What a chocolatier website needs to do
A chocolatier website should show the range in sharp photos, explain boxes and custom orders and make gifting simple. Holiday deadlines, shipping cutoffs and pickup details belong near the top, because those are what buyers need most.
Corporate gifts and wedding favors are separate jobs from a walk-in purchase. A page for each, with minimums and lead times, helps planners decide and keeps order requests specific.
People searching for a chocolatier usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.
Order a box
Gift boxes and favorites
Request custom or corporate gifts
Weddings and offices
See holiday deadlines
Order and shipping dates
Visit the shop
Hours and location
Timing matters. Valentine’s Day, Easter and the winter holidays are the peaks, so show ordering and shipping cutoffs well in advance.
The pages a chocolatier website needs
A chocolatier site does not need dozens of pages. It needs the right few, each doing one job:
- ✓Home with gifts and deadlines
- ✓Chocolates and boxes — the range with photos
- ✓Custom and corporate orders — minimums and lead time
- ✓Weddings and favors
- ✓About us
- ✓Location and contact
Need a page for every service or town you cover? The larger packages give you room to grow.
Mistakes we see on chocolatier websites
