Industry
Food & beverage

Established in 1990 in Kerala, this bakery is known for its traditional baked goods and its customer service.

As demand grew, they came to us in 2023 to bring the way they do business onto the web with an online store of their own.

The challenge

Sales were limited to people who could visit the shop, orders were processed by hand, and there was no good way to show the full range.

They wanted to reach more customers and work more efficiently without losing the character that built their reputation.

The solution

What we built

We built a custom e-commerce site shaped around how a bakery actually takes orders.

01

Brand-led storefront

A warm, visual design that reflects the bakery's identity and makes the range easy to browse.

02

Product add-ons

Customers personalise their order, such as a message on a cake or extra toppings.

03

Delivery or pickup

Customers choose home delivery or collection from the shop.

04

Time slots

Deliveries and pickups are booked into slots that suit the customer and the kitchen.

05

Secure payments

An integrated payment gateway for a smooth, secure checkout.
