Daniel Salvador — Professional Chef WordPress Site

Portfolio, blog, and catering enquiries for a Barcelona chef

Daniel Salvador is a professional chef from Barcelona with a background in gourmet cooking and catering. He needed a website that would serve as both a portfolio of his professional work and an active content platform — a place to publish recipes and upcoming events while giving potential catering clients a way to get in touch. He also wanted the flexibility to run the site himself, adding content between jobs without needing technical help.

The Challenge

A sole-trader chef has different website needs to a restaurant or food brand — the site is personal as much as professional, and it needs to do several things at once: build credibility with event clients, engage food enthusiasts with content, and remain easy to update between jobs. Getting the balance right — professional enough to win catering work, warm enough to attract a food audience — required a theme and structure chosen with that dual purpose in mind.

Daniel also needed total control of his content. He publishes recipes regularly, updates event listings, and wanted to do this himself — not wait for a developer every time something changed.

What We Built

We built a WordPress site combining portfolio, blog, and brochure functionality:

• Recipes section allowing Daniel to publish and update content himself, with categories and search so visitors could find dishes by ingredient or occasion
• Events listing for upcoming cooking demonstrations, workshops, and catering dates
• Service pages presenting Daniel's catering and professional cooking offer to prospective clients
• Contact form for catering enquiries with appropriate fields for event scope and date
• Responsive design optimised for food content — clean layouts that let the photography lead on any screen size
• CMS training covering content publishing, recipe management, and event listings so Daniel could manage everything independently from launch

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one WordPress site handle both a chef portfolio and a recipes blog?

Yes. WordPress was built for content publishing — recipes, events, and portfolio work all fit naturally into its content model. A well-structured theme lets you separate professional content from personal blog posts without the site feeling disjointed.

How do you build a website that a sole trader can manage without technical help?

WordPress is the right tool for this. The CMS is straightforward enough for a non-technical user to manage daily content — posts, images, event dates — without developer involvement. We provide training specific to each site so the client leaves with confidence, not just a login.

Can an online shop be added to a WordPress site later?

Yes. WordPress supports WooCommerce — so if a client decides to sell cooking classes, recipe books, or event tickets, that can be added to the existing site without a rebuild.
