Case Study: Cakes by Rachel Website Migration

Overview

Cakes by Rachel is a boutique bakery specializing in custom wedding cakes. Their previous WordPress site was outdated and hard to maintain, limiting visibility and ease of use for couples seeking inspiration. The goal of the redesign was to create a modern, mobile-friendly experience that reflected the artistry of Rachel’s cakes while making it easier for clients to browse galleries and submit inquiries.

Streamlined Navigation: Simplified menus and calls-to-action to guide visitors directly to galleries and inquiries.
