The brief
One person makes every candle by hand in Athens. Ready-made pieces sell on Vinted, and custom orders start with a message. The site had to make custom orders easy without pretending to be a big shop.
What I built
- A bilingual Next.js site in Greek and English, with collections, the maker's story and an FAQ.
- A custom-order builder (scent, design, colour, vessel) that ends in a message to the maker instead of a checkout.
- A bridge to Vinted for visitors who arrive from there looking for ready-made candles.
Decisions
- 01
No cart
Every custom candle is a conversation, so the flow ends in a complete brief sent to the maker rather than a payment form. That's less to build and run, and it fits how the maker actually works.
- 02
Two doors, one brand
Ready-made stock stays on Vinted, where it already sells. The site handles everything made to order and points back to Vinted for the rest.
- 03
Warm, not corporate
Lower-case headlines, a soft palette and copy written in the maker's own voice, so the site feels like the product.
