The problem.
She sold on Instagram and closed every order on WhatsApp.
Since everything is handmade and made to order, she didn't need to take payments online: she needed the order to reach her complete, with every piece and the total.
The timeline.
From day one to today.
- Done. Day 1Both brands go online.
- Done. Day 4Categories become editable from her dashboard.
- You are here. Day 92
Today,
49 products with photos, added by her: 26 at Astera and 23 at Arcania.
Dates from the project records.
What we built.
- A bag that gets sent on WhatsAppThe customer picks pieces, sees the total and the order goes out as a WhatsApp message. No online payment and no gateway fee.
- A dashboard so she can add everythingProducts, photos, prices, categories and contact details, whenever she wants.
- In Spanish and in EnglishA button in the dashboard fills in the English with AI.
- The second brand, on the same baseVelas Arcania is the same catalog with a different color palette and its own dashboard.
What it's built with and how you take it with youTo share with your tech advisor: the tech stack, where it's hosted and how you take everything with you if you switch providers.
The catalogs are built in React with TypeScript, on top of an API in .NET, and they're hosted on Azure. They don't use a database: each catalog is a file stored in the cloud, which makes them cheap to maintain.
An AI fills in the English from the dashboard, with one button. There's no payment gateway: the sale is closed on WhatsApp.
What's yours stays in your name: the code, the domain and the accounts. If you switch providers, you take all of it with you and another developer can pick it up.
What changed.
Today the order reaches her written out, with every piece and the total.
She uploads products and photos whenever she wants, for both brands. And she closes the sale on WhatsApp, as always, without paying a gateway fee.

She adds it all.
Every product, with its photo, its price and its category, from each brand's dashboard.

If we're late, we take 10% off the price for every week.
What we need from you goes on a list with dates. If we fall 2 weeks behind the signed date, you choose: we keep going with the discount, or we stop, refund what you paid (if you paid 100%, half of it) and you keep what's done.
