The starting point
Helen makes mousse cakes and ganache desserts shaped like real fruit: a mango, a pear or a lemon that you cut open to find layers inside.
There was no website. Nowhere to send someone to see the whole range, the sizes and prices, or how far ahead to order. Every sale started from scratch.
What we built
An ordering site. The homepage opens on a mango that comes apart layer by layer, so you get the idea before you read a word. The menu shows every dessert with its sizes, prices, minimum quantities and what's inside.
Customers fill a cart, choose a pickup day and time, and pay by card. Every order is checked against Helen's price list, logged to a spreadsheet and emailed to the kitchen.
The details
- Menu and prices live in one file Helen can edit herself

- Pickup scheduling built from her real hours
