The
Brief

Founded in Glastonbury, England, over 40 years ago, Burns the Bread is a family-run business with three generations of experience. Nowadays, the business boasts six locations across England, as well as a baking school.

Their history is integral to their business — a notable example is the recipe for their famous Torsy Morsy cake, which was discovered in a fireplace years ago.

The
Project

Burns the Bread reached out to Monddi in need of a new website. The website needed, first of all, to give this historic family business a modern look. Secondly, Burns the Bread’s owners sought a functional and easily manageable booking system for their School of Baking, as well as a voucher management system to streamline their operations. Lastly, the new website needed to present Burns the Bread as a proudly family-owned business that deeply cares about their work — and to show off their delicious bakes, too!

The
Solution

The first step in creating this solution was establishing the visual identity, which involved bringing together Burns the Bread’s brand assets to create a cohesive look and feel. We designed a hand-drawn wheat print to reduce large white areas in the site. This allowed us to create a warmer feel, add a personal touch, and align with the brand’s family values. The final result is a modern yet welcoming website that represents the heritage of this family-run business.

Moreover, a simple navigation method ensures visitors can easily access each page, including the School of Baking. The School features a user-friendly voucher and booking system which results in a seamless user experience. Both are easily managed from the WordPress backend, ensuring seamless use on the owners’ side as well.

Lastly, providing the brand with numerous opportunities to showcase high-quality images of their products, along with intuitive “Read more” options that offer visitors as much or as little information as they need, enables the website to remain sleek and contemporary without compromising content.
