depends on how many pages you need and how much there is to photograph. I'll give you one number after I've seen the place, and it won't move.
Who you'd be dealing with
I'm from Penarth, and I work here too. I started Enty because I kept walking past places I loved and finding nothing about them online worth reading.
I studied economics, politics and theology at Radley before technology pulled me a different way — it fascinates me, and I taught myself to build sites properly rather than drag-and-drop. Outside work you'll find me coding, following the markets, and lately behind a camera as much as a keyboard.
I'm not an agency and I'm not pretending to be one. I take on a small number of venues so I can do the work properly, and I'd rather build four sites a year I'm proud of than twenty I'm not.
Local, so I can be there in ten minutes if something breaks.
Get in touch
If you'd rather just see something first, say so and I'll send over a concept for your venue. No charge, and no chasing afterwards if it isn't for you.
