The brief
Ogascounty sells faith-inspired clothing: hoodies, sweatshirts, tees and gifts, printed on demand and shipped worldwide. The shop had to look good, be easy to buy from, and run without somebody babysitting every order.
What I built
I built the store from top to bottom. The catalogue syncs in from Printify, so new designs appear on the site without anyone copying product details across by hand. Checkout runs on Stripe. When a payment goes through, a webhook picks it up and sends the order straight to Printify to be printed and shipped. Nobody has to log in and push orders along.
Customers get everything they expect from a proper store: search, categories, gift ideas, an account with order history and tracking, a wishlist and a newsletter. Shipping is included in every price, so there are no nasty surprises at checkout.
Making it sell
A store nobody can find doesn’t make money. I worked through the SEO so products show up properly in search, made every page fast and comfortable on a phone, and kept the checkout short so people have fewer reasons to give up halfway.
Keeping it running
Ogascounty is one of four live apps I moved from a hosted platform onto our own server, with automatic deploys on every push and scheduled database backups. The monthly hosting bill for those apps fell by 78%.
