Ascenta Studio Ascenta Studio

Website design · Online stores

A custom online store at a price a small brand can plan for.

One price to launch, one price a month, and a store that's yours in look and in money: payments go straight to your account. We design and build it by hand, from the product page to the payment.

The short answer

Ascenta Studio designs, builds and hosts custom websites for small product brands that sell online. With an online store it's $1,500 to launch and $300 a month; without a store it's $500 and $100 a month. Hosting, the domain, security and monthly changes are included, and your site is live in under 48 hours once we have your material.

01The work

Live builds you can open right now.

Every build here is a concept brand we designed and built end to end, so no real company's products are used as a sample. The sites aren't mockups: they're live, and it's the same standard we ship. Open them on your phone.

02What it takes

What comes with every store.

Product pages that sell

Big photos, options, stock and the details a buyer checks before paying. Each product gets the page it deserves, not a row in a grid.

Bag, delivery and payment in your look

Most stores look custom until the cart, then drop into the same grey checkout as everyone else. Ours keep your look to the last step.

Stripe or Shopify

Payments run on Stripe and the money goes straight to your account. Already on Shopify? The site connects to it and Shopify keeps handling checkout.

Changes every month

New products, prices, photos and copy: you send them, we put them up. No dashboard to learn and no plugin updates to babysit.

Fast on a phone

Hand-written code, no page builder and no stack of apps slowing the page down. Most of your buyers will see it on a phone first.

No lock-in

Month to month, cancel any time. The buyout is $6,000, published from day one, so leaving is never a surprise.

05Questions

What founders ask first.

How much does a website for a small brand's online store cost?

$1,500 to launch and $300 a month with an online store. If you sell somewhere else and only need the site, it's $500 and $100 a month. Hosting, the domain, security, backups and monthly changes are included in both, and if you ever want to own the site outright the buyout is $6,000, published from day one.

Do you take a cut of my sales?

No. Payments run on Stripe and the money goes straight to your account. Stripe charges its own card fee on each order; we don't add anything on top.

I already have a store. Can you redesign it?

Yes. We build the new site alongside the current one and only point your domain at it when you say so, so your store never goes dark.

I already sell on Shopify. Do I have to leave it?

No. If you want your orders, stock and customers to stay in Shopify, the new site connects to it and Shopify keeps handling checkout. If you'd rather not pay for Shopify, the store runs on Stripe instead and the money goes straight to your account.

How long until the site is live?

Under 48 hours from when we have your material: logo, product photos and anything you want said. You review the site before it's public, and it only goes live on your domain once you approve it.
