Batch: a bakery website template
Batch is an HTML website template for an independent bakery: a homepage with a live bake clock and a menu page that prints. You change everything (name, colors, fonts, words, prices, hours, bake times, photos) in one file, and you never pay a monthly website-builder fee. Personal $49, Designer $99.
Why buy it
A bakery website you edit in one file.
- Pay once. No monthly website-builder fee.
- A live bake clock shows what just came out of the oven and what comes next, with a countdown, on your shop's time zone.
- Change everything in one text file: name, colors, fonts, words, prices, hours, bake times and photos.
- A menu page that prints on one Letter or A4 sheet, with diet tags and bake times beside items.
- A plain-English setup guide in the download, with separate pages for Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost and other hosts with a File Manager, and one on domain names.
- Two licenses: Personal for one business you own or run, Designer for up to 5 client businesses. Instant download.
Good to know: Batch is an HTML template, not a Wix, Squarespace or Shopify theme. You upload it to a web host, and free plans exist.
Live on a sample bakery
Closed · opens 7:00 am
Half Past Four is a made-up bakery. Times are New York time, not yours. This is the bake clock from the Batch template.
Who this is for
- Independent bakeries that want a two-page website with a live bake clock and a menu that prints, with no monthly website-builder fee.
- Designers and freelancers building sites for up to 5 client businesses (the Designer license).
Who this is not for
- Anyone who wants a theme for Wix, Squarespace or Shopify. Batch is a folder of website files.
- Shops that need online orders or payments built in. Batch does not take them.
- Anyone who does not want to edit one text file and upload one folder.
The bake clock
Type your bake times once. The homepage shows a clock marked with each one, plus a plain line under it: what just came out of the oven and what comes out next, with a countdown. It runs on your shop's time zone and knows your opening hours, so it says "Closed today. Tomorrow: first out of the oven at 7:00 am" when it should.
What is included
- Homepage: headline, bake clock, today's bake list, the bakes you are known for, your story, cake orders, hours and directions.
- Menu page: sections, prices, diet tags (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, contains nuts), bake times next to items, and a print button. The sample menu prints on one Letter or A4 sheet.
- 13 bakery drawings (loaf, baguette, croissant, bun, cookie, cake, bagel, donut, pretzel, coffee, tin loaf, tart, focaccia) that recolor themselves with your colors. Swap any of them for your own photo.
- Two fonts built in (Archivo and DM Mono, open font license), or use any Google Fonts name.
- An "open now" badge, an hours table that highlights today, a directions link built from your address, and search-engine business details (name, address, phone, hours).
- Closed for lunch? Write your hours as two parts, like "07:00-12:30, 15:00-19:00", and the site says "Closed, back at 3:00 pm" during the break.
- A setup strip that appears only on your own computer. It lists what still needs changing and points out any time, color or photo name it cannot read.
- A setup guide that opens in your browser, with separate step-by-step pages for Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Hostinger, GoDaddy, Bluehost and other hosts with a File Manager; a page for what to do if you already have a Wix, Squarespace or Shopify site; a plain-words page on domain names; a page for when something goes wrong; and a short list of the words it uses.

Good to know

- Visitors need JavaScript turned on (all current browsers have it on by default).
- The sample bakery, Half Past Four, is fictional. Its name, address, people and prices are made up.

Questions
Does it take online orders or payments?
No. It has a cake-order section with an email link or a link to your own order form, and an "Order online" button if you use an ordering service.
Can I use it on Wix, Squarespace or Shopify?
No. Batch is a folder of website files, not a theme for those services. The setup guide has a page that explains your options.
Do I need to know how to code?
You edit one text file and upload one folder. The guide shows both with pictures of the real template and says what to do when a mistake breaks the page.
Can I try it first?
Yes: the live demo runs the real template on a sample bakery.
Can I get my money back?
Yes. Every download has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
