Website Design Client: Sweetrosie's Bakery
Location: Woodstock, IL 60098
This local baker did very well selling sweets and Tamales at various farmer's markets in Lake and McHenry Counties in Northern, Illinois. She was so successful that she decided to open her very own bakery and catering company that would be based in Woodstock, IL. When it was time to start her new business, she knew that she needed a professional eCommerce bakery website, that provided unique functionality as required for her business. For example, due to the custom made foods that customers would be ordering, she needed preparation time restrictions built into the website. This prep time function was needed to ensure that customers would be aware that they could not pick-up their order until 72 hours after placing it. She also needed a delivery option, that would allow customers within 25 miles to have their sweets or catered food delivered to them! When she saw the many Bakery website designs that AdverGroup had developed for various other famous bakeries, she knew that we were the best Bakery website design company among the many other options she had considered.
Aside from selecting a professional web designer to assist her with her new eCommerce bakery website, she had many other questions. Questions like:
Beyond building a pro bakery website for Sweetrosie's bakery, we also helped them develop their bakery inventory into a product feed which could be imported into the Shopify eCommerce platform. We helped this client populate their website by developing a well thought out product feed that included all the required information like product name, price, weight, etc. we also made sure that product variants, variant pricing and intelligently thought out SEO page titles and descriptions were included in their product feed.

Other items included in this eCommerce Shopify Bakery Website Design Package:
- Professional Logo Creation included with this custom Shopify website design.
- Product Options and Variants for eCommerce Bakery Products: Being a bakery, you could imagine the many product options that could be possible with these food products. Custom options implemented in this project were: cake sizes, cake flavors, icing flavors, custom name inscriptions, cello bag wrapping and more. Even more complicating these options needed to be applied to individual products and/or collections and in some cases were required to change the final product price by adding additional costs for options.
Pick-Up Locations and Delivery Restrictions Configured for Shopify eCommerce Web Design: This local bakery offers pick-up to local customers and delivery to customers within 25 miles of their physical location (which required connection with Google Maps API to verify distance requirements). Whether, the client was selecting pick-up, or delivery, they needed this to be very clear to their shoppers while ensuring a smooth check out process.- Custom Preparation Time for eCommerce Products: This Bakery's process required "preparation time" to be noted and pick-up dates to be restricted dependent upon preparation time set for specific products and dates.
- UPS Shipping API for eCommerce: While the client is currently not shipping any of their baked items, this functionality is available for use at a later date. However, for this bakery client, we have disabled shipping for all product in their store.
- "Call for Price" or "Get a Quote" for Shopify eCommerce: This bakery also produces super custom cakes for weddings and all occasions. While they wanted to exhibit these many cake styles on their website, pricing is always custom. So they needed to the ability to designate certain products to show "Call for Price" or "Get a Quote" rather than pricing.
- Product date restrictions for Seasonal eCommerce Products: We coded and configured this client's Shopify store to allow the client to set product availability based on dates. This allowed the client to display products in their store, but making them available only to add to cart between certain dates.
- Product Quantity Restrictions: Limits can be set on: Total dollar value in cart, Total number of items in cart, Number of individual items, Number of items for a specific product, Number of items within a group of products, Multiples of items in a product group (ie; 6 bottles in a case) Limits based on customer tag such as wholesale, Total weight of items in the cart.
- Tax overrides configured for Shopify eCommerce: Shopify for taxes as part of their PCI compliance configuration and in effort to make configurations easy for clients. But what about when you have a food product that only collects 1.75% rather than the tax percentages forced by Shopify? The solution is to configure custom tax overrides in Shopify.
- "Amazon Style" Filter for eCommerce Products: When you have almost 3,000 products in your eCommerce store you need an easy way to navigate through the store. As a local Shopify expert we are have experience configuring your stores inventory properly, ensuring products are tagged intelligently so that your many product types, flavors and product uses are tagged in your products and configured in your filter app to ensure a pleasing user experience for customers who frequent your online store.
- Coupons and Discounts: Configured coupons and discounts in the Shopify eCommerce Platform.
- Custom Email Notifications to Customers and Administrators: This client required their very custom eCommerce website to provide specific details on their invoices and emails to customers and administrators. We custom coded their eCommerce invoices and email notifications to include all the information relative to their specific: pick-up locations, pick-up date, pick-up time, deliveries, discounts and more.
Additional Tasks Accomplished in this Custom Shopify eCommerce Website Project for Local Bakery in Woodstock:
- Product Feed Creation: Creation of clients pre-existing inventory into the Shopify eCommerce product feed. This product feed/inventory of products allowed the client the ability to enhance their products during the website development process for their new bakery.
