All trades

A web system for retail and online selling.

Selling through messages works while the orders are few. Once there are more, you lose track of what is paid, what is shipped and what is even in stock.

Every preview is a concept I built to show how the system works. They are not results from real clients and the data in them is invented. The real projects are on the projects page, and it says there whose they are.

What breaks

Three things that keep repeating here.

  • Orders live in messages

    Instagram, Viber and the phone, with stock kept in your head. An order that arrives on the third channel mid shift has nowhere to be written down, and turns up only when the customer asks where it is.

  • The buyer cannot finish on their own

    Every question about size, delivery or price needs a live answer, so you only sell while someone is on the phone. A catalogue with prices and delivery sells at night too.

  • You cannot see what actually sells

    You know what came in overall, but not which item carries the margin and which just takes up space. Without that, you restock on instinct.

What goes into the system

The parts this trade actually uses.

Not every module suits everyone. These are the ones that pay off in this trade, and what each of them does.

  • Preview ready

    A site that brings enquiries

    A page per service instead of one page for everything, with a clear route to a call or a form. This is the base and it is often enough on its own.

    • A page per service and per location, written for what people actually type
    • A form and a phone number wherever the visitor decides to get in touch
    • Measurement of where the enquiry came from, without Google Analytics
  • Preview ready

    Shop

    Catalogue, cart and payment. It makes sense when you sell something that can be shipped, not when every job is agreed on site.

    • A catalogue with filters and a product page
    • Cart, delivery and payment, with a choice of payment method
    • Orders, customers and sales analytics in the panel
  • Preview ready

    Admin panel

    What you see behind the site: enquiries, sources, orders and figures in one place, in the language of your business rather than of a tool.

    • Enquiries with a status and a source, instead of searching your inbox
    • Revenue, earnings and clicks in the same view
    • Roles, so everyone sees only what they need
