Cookie Twist: Ecommerce Website for Bakery Products

In the USA, Cookie Twist has expanded to a new location with two unique stores. These establishments remain the top choices for delicious cakes, pastries, and breads. Our client has partnered with Walmart for convenient shopping experiences and quick deliveries; our client has teamed up with 7-Eleven and similar stores nationwide. This ensures that customers can enjoy our treats efficiently and promptly.

Challenge:

Our client wanted to set up an online store to sell cookies and needed a simple logo. We also had to devise a plan for the brand and create new cookie types like Chocolate Chip Delight, Oatmeal Raisin Crunch, Hazelnut Bliss, and Mint Chocolate Treat. We had to design paper and online materials with a tight deadline. The team at Manektech was excited about the challenge.

To start, we understood what our client wanted before we began to design anything. This was crucial to create a strong base for our work. Whether it was making the logo, setting up the online store, figuring out how to send and deliver cookies, or designing the packages, we didn't just focus on making things look good; we wanted to capture what the brand stood for. Knowing our client's goals was crucial for getting the logo right.

The big goal for our client was to have an online store where they could sell cookies, make it easy for people to buy, and have UBER Eats handle the deliveries.

Solution:

Our team built a vibrant and attractive new Bakery Product Online Ordering System website with lively colors and valuable features. We added an Instagram feed to display various images, a map and directory for the campus, a timeline to explore history interactively, an event calendar, a blog, and more.
