From a single truck to a growing brand.
When El Taquero first reached out, they were serving at Colima Market with plans to open a second truck but needed a professional website to represent their food. They were already using Square for orders and DoorDash for delivery, but wanted a simple, modern web presence that connected both.
The challenge: build something bold, fast, and scalable — without full e-commerce.
Built for simplicity. Designed to scale.
Thorne Design Studio created a custom Webflow site focused on authentic visuals and effortless usability.
- Connected existing Square and DoorDash links to streamline ordering within their current setup.
- Highlighted original food photography and brand story.
- Linked press features from Bend Source and Bend Magazine for local authority.
- When the second truck opened at On Tap, the site was quickly updated—proving the flexible system worked.
From first launch to lasting momentum.
