Websites for cake makers
Web design for cake makers: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Customers have no idea what a cake costs. Give them ranges before they ask.
Cake enquiries stall on price more than anything else. A customer sees a tiered cake on social media, has no idea whether it is eighty pounds or five hundred, and does not want to ask and feel awkward.
Publishing ranges by size and complexity removes that, filters out the enquiries that were never viable, and dramatically reduces the time spent quoting for people who then disappear.
What your customers want answered
- What does a cake like that cost
- How far ahead do I need to order
- Can you do allergies, gluten free or vegan
- Do you deliver and set up, or do I collect
- How many does each size serve
Price by tiers and servings togetherCustomers are trying to work out both cost and whether it feeds their guests. A table of sizes, servings and starting prices answers both and turns a browsing enquiry into a bookable order.
Taking allergy orders casually
Cakes are eaten at gatherings where somebody usually has an allergy. Being clear about what your kitchen handles, and where you cannot guarantee absence of an allergen, is both a legal matter in how you inform customers and a protection for you.
A gallery that sells
Show your own cakes by occasion: weddings, birthdays, children's cakes and cupcakes. Explain flavours, sizes and portions.
Ordering and lead times
Explain how far ahead to order, typically longer for weddings and peak dates, how deposits work and when the final design is agreed. Say whether you offer tastings, delivery and setup at venues, and how allergies are handled. A simple order request form that asks for date, occasion and portions saves a lot of back-and-forth.
Choosing the right cake
Help customers decide: how many portions they need, the difference between buttercream and fondant, how far ahead to order and what designs are possible. A short guide for wedding cakes covering tastings, tiers and delivery to venues is especially useful.
Say how allergies and dietary needs are handled, and be honest about whether your kitchen can avoid cross-contamination. Explain storage and transport tips for collected cakes.
