Website Implementation - Redesign & Development
Cornerstone Bakery & Restaurant
Cornerstone Bakery & Restaurant faced challenges with their online operations, which were divided between two platforms: PopMenu for their homepage and online menu, and Ecwid for e-commerce. These systems were inadequate due to the cumbersome e-commerce setup and numerous manual entry steps, which led to errors. Their objectives included having a website that they could fully control and easily modify, streamlining the shipping process, and automating it wherever possible, all within the website's back end without needing to log into a separate platform.
To address these issues, we rebuilt their site using Elementor Pro and Hello Theme, leveraging Elementor's Theme Builder and custom CSS for WooCommerce, and redesigning their logo. This upgrade allowed them to select the site's design and easily make routine changes after receiving some training. They can now: view item quantities for each order at a glance (through custom coding), print pick lists to see the total quantities needed for all orders, and generate shipping labels to print and request pickups. These improvements eliminated their previous manual entries, reducing order processing time by 75%.
Additionally, we implemented Advanced Custom Fields and custom post types to create user-role-based views, resulting in a tidier experience for employees and restricted access to necessary menus. Dane Digi now handles general site maintenance, including backups, software updates, and uptime monitoring, while continuing to collaborate with them on strategies to enhance their online presence.
