Clarifying where customers can buy and what to do next

An appealing product range and two ways to buy needed a clearer opening message and more obvious next steps.

02BakeryANONYMISED HOMEPAGE REVIEW
BACKGROUND

The business and its homepage

A bakery selling cupcakes, cookies and brownies had a warm, upbeat homepage with two ways to buy: visiting the shop or ordering for delivery. The products were appealing and easy to recognise, but important practical details about location, delivery and the next step were not immediately clear.

WHAT THE REVIEW FOUND

The fresh-eyes view

The product range was clear and the homepage supported both shopping routes. However, the opening lacked one primary action, useful location and delivery information appeared later, and several headings were too vague to help someone scanning quickly. Product categories also became less noticeable on mobile.

Recommendations

Four changes worth
considering.

These suggestions focus on clarity and the customer journey rather than technical changes behind the website.

  1. 01

    Decide whether ordering, visiting the shop or presenting both options should lead the homepage.

  2. 02

    Add a short location, collection and delivery line near the top.

  3. 03

    Replace vague headings with wording that clearly describes the products or buying options.

  4. 04

    Give product categories more room and make them easier to scan on mobile.

01
THE FIRST CHANGE WE’D MAKE

Add a clear opening message explaining where the bakery is based and how customers can buy, followed by “Order for delivery” and “Visit our shop.”

The homepage already feels warm and appetising. A clearer opening message and a little wording tidy-up would make it easier for first-time visitors to choose how they want to buy.
