Custom Cake Studio — Website & Order Inquiry System
About This Engagement
Website build and structured order inquiry system for a home-based custom cake business transitioning from informal social media orders to a professional web presence with a consistent, organized intake process.
What the Business Was Facing
The business owner was managing all custom cake orders through Instagram DMs and personal text messages — an unstructured process that regularly led to missed inquiries, inconsistent pricing conversations, forgotten order details, and hours of back-and-forth clarification per week. The business needed a more professional front-end without overcomplicating day-to-day operations.
How We Approached the Work
Built a visually appealing website that showcases the cake portfolio with a photo gallery, clearly describes order types, lead times, and deposit requirements, and routes all inquiries through a structured contact form capturing cake type, event date, guest count, flavor preferences, and design notes. Provided a simple internal order reference template the owner could use to track active orders without dedicated software.
What Was Achieved
The business now presents professionally online. Inquiry quality improved significantly as structured form data eliminated most clarification messages. The owner reclaimed several hours of administrative time per week and reported that clients arrived at consultations better prepared. Monthly inquiries increased through improved discoverability on search and social.
