Lordes
A pale oak cafe table with a laptop open to a cafe website, a cup of coffee, a vase of green flowers and a blue linen napkin.

The only accessibility check that talks to restaurant and cafe owners in plain English.

Made for the owner or manager of an independent US restaurant, cafe, bakery or bar who updates their own menu on a Wix, Squarespace, WordPress or template site. Give Lordes your website address and within a minute you see a free accessibility score and the count of problems found, on your real pages.

How it works

A painted hand holding up a small card with a single empty line, ready for a website address.

Step one

You start with your website address, the one you already hand out to customers.

Two painted hands holding a magnifying glass over a small round shape.

Step two

Within a minute you see a free score and the count of problems found, on your real pages.

Two painted hands cupped around a checklist with three ticked boxes.

Step three

The $49 report puts the problems that block your customers first and shows the fix for your own site builder.

A bakery counter with a tablet propped up on a wooden stand showing a cafe web page, beside stacked cups, a cream canister and a loaf under a glass dome.

Your customers want to read the menu, not a lecture about code.

Lordes explains every problem in plain words, ranks the ones that block people first, and never scares you into a fix.
