  • #45 - 10 Reasons You Need a Website... and the Secrets to Launching it within 7 Days!
    Jun 19 2026

    Are you still taking orders through Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, or text messages? In this episode, we share the top 10 reasons why every charcuterie business, cottage food business, baker, maker, and food entrepreneur needs a professional website.

    In this episode, we discuss how a website helps us look more legitimate, automate orders, collect customer leads, schedule bookings, showcase products, gather reviews, improve Google visibility, and create a business that keeps working even when we're busy making products or vending at events.

    We also talk about preparing for fall market season, why now is the time to apply for holiday vendor events, and how a website can help us generate sales year-round instead of relying solely on social media.

    Whether you're selling charcuterie boards, sourdough bread, cookies, cupcakes, soups, seasonings, or other cottage food products, having a website can help us save time, stay organized, and grow a more profitable food business.
