What a bakery site needs

We studied how the best bakeries & cafés actually talk to their customers — these aren’t template features, they’re the conventions your customers already expect.

Hours people can trust

Bakery hours are irregular on purpose — closed Mondays, done at 2pm, open until sold out. When your site and reality disagree, someone drives to a locked door. Gusto Bread posts “Closed Mondays & Tuesdays” plainly; in this trade, a Monday closure is itself a craft signal.

Sell-out notices that earn pre-orders

“Once we sell out, we close for the day” (State Flour Bakery) reads as integrity, not hype. Put it on the site and scarcity becomes held orders — House of Bread tells people to “call early and they’ll hold your order for you.”

Cake rules in writing

Three weeks for celebration cakes, months for weddings, and “the date is not reserved until the deposit is received” (The Cake Obsession). Publish the rules and every cake inquiry arrives already agreeing to them.

Where we stop, plainly

We build the front of your bakery — the site people find, the menu they read, and the follow-up on cake and catering enquiries. We are not a bakery operations platform, and we won't pretend to be one.

Your POS stays your POS

Square, Toast, Clover — whatever rings up the counter keeps ringing up the counter. We point your site's buttons at it rather than replacing it.

Online menu ordering lives elsewhere

If you take full online orders with a cart and pickup windows, that belongs in an ordering platform. Give us the link and it becomes your site's main button.

No production or inventory scheduling

Bake schedules, recipe costing and stock are their own software. We'll show today's board on the site; we won't run the kitchen.

What we're actually good at here

Being found, being trusted at a glance, and making sure the custom-cake enquiry that arrives at 9pm gets answered — the two places small bakeries quietly lose money.

Fair questions

What does this actually cost me?
$10 a month or $90 a year, cancel anytime. That covers hosting and SSL, plus two email edits a month. Want to own the site outright? $300, and it’s yours.
I’m proofing dough at 4am — when am I supposed to build a website?
You spend ten minutes on a brief — hours, the case, your cake rules. We write the copy and have the site live within 48 hours.
What about my domain?
We register it or connect the one you have, at exact registry cost — you pay the same number the registry charges.

Ten minutes of questions. Then we build.

The brief asks about your services, your area, and how you want to come across — in your own words. The 48-hour clock starts once your plan is active and we open it.
