A website for a bakery
The brief for an artisan bakery or pastry shop: what you bake, when the door is open, and how to get there. Copy it, paste it to your assistant, answer its questions.
In short
For an artisan bakery that sells to the neighbourhood. Gets your assistant to research you first, propose a plan, then build seven pages: home with today's hours, breads, pastries, orders with a form, about, find us, FAQ. Published with SayLive.
What this prompt asks your assistant to build
Written as you would say it. Paste it as is, then answer what your assistant asks.
I want a website for my artisan bakery, built in this conversation and published with SayLive. We bake on site every morning, most of our customers live or work within walking distance, and the site has to answer what people ask us ten times a day on the phone: are you open on Sunday, do you make cakes to order, is there bread left at 6 pm. Before writing. Look us up online (Google Maps, the reviews, our social accounts), tell me what you found, and ask me one question at a time for what is missing: our specialties, the closing day, whether I show prices, the lead time for orders, the photographs I have. Never invent an opening hour, a price or a review. Then propose the site plan, page by page, with what each page says and where it links. I validate, then you write. The pages. Home: what we do in one sentence, today's hours visible without scrolling, one call to action. Breads: our flours and the mill, the sourdough, the bakes of the day and when each one comes out. Pastries: the classics, what changes with the season, the allergens. Orders: cakes and large quantities, the lead time, deposit or not, and a form. About us: since when, who kneads, why. Find us: address, map, parking, full hours with the closing day, a tappable phone number. And an FAQ with the eight questions people really ask us. The tone. Warm and direct, like at the counter. No "exceptional craftsmanship": hours, names, facts. So people find us. Write in the text what people type: bakery and the name of the neighbourhood, open on Sunday, cake to order. A different title and description per page, one H1, subheadings written as questions, and the hours in the footer of every page. Technically. A static site, fast on a phone: images in WebP and resized, no third-party script, no cookie banner since we track nobody, a useful alt text on every photo. With SayLive. I drop my photographs in the media library, you place them; the order form is the one included with the site, and the orders reach my email. When I say publish, publish and give me the address. I reread it on my phone, you fix and republish; if a version is worse, we go back to the previous one. When I am happy, I connect my own domain name.
What to have at hand before you paste it
- Your business name, address, opening hours, phone and email.
- Five to ten photographs you own the rights to.
- Three concrete proofs: years in business, a certification, a number that means something.
- A list of what you bake, by family, with two lines on each.
With SayLive, even better
What you get with SayLive on top
This prompt is enough: pasted into any assistant, it gets you a good site. Connected to SayLive, the same assistant works with what is held back here, with nothing to install:
- The SayLive skills, loaded by themselves: the research on your business before a line is written, the floor a page has to reach, the SEO plan with its queries and internal links, the structured data, and the critical review the assistant gives its own work before publishing. Included with every site.
- The Blueprint "Local shop": what a specialist of your trade knows and this prompt does not say. The questions to ask before the first line, the pages a site of this kind needs, what goes wrong in this trade, and the claims never to make unchecked. Bought once, for the site, 29.
- Alma, our designer agent: an art direction that holds from one conversation to the next, rather than your assistant's default style. Recruited once, 99.
- A human, if you want one: the Boost, 499 per expert day, when you would rather have a person take the site in hand.
And with every published site: 150 publications, 50 MB of media, 50 form messages, 50 review tickets, your own domain connected, and the previous version back in one sentence.
Frequently asked questions
Should a bakery website list prices?
Only if you can keep them current. The prompt asks your assistant to check with you first: an outdated price on a website is a small broken promise at the counter.
Do I need an online shop?
Most bakeries do not. A clear special-orders page with a form and a lead time does the job without stock, payment or delivery to manage.
What if I have no good photographs?
Take them in the morning light, in the shop, with your phone. The site can go live with five, and your assistant will place new ones when you upload them to the media library.
