Editor's note

What this site does

A Florence café founded in 1733 that puts its founding year in the headline and gives each of its four businesses — pastry, chocolate, bistro, bar — its own entry point.

Notes

What you see

The header stays fixed with a menu, a "SHOP" button, the logo in the centre, a language switch, login and cart. The first screen is a large video of the café's interior, followed by the headline "In the heart of the city, with the city in our heart since 1733."

The page then walks through pastry, chocolate, delivered gifts (with a "Purchase now" button), the bistro, the cocktail bar and the café's history, each with a photo and a short paragraph. The footer gives the address on Via Roma, email and phone.

What to take from it

A founding year in the headline says more, faster, than a paragraph about tradition.

When one shop is several businesses at once, giving each its own photo, sentence and link lets people find the part they came for. Keeping the shop button in the header turns visitors who can't come in person into customers anyway.
