A skincare founder messaged us last month, already selling on Instagram DMs, asking whether she needed a "real website" or could just keep going that way. Fair question. Here's the honest answer from our side in Rohini.

Yes — a proper website changes how a D2C brand is trusted and how it scales. No — it doesn't mean rebuilding what Instagram already does. It means a store that takes payment directly, shows stock accurately, and doesn't lose a sale because someone had to DM and wait for a reply.

If you're not selling physical stock and just need a presence online, this isn't your brief — see our AI website note instead.

The platform sells the product. We make people trust the brand.

How a build actually moves, step by step

Catalog in

You send products, pricing, and any brand guidelines you already have — no six-week back and forth needed.

Journey mapped

We scope pages around how your specific customer actually buys, not a generic template flow.

Store + styling

Cart, checkout, and payment gateway handled by the platform; we style it so it looks like your brand, not a demo.

Test order, then live

Checkout tested end to end with a real payment before anyone else sees it.

What ₹25,000 covers

  • Home, shop/collection page, product pages, cart, checkout
  • Payment gateway setup — UPI, cards, wallets
  • Basic inventory and order tracking
  • A path to Get a Quote
  • Custom subscription/loyalty logic beyond the platform default
  • Running Google Ads or Meta ads for you
  • Original product photography or videography
  • ERP-level warehouse or multi-location inventory

Domain, hosting, and gateway transaction fees sit outside this number — those go directly to the platform, and we'll tell you what to expect before anyone pays.

Who this is actually for

This fits D2C brands already selling somewhere — Instagram, WhatsApp, a marketplace — who are ready to own their own storefront instead of renting attention on someone else's platform. We work with brands across Delhi NCR — Rohini, Gurugram, Noida.

Questions we get before anyone pays

Is ₹25,000 the final invoice number?

It's the base for the design-and-build as scoped. Payment gateway fees, hosting, domain, and extra pages beyond what's agreed sit outside unless we write them in first.

Can I migrate my existing Instagram catalog in?

Yes — send us your current product list, prices, and photos, and we build the catalog into the new store rather than starting from a blank slate.

Will this rank on Google for my product keywords?

A well-built store gives you the foundation — clean URLs, proper titles. For it to actually rank, pair it with our on-page SEO service.

Start with a simple AI website instead — no store needed until you have stock to sell.
