For most businesses, building a website looks like a weekend job, and then it gets put off for months. In this post we build a bakery's site from start to finish, with the clock running.
Start with one sentence
The first step is a single box. Write what you do, where you are and what your customers come to you for. It doesn't need to be long; the assistant asks about anything that's missing.
The same box is on the bunnyrain.com home page. Write there and sign up, and the assistant picks up your request, asks if it needs anything, and builds your site; when it's done you land in the editor. If you start from the panel, press New site on My sites, open the editor and write the same sentence to the assistant.
A good description has:
- Your business name and where you are
- What you sell or which service you offer
- Your opening hours
- Your phone number and address, if you have them
The assistant builds the page
Cover, about, products, photos, opening hours and a contact form. The assistant writes every section and picks fitting sample photos to get you started. Nothing goes live yet; you look first.
Want another page? Just ask: "Add an order page and explain how cake orders work."
Click the text, fix it
Don't like the headline? Click it and type. To change the colors or the font, pick them in the theme panel; every page changes together. If you don't like a change the assistant made, press Undo in the notice at the bottom of the screen.
Swapping the sample photos for your own makes the biggest difference. A few shots of your window, counter and products are enough.
Publish
Press Publish and your site opens at its bunnyrain.app address. To connect your own domain, a few DNS records are all it takes; the steps are in Connect your own domain. Total time: less than a cup of coffee.
The next steps are in the list on your site's Overview screen: a site icon, your domain and your Google business. To get to know the editor better, read the Editor tour guide.

Your site's analytics write nothing to a visitor's browser, so no cookie banner is needed. Here's what we count and what it costs us.
Next: Photos or a list on your menu?
Pick your QR menu's design by the photos you have. A menu with few photos looks best in a list design, one with lots of photos in a photo design.
