Does anyone have any ideas to put in a web page that I am designing for a coffee shop?

A coffee shop is letting me do their web page for free so I can build up my portfolio. I have a lot of ideas, but since I am not a coffee drinker I was just wondering what are some of the things I should include?

you should have on the opening page a cup of coffee and when the steam comes out of the cup of %26#039;hot%26#039; coffee, have the links and choices in the steam .. kinda floating up to the top with them!

It isn%26#039;t up to you, it%26#039;s up to the coffee shop. Close communication with your client is key. Interview someone there so you KNOW what they are expecting!

THERE ARE NO COMPLICATED DESIGN CLASSICS.

Keep it clean simple, smart and elegant. It doesn%26#039;t matter if you are a coffee drinker - you%26#039;re a consumer, you look at a shop website you want to know their prices and the times they%26#039;re open and what their services are.

If you%26#039;re going to be a designer that youre going to find you%26#039;ll suddenly have to become and expert in a lot of stuff that you don%26#039;t know anything about.

I can%26#039;t stand football but have designed a lot of promotional stuff to advertise it.

Anyway

You shouldn%26#039;t be having to generate the content or decide on the navigation that%26#039;s completely down to the client - they should be giving you content and a sitemap, and secondly you shouldn%26#039;t be designing ANYTHING for free.

Put it this way, once you build up a folio of websites and want to start charing - how do you think you%26#039;re going to get any work when there%26#039;s goign to be the next lot of people doing websites for free to build up THEIR portfolio?

Other Replys:I like the coffee cup idea. Also talk to your customer about the importance of SEO. Here is a guide to getting started: http://www.richkahmer.com/build-a-websit...

If the coffee shop is going to have events / live music at their shop, talk to them about including a calander on the site.
