The Brief

Lucy’s Little Bakes is an independent Gateshead-based cake business specialising in handmade cakes and treats for birthdays, celebrations and special occasions.

With an impressive and growing portfolio of creations, Lucy needed a professional website that could showcase her work, build trust with potential customers and provide a simple way for people to discover the business and make an enquiry.

The website also needed to look beyond the immediate requirements. While the initial focus was on showcasing products and generating enquiries, the site needed to provide a solid foundation for future growth, including the potential introduction of online ordering and e-commerce functionality.

Key project objectives included:

  • Creating a modern, professional website that reflects the quality and creativity of Lucy’s work.
  • Building a visual portfolio capable of showcasing a growing range of cakes and creations.
  • Making it easy for potential customers to browse previous work, read customer reviews and get in touch.
  • Creating a responsive experience that works seamlessly across desktop, tablet and mobile.
  • Building strong technical and on-page SEO foundations to help improve visibility in local search.
  • Structuring the website so that future e-commerce and online ordering functionality can be introduced as the business grows.
  • Providing reliable, fully managed website hosting and professional business email.

We designed and developed a completely new website for Lucy’s Little Bakes, creating a clean, modern and highly visual platform that allows Lucy’s cakes to take centre stage.

The site was designed around the way potential customers are likely to choose a cake maker. Rather than overwhelming visitors with information, strong imagery is used throughout the website to showcase recent creations, supported by clear calls to action that encourage visitors to get in touch or explore the wider gallery. The live site also incorporates customer reviews prominently to provide social proof alongside Lucy’s work.

A dedicated gallery provides Lucy with a growing portfolio of previous creations, helping potential customers find inspiration while demonstrating the range and quality of work available. Reviews and customer feedback have also been incorporated throughout the experience to help establish trust with people discovering the business for the first time.

SEO was considered from the beginning rather than being added as an afterthought. The website has been built with search-friendly structure and technical foundations that give Lucy’s Little Bakes a platform from which to grow its visibility, particularly for customers searching for cakes and local baking services around Gateshead and the wider North East.

Importantly, we also built the website with future growth in mind. The current site focuses on showcasing Lucy’s products and generating enquiries, but its underlying structure provides a foundation for introducing e-commerce and online ordering functionality when the business is ready to take that next step.

Finally, Lucy’s Little Bakes was onboarded onto our fully managed hosting and email service. This means we continue to look after the technical side of the website, providing the reliable hosting, security, monitoring and ongoing support needed to keep the site running smoothly while Lucy can concentrate on creating great cakes.
