Beautiful websites for hospitality

Fill the room before the doors open.

Websites for restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés and venues that turn a quick look into a booking, without the traditional agency price tag.

Founding offer now open for our first clients.

Our philosophy

Your website should be as good as your venue.

Hospitality businesses invest countless hours creating beautiful spaces, menus and experiences. Too often, their website doesn't reflect any of it.

Covers creates digital experiences that bring the character of your venue online, without the cost, complexity or drawn-out timelines of a traditional agency.

The Covers difference

Four things we won't compromise on.

  • Designed for hospitality

    We understand the things that matter: menus, bookings, locations, events, rooms, functions and the moments that make your venue memorable.

  • Beautiful by design

    Every website is designed to reflect the character of your business, rather than forcing you into a generic template.

  • Sensibly priced

    Our approach lets us deliver premium websites without traditional agency overheads.

  • Looked after

    Your relationship with Covers doesn't have to end when the website launches.

Work

Made for places worth visiting.

Concept work from the Covers studio, made to show what a hospitality website can be. Your venue could be the first client project here.

About Covers

Hospitality deserves better online.

Traditional agencies can make beautiful websites. For most hospitality operators, though, the cost and the timelines are hard to justify.

Covers takes a modern, streamlined approach, so a neighbourhood café, a country pub or a small hotel can have a website that does its room justice.

We know the difference between a guest who's browsing and a guest who's booking, and we design for both.

Let's make your website worth visiting.

Tell us a little about your venue and what you're looking to achieve. We'll take it from there.
