CASE STUDY

Offer workshops and sell handmade products online via a webshop

Take a look at what we did for Pottenbakkenvlaaien

THE CHALLENGE

Truus is a ceramic artist and workshop host. She needed a site that radiates the same warmth and personal feel as she does, for both her studio and her workshops. She wanted to organize workshops that participants can register and pay for online.

WHAT WE DID

The website combines a webshop for handmade ceramics with a workshop calendar where you can reserve your spot online. The tone is cheerful and personal — Truus and pottery take center stage, not a brand. Visitors can sign up and pay right away so their spot is secured.

Frequently asked questions.

Having a small Shopify webshop built means you get a professionally set up online store on the Shopify platform, which we customize and style for you.
It means you provide your products with descriptions, photos and prices, and set up essential functionalities such as a payment system (such as Mollie or PayPal), shipping options and tax settings. Don’t panic, we’ll help you with all of those steps.

Depending on your wishes, extra apps or integrations can also be added, such as a newsletter. The end result is a ready-to-use webshop that you can easily manage yourself, without needing technical knowledge — Moonbeetle typically also provides a short explanation so you can independently add products and process orders.

Good preparation and consistently formatted data
Make sure you can supply all product data in a consistent and structured way. So all product categories and subcategories listed in Excel. All product data (Title, SKU, price, color, size, packaging format, short description) neatly as rows in Excel or CSV. Moonbeetle can provide sample documents so you can supply your Excel or CSV in the best possible way. Proofread texts thoroughly so you don’t have to correct them afterwards and so that translation can also run more smoothly.

Special attention to images
For each product, good photos or packshots in the optimal format for the e-commerce platform. Moonbeetle provides the technical specifications in advance that images must meet. Image processing, especially with a large number of products, can be very time-consuming. You may need to engage a photographer or AI. We are thinking, for example, of complex situations where you need a light-colored product on a white background, preferably the same for all products.

Exceptions
By default, e-commerce platforms have the following flow: a visitor browses the product offering, chooses a product and adds it to the shopping cart, possibly adjusts the quantity, and checks out. Exceptions to that flow may mean that we need to provide or develop a custom solution.

Yes. We build every webshop on an e-commerce platform so that you can easily update products, product variants, texts, photos, stock levels, prices, packaging, etc. yourself.

An average project is completed in 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how quickly we receive the content and photos, and above all: how well the material is delivered. Final product lists, consistently formatted Excel or CSV product data, and good imagery, in other words.
