Alfresco the Bakery Website on Multiple Devices

Project Overview

Digitale Technologies identified Alfresco the Bakery as a premium artisan bakery with exceptional potential for digital growth. This family-run business had evolved from a home-based sourdough operation during the 2020 pandemic to a full-scale operation with branches in Harare and Bulawayo, but was missing a crucial piece of their digital puzzle - a professional website.

When we approached Alfresco, we discovered they had already built an outstanding digital infrastructure through their social media presence. They had everything perfectly in place: stunning product photography, a well-established brand identity with logo, comprehensive information about their offerings, and a strong social following. Their philosophy "Homemade treats are not always perfect but they definitely are the best" resonated beautifully across their platforms.

The website became the final touch - the missing cornerstone that would complete their digital ecosystem. Our challenge was to take their existing excellence in social media and translate it into a comprehensive web experience that would showcase their artisan products, manage their dual locations, and provide customers with an intuitive way to connect with the brand beyond social platforms.

"Working with Digitale was transformative for our business. They understood our artisan philosophy and created a website that perfectly complemented our existing social media presence."
