The site

Scroll the page, and the phone scrolls with you

A full-length capture of breezein.com, moving in step with the page.

1

Custom design & build

Designed around the client's content and customers rather than a template, and built on WordPress so their own staff can edit every page.

2

Online store

Products, cart and checkout on WooCommerce, with payments settled straight to the client — no marketplace in the middle.

3

Learning center

Courses and lessons people take at their own pace, with progress tracked per person.

4

Employee portal

A logged-in area for staff: handbooks, forms and training in one place, off the public site.

Before & after

2 chapters, newest first

Drag the handle. Earlier chapters sit lower on the page; the oldest version is at the bottom.

2024
Redesign

The old home page was a wall of weekly soup text on black. The new one leads with the bakery and puts Menu, Catering and Spirits one tap away.

A calendar the client updates themselves; upcoming events surface on the home page automatically.

Our photography

Every image on the site was shot by Hoke Designs — people, product and place — so the site looks like the business, not a stock library.

Logo & identity

A refreshed mark and color system, delivered as print- and web-ready files.

Managed hosting

Hosted on our Alaska-managed servers: daily backups, malware scanning, updates and a real person to call.

The story

The brief

Breeze In runs three round-the-clock convenience stores, a scratch bakery, a deli and a catering kitchen. The old site was a black page listing the week's soups. The 2024 rebuild put the food first, moved catering orders and party trays online, and gave the company a staff portal with training and signed paperwork behind a login.

What we did

A Juneau institution since the 1970s, family-owned, with stores in the Valley, Lemon Creek and downtown.

What changed

Catering requests arrive as structured orders instead of phone calls, weekly specials are updated by staff in minutes, and new hires complete onboarding and food-safety training on the site before their first shift.
