Custom Ecommerce Websites Built To Sell

Selling online shouldn't mean settling for a slow, template-heavy store loaded with apps you don't need. I build custom ecommerce sites by hand, so your shop loads fast, stays secure, and gives customers a smooth path from browsing to checkout.

You get the polish and performance of a hand-coded website, plus a simple way to manage your products yourself. No bulky dashboards, no plugin sprawl, no bloat.

How My Ecommerce Setup Works

My preferred setup pairs Snipcart, a lightweight and trusted shopping cart, with a custom CMS I build specifically for your products. Snipcart handles the cart and secure checkout while the custom CMS lets you add, edit, and remove products right on your own site.

The result is a store that stays fast and fully integrated with the rest of your design, instead of a heavy platform dictating how your site looks and behaves.

Why Not Shopify Or WooCommerce?

Those platforms work, but they come with trade-offs. Shopify locks you into monthly fees and its own ecosystem, while WooCommerce runs on WordPress and inherits all the speed and security headaches that come with it.

A custom Snipcart build gives you full control over how your store looks and performs, with none of the platform bloat. You're not renting a storefront; you're getting one built for your business.

What's Included In An Ecommerce Build

  • A custom-designed, hand-coded storefront built around your brand.
  • Snipcart integration for a secure, reliable cart and checkout.
  • A custom CMS built specifically for managing your products.
  • An order management dashboard through Snipcart for fulfillment.
  • Unlimited CMS collections so your catalog can grow with you.
  • The same fast load times, SEO, and security as every Skyline site.

Payments, Taxes, And Shipping

Snipcart supports secure online payments through processors like Stripe and PayPal, and it can handle tax and shipping calculations for you. I'll connect your payment processor and set up the tax and shipping details you provide.

One honest note: you're responsible for making sure your tax and shipping figures are accurate, and I'll confirm all of it with you again before launch so nothing slips through.

Managing Your Store

The custom CMS I build is simple and intuitive, and most clients get the hang of it without any help. If you'd like a walkthrough, I'll provide one-on-one training so you're fully comfortable adding products, managing inventory, and fulfilling orders.

For smaller shops, I may add your initial products as part of the setup. Larger catalogs are handled case by case, and I'll always lay out exactly what's involved before we begin.

A Quick Word On Ecommerce Costs

Ecommerce has a few moving parts, and I believe in being upfront about all of them. Snipcart charges its own monthly platform fee paid directly to them, and your payment processor takes its standard cut. My plan covers the design, custom CMS, and setup.

I'll outline every cost clearly before anything starts, so there are no surprises. You can see how ecommerce fits alongside my other plans on the pricing page.
