Louisville Bakeries: Your Pastries Bring People In. Your Website Should Too.
I'm Hunter, your Louisville Web Guy. I build bakery websites that are hand-coded, fast, and built from the ground up to rank on Google. When someone in the Highlands is searching for a custom birthday cake at 10pm, I make sure they find you first.

Sound Familiar?
"I don't have a website at all."
You've been running on word of mouth and your Instagram page for years. Regulars know you. But when a new family moves to St. Matthews and searches "bakery near me," they're not scrolling your feed. They're clicking the first Google result.
"My site doesn't show my menu or hours."
Someone built you a site years ago. The menu is a blurry PDF that won't open on a phone. The hours are wrong. Customers call to ask basic questions your website should answer. It's costing you time and sales.
"Nobody finds me when they search online."
You have a website. It exists. But when someone searches "custom cakes Louisville" or "bakery near me," the chain bakeries show up and you don't. The site is there. It just doesn't work.
"I can't take pre-orders through my site."
Derby season, Thanksgiving, Christmas, graduation parties. You're drowning in phone calls and texts for custom orders. Meanwhile, the bakery down the street has an order form on their site and they're getting the business while you're on hold.
Her Bourbon Pecan Pie Won Awards. Nobody Could Find It Online.
Picture this. A bakery owner on Frankfort Avenue had been winning local baking competitions for years. Her bourbon pecan pie was the talk of the neighborhood. But when someone in Crescent Hill searched "best pecan pie Louisville," she was nowhere. The grocery store bakeries showed up. National chains showed up. She didn't.
That's the kind of gap I fix. We built dedicated pages around her most popular items, optimized her Google Business Profile, and made sure the site loaded fast on mobile. Because someone ordering a pie for Thanksgiving dinner is searching on their phone, not sitting at a desktop.
Gorgeous Photos That Actually Load Fast
Here's something most web designers don't understand about bakery websites. The photos have to look incredible AND the page has to load in under two seconds. Those two things usually fight each other. A gallery of high-res cake photos on a bloated WordPress site? That page is crawling.
I hand-code every site I build. Clean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with properly optimized images. Your bourbon pecan pie looks just as stunning on a phone screen in Schnitzelburg as it does on a desktop in St. Matthews, and it loads before the customer loses patience and moves on.
Your pastries sell on visuals. But visuals that take six seconds to load on a phone don't sell anything. They just drive people to the next bakery in the search results.
Here's How I Actually Work With Bakeries
You call or text me.
5 minutes. Tell me about your bakery, what you're known for, and where you want more business. If you don't need my help, I'll tell you.
I do the research.
What are Louisville customers actually searching for when they need a bakery? Where are your competitors ranking? Where are the gaps? I pull real search data, not guesses.
I build your site.
Hand-coded. Not a template. Menu pages, your real photos, pre-order forms, mobile-friendly, and live in 1-2 weeks. You review it, we make tweaks, and it's done.
You stop worrying about it.
I handle hosting, updates, and maintenance. Need a change? Text me. "New holiday menu." Done. "Changed Sunday hours." Updated. That's the deal.
