Ascenta Studio Ascenta Studio

Website design · Skincare brands

Skincare websites that sell what a screen can't touch.

Nobody can feel a cream through a phone, so the site has to do it for you: the texture, the ingredients and a reason to trust you. We design and build it by hand, with the store and checkout on your own site.

The short answer

Ascenta Studio designs, builds and hosts custom websites for skincare and beauty 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 skincare site has to get right.

Texture you can almost feel

Close product shots and short loops of the cream, the pump, the jar opening. It's the part of a beauty counter a screen usually loses, and it's where most skincare sites go flat.

Ingredients people can check

The full ingredient list on every product, with the key actives explained in plain words. Shoppers look for it, and hiding it reads like there's something to hide.

Claims that stay cosmetic

Pivoine says "smoother-looking skin", not "repairs your skin". Product copy on your site is worded the same careful way, and the final claims are always yours to approve.

Routines, not only products

A set or a routine page (cleanse, treat, moisturize) sells three products where a grid sells one. Pivoine groups four pieces into one ritual.

A checkout that still looks like you

The bag, delivery and payment keep your look all the way through. Payments run on Stripe, and the money goes straight to your account.

Fast on a phone

Most skincare shoppers tap through from Instagram or TikTok, on a phone, often on a bad signal. Hand-written code keeps the page light, so they see the product instead of a spinner.

Two prices. Published, not quoted.

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

  • Hosting and domain, set up, secured and maintained
  • Monthly changes: new products, photos, prices and copy
  • Month to month, cancel any time

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 skincare 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 you show full ingredient lists and routines?

Yes. Ingredient lists, key actives, how-to-use steps, sets and routines are all normal parts of a skincare store we build, each product with its own price and stock.

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.

Do I need professional photos first?

It helps, but it's not a blocker. Send what you have and we'll work with it. Swapping in new photos later is part of the monthly changes, so you can upgrade them any month.

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.
