Small website for a very small bar

I built this small website for a bar using Sitely.

The client wanted a very simple, straightforward website. A drinks menu might be added later.

Since there’s nobody to regularly maintain the website, I embedded their Instagram feed in a section called “News”, showing just a few posts.

The client isn’t particularly active on Instagram either, but it’s an easy way to share upcoming events and updates. And the nice thing is that visitors can see the posts directly on the website without needing an Instagram account – perfect for people who don’t use Instagram or, like me, aren’t particularly fond of it. :wink:

Simple, straightforward, and to the point! Well done! :clap:
@Steffi, you’ll need to check your Instagram. It isn’t behaving…

I don’t know German, so translated it. I like very much what it says. It makes me interested to go there.

That said, it’s quite a long block of text to plow through. How about inserting a couple of small photos or little graphic images to break it up ?

I must remember this place!

Thanks for checking and for your kind feedback!

I can’t seem to find any issues with Instagram, either on desktop or mobile, even in private browsing mode. Could you tell me exactly what you’re seeing?

Thanks for your feedback!

I actually waited a whole year to get those few photos! Unfortunately, most of them were either too small or too blurry, and even AI couldn’t save them.

The text was originally only half as long, but then I received the longer version. I don’t actually think it’s too long, although I did manage to shorten it a little.

The nicest photos are from a party, but I didn’t want to use too many of those, as they make the place look more like a wine and champagne bar. It’s actually a beer and live music pub!

Glad you like what the text says and that it makes you want to visit!

Strange?..
This is what I’m seeing…

Really strange. What device is it? Did you accept cookies? :anguished_face:

Whoops! My bad!
Your cookie was at the top and in another language. I wasn’t aware it was the cookies… Sorry!

After clicking it your Instagram posts eventually loaded!..

Thank you, Steffi, for your reply.

Here’s an idea to try. Intersperse a photo or two from your slides between the text to break it up a bit. See how that looks. They are nice and small, so they might work well and let the overall feel breathe.

People are so impatient these days! They may see a long block of text and think “Oh I don’t want to take time to read all of this!” (I know that’s how I feel seeing a long post on Facebook; I often skip it.)

So think of it as a bowl of dry cereal, and add some strawberries on top… mmmm! More attractive!

Thank you so much! I may work on the cookie banner. :folded_hands:
