How Café Rosa Launched Their Website in Under 5 Minutes

When Maria Rodriguez decided to take her family bakery online, she was overwhelmed by the options. Traditional web developers quoted her thousands of dollars and timelines of several weeks. That's when she discovered Zenda.

The Challenge

Café Rosa had been a beloved neighborhood bakery in Portland for over 15 years, but they didn't have a web presence beyond a basic Instagram account. During the pandemic, Maria realized she needed to reach customers online to survive.

"I'm a baker, not a tech person," Maria told us. "I needed something that would just work without me having to learn coding or spend weeks on design."

The Solution

Maria signed up for Zenda on a Tuesday morning. Within 4 minutes and 37 seconds, she had a fully functional, beautiful website for Café Rosa.

Here's what she did:

1. Described her business - She entered "Café Rosa" and selected "Bakery & Café" from the business types
2. Chose her style - She picked a warm, earthy color theme that matched her café's cozy atmosphere
3. Added her details - Contact info, hours, location, and uploaded photos of her signature pastries
4. Hit publish - The AI-generated website went live instantly

The Results

The results were immediate and impressive:

• 3x increase in online orders in the first week
• 50+ new customers found them through Google search
• Professional appearance that matched high-end bakeries charging 10x more
• Zero technical headaches - everything just worked

"I can't believe how easy it was," Maria said. "My daughter helped me upload photos, and within minutes we had a website that looks like we paid thousands for it. My customers are impressed, and I'm getting orders from people across the city who never knew we existed."

The Features That Made the Difference

Maria particularly loved these Zenda features:

• Mobile-first design - Most of her customers browse on their phones during their commute
• Beautiful image galleries - Her pastry photos look stunning and professional
• Integrated contact form - Customers can easily reach out for catering inquiries
• Custom domain - She connected caferosa.com for that professional touch

Advice for Other Business Owners

When we asked Maria what she'd tell other small business owners considering Zenda, she didn't hesitate:

"Just do it. Seriously. If you're waiting for the 'perfect time' to get a website, or you think it's too complicated, or too expensive - Zenda solves all of that. I spent less time building my website than I spend making a batch of croissants."
