What they needed

Dora makes custom cakes and baked goods for celebrations, and the business ran on Instagram and word of mouth. That works until somebody wants to see a menu, look through past work and actually place an order. The site needed to feel handmade and personal rather than corporate, and make enquiring take one tap.

Best proof for

Cake makers, cafés, salons and other visual, owner-run businesses

What was delivered

  • WhatsApp enquiry as the primary contact route
  • Email newsletter signup
  • Local Potters Bar positioning
  • Mobile-first design with social profiles linked throughout

The parts worth pointing at

The photographs do the selling

Large photographs let customers explore the cake styles and details, with a portfolio that remains easy to browse on a phone.

WhatsApp is the order form

Custom cake orders are a conversation about dates, flavours and designs, not a checkout. Sending people straight to a message thread removes the friction a form would add.

Warm rather than corporate

The colours, photography and wording reflect a personal, made-to-order service rather than a mass-market catalogue.
