Hollywood cakes is a custom party cake building company. They specialise in making big centerpieces for weddings and other big events. They wanted a website to promote their cakes and they asked me to build it. The brief was to design something which looked “Hollywood” and was stylish and classy. It was important to keep the design simple and easy to use, but also with a “glitzy sparkle”. I came up with a few different ideas and we chose the best bits of them and combined them into the final design.
Once the client was happy with the design I turned the created an XHTML/CSS template and integrated this into a content management system. This made it easy for the client to keep the site up to date. I also added “Buy Now” buttons, linked to a Paypal account so that the cakes could be ordered from the website.
You can see the site live at: http://hollywoodcakes.org
Ben’s work has exceeded our expectations on every level. Our new website looks fantastic and it was a joy to work with Ben - he had plenty of time to explain things to us and made the whole process really easy. We would recommend him to anyone wanting to create a website! Thanks! - Max Wilson
