Mutiara Aqiqah Kendari offers a full range of aqiqah services, but their service list and pricing used to be available only by phone or in-person visit. So this project built a company profile on Blogger with a custom-coded theme, giving prospective customers a way to compare packages and order directly through WhatsApp.

The tools and technologies that came together to bring this project to life.
Each project draws on a mix of disciplines, here's how they came together on this one.
A closer look at what the finished product offers, the obstacles along the way, and what came out of it.
Building a Custom Blogger Theme From Scratch
Blogger doesn't support component libraries like typical web frameworks, so the entire theme was hand-coded in XML using Blogger's templating tags to get full design control.
Building the Pre-Filled WhatsApp Order Flow
Each package needed to generate a WhatsApp link pre-filled with the selected product and portion details, built with JavaScript to dynamically construct the message.
How this project changed things for the business and its users after launch.
Zero hosting costs
Images under 200KB
Transparent service info
Pre-filled order messages
3 targeted local keywords
Clear package specifications
Before
A typical WordPress or custom-hosted website would mean ongoing hosting fees for a small local business.
After
Building on Blogger with a custom-coded theme delivers a fully custom design at zero hosting cost.
Before
High-resolution images across the site, not just one section, risked slowing down every page.
After
Every image across the site is compressed to WebP and kept under 200KB, keeping pages fast without a visible drop in quality.
Before
Prospective customers had to call or visit in person just to learn service details and pricing.
After
All services and price ranges can now be viewed directly on the website before reaching out.
Before
Customers had to type out their order details manually when messaging on WhatsApp, and staff had to ask clarifying questions.
After
Each package generates a pre-filled WhatsApp message with the exact product and portion selected, reducing back-and-forth for both customers and staff.
Before
The business had no presence in Google's local search or Maps results, and no dedicated SEO for aqiqah-related searches.
After
A Google My Business listing plus SEO targeting keywords like "aqiqah kendari," "jasa aqiqah kendari," and "katering aqiqah kendari" gives the business visibility for local searches.
Before
Without clear package specifications, customers could order the wrong portion size or miss what was included.
After
Each package page lists full specifications and portion options upfront, reducing mismatched orders.
