How to Modify the AidaForm Online Cake Order Form
What to Consider When You Create a Cake Order Form
Organize Your Questions Logically
Group related questions so your customers can easily navigate your form and understand the ordering process better. For example, put a block asking for contact information at the end of your form. First, let customers learn about your cake variety and choose their cake. It’s better to let people decide if they want to order a cake at all before asking for contact information. Plus, if they’ve already invested time into choosing their dream cake, they’ll be more likely to give you information about themselves.
Illustrate Choices at All Ordering Stages
As a baker, you know much more about cakes than people who order your cakes. Help them make a decision with clear and friendly examples in your cake order form. Add a diagram of cake tiers and show the difference between marzipan and sugar decorations using pictures, use evocative filling descriptions, and compose helpful placeholders. Even someone who’s never ordered a cake at your bakery before should understand what you’re offering.
Show the Order Progress to Your Customers
If your order form has several stages, for example, Cake Creation – Delivery – Checkout and Payment, you should indicate which step is in progress in the online cake order form. Visualization of the order process is important, the client should see how far they are in and how much more there is to complete. However, try not to make the ordering process too long :)
