The brief.

A neighborhood bakery lives on three questions. What’s fresh, are you open, and can I order ahead?

Most bakery sites bury those answers under a slideshow. I set out to answer all three before anyone scrolls.

Wren & Rye is a made up business. I gave it a name, a menu, opening hours and a personality, then built the site the way I’d build it for a paying client.

What I built, and why.

Four decisions shaped the page. Each one starts with what a customer wants to know.

  • The oven times come first

    The sign on the first screen lists what comes out of the oven and when. It’s what regulars most want to know, so it gets the best seat.

  • One clear way to order

    For a bakery this size, ordering ahead is a phone call. The order section says how much notice they need and puts the number on a button.

  • A menu you can read

    Three short columns with the prices lined up on the right. Nothing to download, and no pinching to zoom.

  • A look that feels like the shop

    Blue and butter yellow, a striped awning and chunky lettering, like a hand painted shop sign. The wren was drawn for this site.

On a phone.

Most visitors to a local business site are on a phone, so the phone layout is designed first.

A note on the pictures. For a real build I’d use your own photos: the shop, the people, the work. This concept uses drawings, because I won’t put stock photos on a page and pass them off as a business.

These scores were measured on a test copy of the site before launch. The search score is left out because this concept is hidden from search engines on purpose. The business isn’t real, so it shouldn’t show up in Google.

This concept is coded by hand and lives on this site. A client site is built on the platform you already have, and some platforms are slower than others. I’ll tell you what yours can reach before we start.
