Where it starts
VAT excluded
The exact price depends on the scale of the project (pages, languages, integrations). For a typical furniture and design business, our dedicated package is the simplest route.
Consumer Code for B2C sales: 14-day withdrawal (complicated for custom products, exclusion under art. 59 letter c). Mandatory CE marking and RoHS compliance. For bathroom/kitchen furniture with appliances: compliance with EU directives. GDPR for B2B accounts and design newsletters. For EU sales: OSS VAT.
Frequently asked questions
e-commerce for a furniture and design: how long does a project typically take?
It depends on the scale, but for most cases we're talking about 2-4 weeks from sign-off to going live, content included. For complex cases (many languages, integrations with industry software) it can take 6-8 weeks.
Can I start even if I don't have all my content (text, photos) ready?
Yes. We offer copy support and image selection as a separate package, or we proceed with placeholders and swap them in along the way. The important thing is to nail the positioning before the design phase.
Can I update the site on my own after delivery?
Yes. We deliver with a simple editorial panel (organised by content type) and 2 hours of training included. For structural changes (new sections, new templates) we step in.
Does the site comply with furniture and design industry regulations?
Yes. For this industry we take into account: Consumer Code for B2C sales: 14-day withdrawal (complicated for custom products, exclusion under art. 59 letter c). Mandatory CE marking and RoHS compliance. For bathroom/kitchen furniture with appliances: compliance with EU directives. GDPR for B2B accounts and design newsletters. For EU sales: OSS VAT. We always start from compliance, we don't add it afterwards.
Why does a furniture and design project cost more than a generic site?
The furniture and design industry requires specific features, regulatory compliance and an architecture that works for its audience. What's optional on a generic site is included by default here — and it's cheaper to do it right from the start than to fix it later.
Which e-commerce platform is best to choose?
It depends on the number of products, operational complexity and budget. Shopify is quick to launch and ideal up to 500 products, WooCommerce offers more flexibility if you already use WordPress, Magento scales better with very large catalogues and B2B. We'll assess the right solution together in the quote.
How long does it take to get an e-commerce store online?
With Shop Base (up to 50 products) around 14-18 working days, with Shop Pro 21-28 days; for Enterprise quotes it depends on the complexity of the integrations. Timelines start once we receive your copy, photos and product list.
Are domain and hosting included?
The first year of hosting is always included. The domain is registered in your name with a separate annual cost. After the first year we offer dedicated hosting plans or management on the chosen platform (e.g. Shopify Plus).
Can I manage products on my own after delivery?
Yes, all our e-commerce stores are delivered with full admin access and a training session on using the dashboard. We also offer monthly maintenance plans for those who prefer to delegate.
