A Swiss storefront, solo, in one month
A Bali craft brand selling into Switzerland needed a store that could take payments from day one. I built it alone, brief to live, in one month.
1month, 1 dev
Brief to live, one developer, across time zones.
01 · The problem
Swiss buyers, payments that had to work at launch, one developer and a time-zone gap.
02 · Constraints
One month, and the client had to edit content without a developer.
03 · What I did
Theme 2.0 over headless
Sections the client edits themselves, and no custom front end to maintain on a one-month clock.
Payments from day one
Stripe, on the account the client already had, wired in from the first build.
Async demos in English
Recorded walkthroughs and preview links instead of live calls. Feedback came back in chat.
04 · Result
- 1 monthbrief to live, one developer
05 · What I’d do differently
Go async from week one. I only moved to recorded demos and preview links after the time-zone gap started to slow feedback.
