The problem
Handmade resin and epoxy art doesn’t fit a generic marketplace. Each piece is poured, set, and finished by hand — meaning each piece is one-of-a-kind, never the same twice. A category-template listing flattens that distinction; the photos compete with thousands of mass-produced lookalikes; and the platform takes its cut anyway.
What we built
A custom storefront for Lornix Creations built around the one fact the shop’s catalog rests on: nothing is made twice. The catalog browses by piece type — roses, skulls, skull cups, trinket boxes, fluid-art trays, coasters — with hi-res galleries that show what each piece actually looks like, not what a template suggests it might.
The “Read about the makers” thread runs through the site because the makers are the product as much as the resin is. The shop runs on Laravel with a media pipeline tuned for high-quality image work; updates to the catalog ship the same day.
How we shipped it
Phase 1 — the storefront, the catalog, the per-piece pages, the media pipeline — is live. Owned code, owned infrastructure, no marketplace fees per sale. Phase 2 (newsletter, order workflow polish) ships next.
Outcome
Lornix Creations sells from its own front door. The pieces look like the pieces, not like a marketplace listing with a watermark. The shop pays the platform nothing per sale, because the platform is theirs.
