Why your bakery needs a website
Your bakery smells incredible, your pastries look beautiful, and your regulars rave about your sourdough. But none of that matters to the person searching "bakery near me" who has never heard of you. A website puts your best work in front of new customers at the exact moment they are looking for what you make.
A bakery website should feel as warm and inviting as your shop. This template uses a rustic artisan aesthetic with earthy tones that let your baked goods take center stage. The menu layout is designed for bakeries specifically -- organized by category with room for descriptions, pricing, and special order information.
Whether you specialize in artisan breads, custom cakes, French pastries, or a mix of everything, this template gives you a professional web presence. Add your daily schedule, highlight your specialties, and let customers know how to place special orders -- all without touching a line of code.

What pages does a bakery website need?
A homepage featuring your best items, a menu page organized by category (breads, pastries, cakes, etc.) with pricing, an about page with your story and baking philosophy, and a contact page with hours and location. If you take custom orders for cakes or events, a dedicated ordering section is worth adding.
Should I take online orders through my bakery website?
If you handle pre-orders or custom cakes, having an order form on your website saves time for both you and your customers. Even a simple contact form for special requests works. You do not need a full e-commerce setup unless you ship products -- a form or a link to your ordering platform is enough.
How do I photograph my baked goods for my website?
Natural light is your best friend. Shoot near a window in the morning, use a simple background (wood, marble, or linen), and photograph items at a slight angle. You do not need professional equipment -- a phone camera with good lighting produces excellent results for a bakery website.
How do I get my bakery found on Google?
Set up a Google Business Profile with your address, hours, and photos. Make sure your website lists the same information. Use specific terms on your site like "sourdough bread" or "custom birthday cakes" rather than just "bakery" -- this helps you appear in more specific searches that lead to actual customers.
