How to make a website for a home baker

People who order from a home baker want to see what you make, what it costs, how many days ahead to order and where to pick it up. A small website puts your menu and rules in one link you can send instead of typing them in every chat, and orders still come to your WhatsApp.

What people look for on a home baker website

• What you bake: brownies, cookies, cupcakes, tea cakes, celebration cakes, dessert jars
• Prices per box, per piece or per half kg, and the box sizes you make
• How many days ahead to order, and how many orders you take in a day
• Eggless, wheat flour or sugar-free options, and what you can't promise, such as nut-free
• Pickup area and pickup hours, and whether you arrange delivery
• Gift boxes and return gifts for birthdays and festivals, with the minimum quantity
• Your FSSAI registration number, if you have one

The pages your website needs

• Home: Who you are, what you bake, how far ahead to order, your pickup area and a WhatsApp button
• Menu: Brownies, cookies, cupcakes and cakes with sizes and prices, and eggless and wheat flour options marked
• Gift boxes: Festive boxes, return gifts and corporate boxes with what goes in each, prices and the minimum order
• How to order: Notice needed, advance, pickup times, delivery, and what happens if an order is changed or cancelled
• Contact: Your pickup area with a landmark, hours, WhatsApp and phone; the exact address shared on WhatsApp after the order

Sample words for your home page

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

1. Decide the pages. Most home baker websites need these pages: Home, Menu, Gift boxes, How to order, Contact.
2. Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
3. Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
4. Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
5. Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your home baker, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a home baker website

• Show your area and a landmark, not your house number; share the exact address on WhatsApp once an order is confirmed.
• Write how many days ahead people must order. It saves you from last-minute requests you can't take.
• If you can't keep a kitchen nut-free, say so on the menu page instead of promising it.
• Take photos on the same plain background near a window, so the menu looks like one set.
• Put your FSSAI registration number on the website if you have one.
• Add the website link to your WhatsApp Business profile and your status, where most of your orders start.

What it costs

• Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
• Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
• Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
• Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.

Good to know

• Customers can't pick a date or pay an advance on the website; they message you on WhatsApp. To keep orders by pickup date, advances and how many you can bake in a day, a home baker app fits better.
• The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
• A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
• Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Do I need a website if I take orders on WhatsApp?

A website gives you one link with your menu, prices and order rules, so you don't type them again for every new customer. Orders still come to your WhatsApp.

Will my home address be shown on the website?

Only what you ask for. Many home bakers show the area and a landmark and share the full address after the order is confirmed.

Can I show that I only take a few orders a day?

Yes. Write it on the how to order page, for example 'I take 6 cake orders a day, so book early for weekends'.

Can I add my FSSAI number to the website?

Yes, if you have one. Ask AppCub to add it to the footer or the contact page.

How do I add a new flavour?

Ask in the chat, for example 'add hazelnut brownies at ₹520 for 6', then publish again.

Can people send me a cake design through the website?

No. They tap WhatsApp on the website and send you the picture in the chat.
