Bakery websites that answer 'are you open?' first
Nearly every visit is one of two questions: are you open, and can you make a cake for Saturday. Hours go where they cannot be missed, orders go through a proper form, and the photos show what you actually bake.

What your customers are actually there to do
Your customers do not visit to admire the design. They arrive with one of these in mind, and the site's only job is to get them through it without friction.

Why most bakeries' websites lose the call
Hours wrong, or only on Facebook
The most searched fact about your business, kept in the one place you forget to update at Christmas. Wrong hours cost you the visit and earn you the review.
Cake orders living in Instagram messages
Custom orders are the highest-margin thing a bakery sells, and they arrive as messages with no date, no size, no flavour and no deposit.
No photographs of what you actually bake
Stock images of croissants tell somebody nothing about your counter, and this is a business people buy with their eyes.
Nothing about allergens, gluten-free or vegan
An entire category of customer decides in one search whether you are an option at all, and most bakery sites never answer them.
A bakery website built around your hours, your counter and your orders
Hand-coded, not assembled from a template — so the layout can be shaped around what your customers came to do rather than around what a page builder allows.
Hours and location above the fold
Today's hours, holiday hours, a map and a phone number, visible without scrolling on a phone, and kept consistent with your Google listing so the two never disagree.
A custom cake order form
Date, size, flavour, occasion, a photo reference and a deposit if you take one. It arrives structured in your inbox instead of as a message at eleven at night.
Your counter, photographed
A gallery of what you actually make, refreshed by season. Bread, celebration cakes, pastries: the shop window that works when the shop is shut.
Allergen and dietary information
Gluten-free, vegan, nut-free, stated plainly. It decides whether a whole group of customers can buy from you, and they are searching for exactly this.
Pre-orders and collection, if you want them
Click-and-collect for the morning rush or weekend pre-orders, taken through a payment link rather than a platform charging a percentage of every order.
Your Google Business Profile set up
Categories, hours, attributes and photographs. For a bakery, the listing is the storefront most people see before they see the shop.
Builds from $199. You approve the design before we build.
Questions bakeries ask
They do different jobs. Instagram reaches followers; the website catches someone searching 'bakery near me open now' or 'birthday cake [town]' who has never heard of you, and turns a cake enquiry into a structured order with a date. Followers go to the site when they want to buy.
Yes, and it is usually the highest-value change for a bakery. The form asks for date, size, flavour, occasion and a reference photo, so an order arrives complete instead of five messages back and forth. If you take deposits, it can collect one at the same time.
Yes, through Stripe's hosted checkout into your own Stripe account. We are never in the middle of your money. Most often used for cake deposits and weekend pre-orders, which is the most reliable way to stop no-shows.
Hours live in one place on the site, so changing them is one edit. On the fully managed plan we update the site and your Google listing together, which is what people actually see when they search.
