At Emily Benson Consulting, I believe good design solves problems—even the ones you didn’t know you had. That’s why every website I build starts with one big question:

How can this site actually support your business—not just represent it?

That’s exactly what guided the design process for Heather at House of Marmalade, a charming small business offering hand-crafted, made-to-order baked goods in the 757 area. While she knew she wanted to elevate her digital presence, Heather gave me full creative freedom with the build—and I was thrilled to bring her brand to life online.

A Custom Fit for a Custom Business

Heather had a few key goals for her site:

Customers needed to be able to order online.
Different products required different lead times.
She needed to be able to block out certain pickup dates when she was unavailable.
Some customers wanted the flexibility to order in advance.

These features aren’t standard in the website platform, but I was able to find and integrate a third-party solution that checked every box. The result? A smooth, user-friendly ordering experience—for both Heather and her customers.

Because when you’re running a small business, little details like this aren’t so little. They can be the difference between staying buried in logistics and finally catching your breath.

The End Result

Thanks to the beautiful branding by JW Design Company and thoughtful copywriting from Stelly Marketing, we created a site that’s clean, elevated, and true to the heart of House of Marmalade. The site is as functional as it is beautiful, giving Heather the tools she needs to keep growing her business with confidence.

Here’s what she had to say about the project:

“Working with Emily Benson Consulting was the best decision for my business. She is highly knowledgeable and was a joy to work with. Emily made a beautiful website that truly highlights my business, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out. I didn’t really have a vision of what I wanted, but I gave Emily complete creative freedom, and wow, did she deliver! She took my logo design and branding colors and created something magical; I can’t stop looking at it! When we reviewed the website’s first draft, it was PERFECT, no notes! So, if you’re in the market for a new website, look no further; Emily will take great care of you and your business.”
