Built by Cottage Food Entrepreneurs, for Cottage Food Entrepreneurs
We understand your challenges because we've lived them. Cottage CMS was born from the frustration of trying to build a professional cottage food business website with tools that just didn't get it.
Our Story
From Kitchen Frustration to Industry Solution
The Problem We Experienced
When our founder Sarah started her home bakery, she spent months trying to build a website. Wix and Squarespace felt generic. WordPress was overwhelming. Social media wasn't enough to look professional or handle customer inquiries properly.
None of these platforms understood cottage food businesses. They didn't know about state laws, compliance requirements, or the unique challenges of running a food business from home.
The Solution We Built
After selling her bakery and talking to hundreds of other cottage food entrepreneurs, Sarah realized the industry needed something completely different. Not another generic website builder, but a platform that truly understood cottage food businesses.
Cottage CMS was built from the ground up with cottage food entrepreneurs in mind. Every feature, every template, every tool is designed specifically for your industry.
