e-shop design + development
Lasher’s online store offers professional eyelash extensions products and accessories. The e-shop has been designed with user-friendliness and an elegant, minimalist design in mind. I optimised the UX/UI based on user experience principles, created product filtering and categories to suit the needs of lash technicians, and integrated payment systems and delivery options to provide a seamless and convenient shopping experience. The result is a stylish and efficient online environment that reflects Lasher’s identity as a high-quality, professional brand.

e-shop design + development
LineaShop’s e-shop got a unique and user-friendly design that reflects the brand’s values and product range. As part of the project, I integrated the e-shop with email and tracking automation to support marketing and order tracking. In addition, I designed bespoke category and product page layouts to provide a seamless shopping experience for shoppers. The result is a visually appealing and functional online environment that will help LineaShop increase sales and strengthen its brand image.
visual identity + e-shop design & development
When we created the NAUT-E chocolates e-shop, we knew that its design had to reflect the sensual, playful and elegant impact of chocolate. NAUT-E is a more distinctive e-shop, without the classic shopping cart and category pages. As a special solution, I developed a checkout page where you can modify the quantity of the product and display the product’s variable price.

FAQs for making an e-shop
Which platform do you use to create your e-shop?
I use WordPress + Woocommerce solution to create my e-shop. It’s a flexible platform, free of monthly fees, which is suitable for almost any project. Read more about the comparison of e-commerce platforms here.
What and how should you prepare before the consultation?
You don’t need to prepare anything for the first 20-minute speech. Once we move on from there we will do the next more in-depth consultation. For this talk, it’s a good idea to think about what you want from your new website and what the purpose of the website is. For example, the purpose could be to make an enquiry or book a call. You can also save links to websites that you like. If you have a logo or other visuals, it’s a good idea to look them up. During the consultation, we will discuss the structure, the visual direction and the content you want to include on your website.
How much input do you expect from me?
I’m looking for images, service descriptions and a description of you or your business to use on the website. In the case of an e-shop, I also expect product descriptions with name and price. The amount of input will depend on the amount of information you want to include on your website. I will help you to adjust the wording of the input if necessary and make it more web-friendly. You don’t need to worry about the front page and other smaller content, I will write it myself. If you feel that writing isn’t for you at all, I’ll also help you write all the content for an additional fee.
Can I have your input to respond to?
After the consultation, I will send you an input document with the information you need to set up your e-shop. Once you’ve sent me the input, we can get started with the e-shop.
What is my time commitment in the process of setting up an e-shop?
Your input is needed at the start of the project and when we review the final result. It is difficult to estimate the time involved as it depends on the size of your e-shop. On average, it takes 5-10 weeks to set up an e-shop, depending on the complexity of the project and the speed of cooperation.
I will add the first 10-15 products in my e-shop, then I will give you instructions on how to add products to your e-shop.
How long will it take to complete the e-shop?
The average website takes 5-10 weeks to complete. A simple e-shop usually takes 4-5 weeks. An e-shop with a more complex structure and additional functionalities may take longer. Usually no longer than 3 months.
How much does it cost to set up an online shop?
The price for making an e-shop starts from 2000€ when ordering from me. Classic e-shops fall within this price range. If you would like to add extra functionality to your e-shop, e.g. a booking system or if it is a large project with many categories, a setup fee will be added. In general, an e-shop should not cost more than €4000. See sample pricing packages click here. For a personalised quote, please send us a quote request.
Can you also help with content creation?
If you feel you’re still not a great writer, I’d be happy to help you write content. When requesting a quote, please let me know that you expect me to help you with the content as well. That way I can anticipate this in advance.
Can I manage and update the e-shop myself later?
Saad! We’ll create an e-shop on the Woocommerce platform, allowing you to add and edit content yourself. In the final talk after the project is finished, I’ll explain where and how you can edit your own website.
How much does it cost to manage an e-shop once it is up and running?
There are two options for managing your e-shop. If you want to do it yourself, there are no extra costs for you. If you feel that you don’t want to continue managing the site yourself, the website management service costs €70 per month. When managing your e-shop, I will visit your shop at the beginning of each week to back up, update and test functionality. This way you can be sure that your shop is up and running all the time.
