A shop that takes money

Your products online, on a phone, with a checkout that actually works. Built around what you sell, run for you every month if you want it that way.

What this actually is

An online store is a website that can take a payment. That is the whole difference. A normal site tells people about you. A store lets someone at a bus stop at 11pm pick two things, pay for them, and get an email receipt without you touching your phone.

Under the surface there is more to it than a pretty product page. A working shop needs a cart that remembers what people picked, a checkout that does not ask for the same thing twice, card payments that clear into your bank, shipping rates that match what the courier actually charges you, tax handled correctly, stock counts that go down when something sells, and automatic emails so the customer knows their order exists. Get any of those wrong and people leave with a full basket.

I build stores two ways. On Shopify when you want to log in yourself, add products from your phone and print labels without asking anyone. Hand built when the look and the feel matter more than the admin panel, which is where the cinematic and 3D work comes in. Most people who sell physical products are better off on Shopify, and I will tell you that on the call rather than sell you the expensive version.

Who it is for

  • Instagram and TikTok sellers taking orders in DMs, chasing revolut transfers and losing track of who paid.
  • Makers and market traders who sell out at a stall on Saturday and have nowhere to send people on Monday.
  • Small brands with a supplier and no shop, sitting on stock with no way for a stranger to buy it.
  • Shops that already exist but leak people at the checkout, load slowly on a phone, or look nothing like the brand.
  • Service businesses who want to sell one or two things alongside the main work, like a product, a plan or a deposit.

Most of my work is with Irish and UK businesses, but a store does not care where you are. If you can post it, you can sell it.

What is included

  • Product pages built around your actual products, photos, options like size and colour, and descriptions written properly.
  • Cart and checkout that works on a phone first, because that is where most people will buy.
  • Payments set up and tested with a real order, so you know money lands where it should.
  • Shipping and tax configured for where you actually post to, with the rates you actually pay.
  • Order emails so the customer gets a receipt and you get a notification.
  • Your own domain connected, plus the basics so your shop shows up when someone searches your name.
  • A short walkthrough video made for your store, showing you how to add a product and find an order.
  • Hosting, updates and edits on the monthly, so nothing goes stale or breaks quietly.

What it costs

These are the real published prices. No hidden setup fee, no contract, cancel the monthly whenever you like.

How it works

A short call, about fifteen minutes

What you sell, who buys it, how you post it, and what is slowing you down right now. No pitch. If a store is the wrong move for you I will say so.

A free sample, built on your real products

Before you pay anything, I build a sample shop using your actual products and photos, so you are looking at your own shop instead of a template with someone else's coffee beans in it.

You pick a tier

You have seen the sample and the prices. You choose the level, add ons stack on top, and I put the total in writing before any work starts.

Build and test

Products loaded, payments connected, shipping rules set, then I place a real test order myself and follow it all the way through to the receipt.

Launch and handover

Domain connected, the shop goes live, and you get the walkthrough video for your own store so you are not dependent on me for small changes.

Every month after

Hosting, updates, edits and small improvements. Message me when something needs changing and it gets changed.

See it live

Real, clickable work. Open them, put something in the basket, break them if you can.

Questions people actually ask

Do I need a Shopify account, and does that cost extra?
If we build on Shopify, yes, and their monthly fee is paid directly to Shopify, separate from my price. I set the account up with you so it is in your name and on your card, never mine. Check shopify.com for their current plans, and I will walk you through which one fits on the call.
I only sell through Instagram DMs right now. Is a store worth it?
Usually yes, because DMs cap out at how many messages you can answer in an evening. A store takes the order, the payment and the address while you are asleep, and you keep posting to Instagram exactly as you do now. The store is where the link in your bio finally goes somewhere useful.
Who adds new products once it is live?
You do, on the Standard tier, and I give you a walkthrough video made on your own store so it takes a couple of minutes. If you would rather never look at the admin panel, the run it for me tier at €249 launch plus €99 a month means I add the products and handle the tech instead.
Do I own the store, or am I renting it from you?
You own it. The domain is in your name, the Shopify account is in your name, and the payment account is yours with the money going straight to your bank. The monthly is for hosting, updates and support, not for permission to keep your own shop.
How long does it take to build?
It depends almost entirely on how ready your product information is. If the photos, prices and descriptions are sitting in a folder ready to go, it moves fast. If we need to write descriptions and shoot photos first, that adds time. I give you a real date on the call once I have seen what you have.
My product photos are not great. Does that matter?
It matters more than the design does, because photos are what people are actually buying from. If yours are weak I will say so, and a product photo and video day costs €150 for a batch you can use on the store, on social and in ads.
What if I want to stop the monthly?
You cancel, with no contract and no exit fee. Your domain and your Shopify account stay yours because they were always in your name. What stops is my hosting, updates and support, so you would be running and maintaining it yourself from that point.
