Overview / 01
CoTo Prints needed the warmth of a small maker business with the capabilities of a modern store. The site supports both catalog products and the less predictable process of requesting something custom.
The challenge / 02
Start with the real problem.
Traditional storefronts handle fixed products well, but custom printing involves files, conversations, quotes, fulfillment decisions, and customer follow-up. The experience needed to support both paths without feeling fragmented.
The build / 03
Shape the system around it.
I built a unified storefront with product browsing, cart and checkout, customer accounts, custom requests, order history, rewards, and a secured administration area for the team managing the shop.
Selected work / 04
What I built.
Four parts of the project that show the thinking behind the finished experience.
Custom storefront
A responsive catalog and purchasing flow shaped around the brand instead of an off-the-shelf theme.
Square payments
Secure checkout, webhook handling, refunds, and order state stay synchronized with the payment provider.
Customer accounts
Accounts bring together orders, addresses, custom requests, preferences, and a loyalty experience.
Shop administration
Products, categories, customers, orders, fulfillment, newsletters, and security tools are managed in one place.
