An AI Website Builder for Home Bakers and Cottage Food Businesses
Cottage food laws are the reason a home baker's website needs to be a little more careful than a restaurant's or a food truck's. Most places allow selling homemade food directly to consumers without a commercial kitchen or restaurant license, but only under specific rules, what you're allowed to sell, how it has to be labeled, how much you can earn before different rules kick in, and those rules vary by state and sometimes by city or county. That's worth knowing before you publish anything, not after.
Describing your business to Nova, for example "a website for a home bakery specializing in custom cakes and cookies, with our menu, how to order, and our story," produces a site structured around that description, with a live preview before you publish to a free getnova.pro subdomain, no account needed to build or look at what it generates. Because the menu and story sections reflect your actual baking rather than a generic bakery template, the draft starts closer to something a customer would actually use to decide what to order.
Here's the part worth being direct about: Nova builds the site itself, but it doesn't know your local cottage food regulations, and it won't generate the specific disclosure language many jurisdictions require, something like "this product was made in a home kitchen not inspected by a health department," on its own. Check your state's cottage food rules and include any required disclosure accurately before publishing, the same way you would regardless of which tool built the site. Nova also doesn't process orders or payments, most home bakers take orders through a simple form or direct message and collect payment separately, and you'd link to however you actually handle that from the site.
FAQ
No, those vary by state and sometimes by locality, and Nova doesn't check or generate that disclosure language automatically; confirm your specific requirements and include them accurately yourself.
Yes, describe how you want to handle orders, a contact form, a specific lead time, whatever fits your process, and Nova will build the site around that instead of a generic "order now" button with no real process behind it.
Yes, you can list starting prices for standard items and note that custom orders are quoted separately, so customers have a sense of cost without you having to price every possible variation in advance.
