Catering Website with Booking & Payments

I own a small rolled ice cream catering company and I’m ready to move all client inquiries, event scheduling, and payments onto one polished site. I need you to design and build a fast-loading website that captures a Cape Cod feeling—clean whites, ocean blues, and just enough rustic texture to land between modern and traditional.
CANNOT BE MADE WITH AI
Core functions
• Clients must be able to choose an event date & time on an interactive calendar, confirm availability, and pay a deposit or the full balance instantly with a secure payment gateway (credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay—use Stripe or a comparable PCI-compliant solution).
• I need automated email confirmations and reminders tied to those bookings.
• The layout should be mobile-first and SEO-friendly so that local customers can find us quickly.

Deliverables (minimum)
1. Home
2. About Us
3. Contact Us (embedded map & form)
4. Book Us – integrated calendar + payment portal
5. Where You Can Find Us – upcoming public events & pop-ups
6. Social Media hub – live Instagram feed & quick-share buttons

Tech notes
I’m comfortable with WordPress or Squarespace, but I’m open to another CMS if it suits the brief and keeps future updates easy. Please optimise images, implement basic on-page SEO, and set up Google Analytics.

Acceptance criteria
• End-to-end test: visitor selects a date, pays, and receives confirmation without errors.
• Pages load in under 3 seconds on 4G.
• Visual style matches the Cape Cod reference mood board I’ll supply.
• All copy and imagery are editable by me after hand-off.

If you’ve built booking + payment sites before, especially for service providers, I’d love to see your work and hear how quickly you can deliver.
