The problem
Mytilus is a Belgian restaurant built around moules-frites and a carefully chosen beer list. It needed a home online that speaks to a coastal, multilingual crowd, lets people book a table, and turns up when someone — or someone's AI assistant — asks where to eat.
What made it hard
- · Four languages — Spanish, English, French, and Dutch — with your place kept as you switch between them.
- · Simple and cheap to run, nothing complicated for the owner to manage.
- · Email booking confirmations only switch on once the owner adds their own keys; the WhatsApp booking always works.
What I built
- · One fast website that works fully in all four languages.
- · Nine sections — home, the menu, a little library about Belgian beer, events, a gallery, the story, contact, bookings, and a blog.
- · A booking form that checks what you typed before it accepts it.
- · Built so search engines and AI assistants can find and recommend the restaurant in every one of its languages.
How it turned out
A finished, four-language site where every page reads naturally in Spanish, English, French, and Dutch, and booking works from start to finish. Email confirmations are a clearly-labelled step the owner switches on with their own keys — the site never claims a booking was sent when it wasn't.
What I learned
- · Four languages makes getting the details right — which page is which, in each language — a decision you make from the very start.
- · Turning on email later while keeping WhatsApp working from day one meant the restaurant got a useful site without waiting on paperwork.
