Free first draft, from $499 at launch." url: "https://ciderwebsites.com/restaurants/bakeries" --- Website design for bakeries # Bakery website design, from *today's bakes* to custom cakes A bakery website has to keep up with selling out, pre-orders and custom cakes: what's baking today, the pre-order cutoff, and cake inquiries that arrive with a date, servings and flavors. We design and build it from a short brief. The Website launch is all most bakeries need, and its $499 isn't due until you've approved a free first draft. [Start your site](https://ciderwebsites.com/restaurants/start?plan=launch_small) [See the work](https://ciderwebsites.com/restaurants/work) - Free first draft - Fixed price from $499 - Pay only at launch We usually recommend the [Website launch](https://ciderwebsites.com/restaurants#prices): up to 5 pages, $499 once. ## What a bakery website needs Today's bakes up front, pre-orders before the cutoff, and cake inquiries that arrive complete. - **Today's bakes, and what sells out** A short *baking today* section near the top for the daily breads, pastries and specials, with an honest line about what tends to go early. Regulars who know the croissants are gone by ten will come at nine instead of leaving disappointed. - **Pre-orders with a clear cutoff** Holiday pies, weekend loaves and pastry boxes all have a deadline. We put the order-by time and the pickup windows right beside the order button, and link that button to the tool you already take pre-orders with. - **Custom cake inquiries that arrive complete** A short inquiry that asks what you'd otherwise chase by email: the date, how many servings, flavors and fillings, the look they have in mind with a photo if they have one, any allergies, and pickup or delivery. You can reply with a quote instead of a list of questions. - **A menu that's a real page, allergens included** Breads, viennoiserie, cakes, cookies and drinks with prices, readable on a phone and by search engines. Gluten, nuts, dairy, eggs and sesame are marked item by item in the words you give us, with a plain sentence about shared ovens and equipment. When the seasonal galette changes, it's a small edit rather than a new PDF to design and upload. - **Wholesale and catering inquiries** A page for cafés, restaurants and offices that want a standing bread order or a platter for a meeting, with your minimums, lead times and delivery days. It's steady work that many bakery sites never ask for. - **Hours that match the oven** Early opening, early closing, the days you're shut and holiday hours, written as text on every page, with the address, parking notes and a map link close by. A bakery that closes at two needs that said louder than a restaurant does. ## Sample sites we've designed Sample sites for made-up businesses, designed to show what we do: open one on your phone and try it. On your site, booking and payment buttons open the tools you already use. - [Neighbourhood bakery Harbor Street Bakery (opens in a new tab) Menu Cake orders Opening hours](https://ciderwebsites.com/restaurants/work/harbor-bakery) - [Coffee shop and roastery Ember Coffee (opens in a new tab) Order ahead Roast of the week Loyalty card](https://ciderwebsites.com/restaurants/work/ember-coffee) [See all four of our restaurant sites](https://ciderwebsites.com/restaurants/work) ## The pages a bakery site usually has - Home with today's bakes - Menu (breads, pastries, cakes and drinks) - Custom cakes and pre-orders - Wholesale and catering - About the bakers, hours and location ### Which plan fits A bakery site usually comes down to a few pages: home with today's bakes, the menu, cakes and pre-orders, wholesale and catering, and one page about the bakers with your hours and address. That's the **Website launch**: up to 5 pages for $499, paid once when you launch. ### What we link Pre-orders and payments stay in the tool you already take them with, and the site's order buttons open it; gift cards, local delivery and your reviews are linked the same way. We take no commission on your orders, and cake inquiries come straight to you rather than through a middleman. - Square - Toast - Shopify - Instagram - Google Business Profile ## What to get right - **No word on selling out** Someone who drives over at two in the afternoon and finds empty shelves may not try again. A line saying what sells out early, and roughly when, sends them back at the right time instead. - **Cake orders by phone only** A phone number on its own means calls during the morning rush and details written on scraps of paper. An inquiry that asks for the date and servings gets everything down the first time. - **Pre-order deadlines missing or buried** If the holiday order-by date isn't next to the button, you'll get late requests you have to turn down, and regulars who feel let down by their own bakery. - **Calling something gluten-free without meaning it** On a label, the FDA's definition of *gluten-free* is under 20 parts per million of gluten, and a bakery that shares flour, ovens and mixers may not be able to say it at all. We write allergen and gluten notes in your words, as your claim, alongside the line about shared equipment, so a careful customer knows exactly what you can and can't promise. ## How it works Three steps, and most of the work is ours. 1. 5 minutes **Tell us about your business** The short form, or a chat with the team. Send photos, your logo, your menu: whatever you have. 2. 5 to 7 business days **Get your free first draft** Screenshots for computer and phone and a private preview link (2 to 3 business days with priority, overnight with rush). Ask for changes in plain words until it's right. 3. When you're ready **Approve, pay and launch** Pay the fixed launch fee only when you're happy. With the care plan, we put the site live on your domain and look after it; without it, we hand you the files to host yourself. ## Bakeries: fixed prices One fee, paid once when you launch, from $499.

Hosting is separate, in the optional care plan ($49 a month), which also registers and renews your domain and covers small edits like holiday hours and order deadlines; without it we hand you the site's files and don't host it. A bakery with several shops or a large wholesale side may want the Pro launch. [See every price](https://ciderwebsites.com/restaurants#prices). **Can customers pre-order on my bakery website?** Yes: the order button links to the pre-order tool you already take orders with. We put that button, the cutoff times and the pickup windows together on the page, and orders keep arriving wherever they arrive today. **Can people request a custom cake online?** Yes. We add a cake inquiry with the questions you need answered (date, servings, flavors, design, allergies and pickup or delivery), so the first message has enough in it to quote from. It comes to your inbox; you quote and take a deposit the way you do now. **Do I still need a website if I post my bakes on Instagram every day?** Usually, yes. Your posts show today's bakes beautifully, but people searching for a bakery near them or a birthday cake tend to land on websites and Google listings first, and details like hours, allergens and order deadlines get lost in a feed. The site links your Instagram, so the two work together. **I bake from home. Can I still have a website?** Yes. Many states let home bakers sell under a cottage food law, and some ask for the same disclosure online that goes on your labels. Tell us the wording your state or county requires and we put it where it belongs, along with how pickup works from a home kitchen. **How do I keep today's bakes and holiday hours current?** Seasonal menus, holiday hours and order deadlines are small edits: send them in plain words, and the care plan covers 4 of them a month. For bakes that change every day, we can point that section to the ordering page or Instagram you already update, so it never waits on us.
