A few specific fixes for cortilecoffee.co.uk
Cortile Coffee · Pontypridd · website rebuild
I rebuild small-business websites in my spare time when I can see they are leaving conversions on the table. I spent half an hour on cortilecoffee.co.uk this week and three things stood out on mobile, all fixable without changing what the family is already doing in the market hall or on Taff Street.
Three findings below, then a working rebuild you can click through and judge.
Two locations, one undifferentiated homepage.
Cortile trades from two distinct places, two minutes apart on foot. The retail store sits at 4 Taff Street, with bags of beans, brewing kit, Gaggia machines and 35 loose teas. The coffee bar sits inside Central Hall in the Grade II 1885 indoor market, where the cup is pulled and the cakes are served. The live homepage treats them as one undifferentiated entity, so a first-time visitor doesn't know which door to walk in for which thing.
The rebuild gives each location its own anchored block, a map line, hours, and one sentence about what a visitor walks in for. The market bar and the Taff Street store read as a pair, not a blur.
Two locations · one block each · map + hours per doorThe family story is buried.
Sara Langford, Richard Metcalfe and their daughters Charlotte and Rebecca opened the coffee bar in April 2017 and the retail store the following September. For a Welsh high-street independent on a small budget, "named family of four, in their seventh year on the market hall, official Gaggia specialist for Wales" is the strongest trust signal you have. On the live site it sits under the product grid, not above it.
The rebuild leads with the names and the year, dropped into a heritage block that shares the page with the 1885 market building's own story. The product grid still earns its place, just lower down.

Google can't currently tell Search you are a CafeOrCoffeeShop with two addresses, an email, a phone, and a 4.9 average across 29 Tripadvisor reviews and 4.8 across 189 on Restaurant Guru. Nothing in the live page source surfaces those reviews, the hours, or the two postal addresses to a rich-results crawler.
The rebuild includes a CafeOrCoffeeShop plus LocalBusiness JSON-LD block with both postal addresses, the E.164 phone number, opening hours, the aggregate rating, and an FAQPage block for the questions customers actually ask.

If the proposal lands, reply with two or three 20-minute slots in the next ten days for a video call. I take on three South Wales builds this quarter, and first confirmed wins the slot. If I don't hear back by 28 May, the proposal site comes down.
