Ascenta Studio Ascenta Studio

Website design · Perfume & fragrance

Fragrance websites that sell a scent nobody can smell.

A perfume can't be sprayed through a screen, so the site has to carry it: the notes, the materials, the bottle and the story behind them. We design and build it by hand, with the checkout on your own site.

The short answer

Ascenta Studio designs, builds and hosts custom websites for perfume and fragrance brands. 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 a fragrance site has to get right.

The notes, readable in five seconds

Top, heart and base laid out so anyone can take them in at a glance. The Parfumerie concept shows bergamot and saffron on top, amber and orris at the heart, oud, vanilla and musk at the base.

The bottle as the hero

Big, sharp images of the flacon, the cap and the glass. On a fragrance site the bottle does the job a model does on a fashion site.

Collections that don't turn into a catalog

Several scents, several sizes, discovery sets and samples, each with its own page and stock, without the store looking like a warehouse list.

Atmosphere that still loads fast

Mood and motion that don't cost the visitor who tapped your link from a Reel. A heavy page loses them before the bottle shows up.

A checkout that feels like the brand

The bag, delivery and payment keep your look to the last step, and payments go straight to your Stripe account. There's a demo checkout below.

Launches you don't have to build

A new scent, a limited edition, a restock: you send it, we put it up. It's part of the monthly fee, not a new project.

03Price

Two prices. Published, not quoted.

Website with online store

$1,500

USD to launch, then $300 USD/month

It's your own store: product pages, bag, delivery and payment, all on your site.

  • Design and build of every page, on desktop and phone
  • Hosting and domain, set up, secured and maintained
  • Monthly changes: new products, photos, prices and copy
  • Month to month, cancel any time
  • Fixed buyout: $6,000, published from day one

Website, no online store

$500

USD to launch, then $100 USD/month

It's a site of your own without checkout: who you are, what you offer and how to reach or book you. Anything you sell elsewhere is one tap away.

You'll get the contract and invoice from La Factoria LLC, a company registered in Delaware, USA.

05Questions

What founders ask first.

How much does a website for a perfume or fragrance brand 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.

Can I sell discovery sets and samples?

Yes. Sets, samples and several sizes of the same scent are normal products in the store, each with its own price and stock.

Can I see a checkout working before I decide?

Yes. The Parfumerie concept has a demo checkout: a full order from the bag to the payment, on a store we designed and built. No card is charged.

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.
