A demo build: Garrison Street Bakery
A full site design for a fictional Crystal Beach bakery, built to show what's possible rather than tell you about it.
Garrison Street Bakery doesn't exist. There's no real shop at 214 Garrison Road, no real phone number, and no real oven starting at 4:30. It's a demo build: a complete single-page design for a Niagara small business, made the way I'd build a real neighbourhood bakery's site, so you can see the craft instead of taking my word for it.

Why it is built this way
A stranger on a phone wants three things fast: where you are, when you're open, and how to get bread before the weekend rush. So the first screen carries the bakery name as the main signal, one plain headline, one line about the place, and a short CTA pair — pickup order or hours. The phone number sits in the sticky header for people who'd rather call than scroll.
What each design decision solves
- A fact strip under the hero. Today's hours, the address, Saturday market timing and the phone number sit in one band, so a visitor checking whether the shop is open gets the answer without hunting.
- Hours and location as facts, not adjectives. Border-weekend traffic and the Peace Bridge route are stated plainly — the questions a Fort Erie counter actually hears.
- A short bake list with prices. Guests choose by loaf and budget; nobody opens a PDF menu to learn what a levain costs.
- A Saturday market section. Seasonal stall hours and what remains a phone order stay separate, so the outdoor rush doesn't bury catering requests.
- Order steps without a fake cart. Pickup-only businesses shouldn't pretend they have checkout software they don't run.
- FAQ in collapsible panels. Custom cakes, holiday Mondays, gluten-free limits and US cards are readable before the call, without a wall of text.
What is invented here
Everything about Garrison Street Bakery is made up, including its address, phone number, prices, hours and menu. They show how each section reads. None of it describes a real business.
Real client sites will replace this over time. Until they do, this is the honest way to show the work: clearly labelled as a demo, not dressed up as a testimonial.
