My Challah Dealer
Home Bakery · Portland, Oregon
Overview
My Challah Dealer is a one-person home bakery in Portland that sells one thing: challah for Shabbat, picked up on Fridays. We designed the brand and built the business around it. The identity is a full logo system: badge, braid mark, two lockups, wordmark, die-cut sticker, a bread-clip secondary mark and a six-shape sticker set, with print files for a clip-shaped business card and a bag stamp. The website is one React page set in that identity, with a three-step order form. Every order lands in a Google Sheet and sends two emails: a confirmation to the customer and an alert to the owner. Live on mychallahdealer.com since September 2026.
Scope
- A Logo System, Not A Logo
- Badge, braid mark, horizontal and stacked lockups, wordmark and die-cut sticker, each in five colour variants, delivered as outlined SVG and PNG.
- The Bread Clip
- A secondary mark drawn from the plastic clip that seals grocery bread, printed with the loaf's data. It doubles as a die-cut business card that closes every bag.
- Ready For The Printer
- Die lines on their own path, Pantone and CMYK specs, minimum sizes, a rubber-stamp file for kraft bags and a six-sticker sheet ready for a kiss-cut run.
- Designed From The Kit
- The site follows the identity's own rules: Anton and Archivo, three colours plus kraft, 2px corners, hard offset shadows, supplied logo files only.
- Three Steps To Order
- Loaves and egg wash, contact details, then a printed-receipt review. A live total, the first-order offer applied on the spot, and an order number at the end.
- Two Emails Per Order
- The form posts to an n8n workflow: a row in a Google Sheet, a confirmation to the customer and an alert to the owner. No server to host, no card taken online.
Results
Five Lighthouse runs on the live site, three desktop and two phone: accessibility, best practices and SEO scored 100 on every one, with zero layout shift. A real order, MCD-0922-WN3, went from mychallahdealer.com to the sheet on the day the domain went live.
