Web design for bakeries
Bakery websites that take the order for you
If people order by DM, you're answering the same questions all day: what sizes, how much, how far ahead, when can I pick it up. A good bakery website answers all of that, then takes the order and the payment.
What a bakery website has to do
-
Make the food look as good as it is
Large, honest photos. Show the inside of a cake when the inside is the point.
-
A real menu with real prices
Sizes, prices, what's inside, allergens and minimum quantities. If something isn't for sale, it doesn't show up.
-
Know how far ahead you need the order
Order-ahead times per item, and pickup slots that follow your actual hours.
-
Take payment up front
Card payments at checkout, so a no-show doesn't cost you the cake.
-
Let you change prices without calling anyone
Menu and prices live in one simple file or sheet you control.
-
Fill the holidays before they arrive
Instagram and Facebook ads to people nearby ahead of Valentine's, Mother's Day and wedding season. See Meta Ads.

Questions
Do I need Shopify or Square to sell online?
No. Helen Kandy Bakery's ordering runs on Stripe for payments and a simple spreadsheet for orders, with no monthly platform fee. If you already use Square or Shopify, we can work with it.
Can customers request custom cakes?
Yes. A custom order form collects the date, servings, design ideas and photos, so you can quote without ten back-and-forth messages.
Can I update the menu myself?
Yes. That's a requirement on every bakery site we build.
