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.

Stack

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

  1. Theme 2.0 over headless

    Sections the client edits themselves, and no custom front end to maintain on a one-month clock.

  2. Payments from day one

    Stripe, on the account the client already had, wired in from the first build.

  3. Async demos in English

    Recorded walkthroughs and preview links instead of live calls. Feedback came back in chat.

04 · Result

  • 1 month
    brief 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.
