Case Study: JCakes Bakery flourishes during the pandemic with DreamHost

JCakes Bakery evolves from a 1-page site to a virtual storefront with DreamHost

JCakes Bakery, a Connecticut-based custom cake shop, faced the challenge of establishing a digital presence to grow its business and adapt to increasing demand, especially during the pandemic. Owner Hope Looney enlisted her friend Pete Kuhn, who recommended DreamHost to provide a reliable and scalable hosting solution for their website.

DreamHost provided the hosting foundation, starting with shared hosting and seamlessly upgrading to DreamPress, which supported the bakery's WordPress site and its integration with WooCommerce for online ordering. This solution allowed JCakes to flourish during the pandemic by enabling real-time inventory updates and streamlined custom orders, leading to a huge uptick in business and establishing the site as a vital virtual storefront and lead generation engine.
