The saddest “just ship it” story (2020)

Make a website with an online builder and use their templates. For example:

- Webflow: https://webflow.com/templates

- SquareSpace: https://www.squarespace.com/templates

- Shopify: https://themes.shopify.com/

I'd recommend Shopify, and a minimalist, light theme such as the one below, since your product is made of light wood.

I already use shopify for the shop page, https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale...

But I’ve been wary of using it for the whole website since I didn’t want my whole page structure and content coupled to shopify.

And I didn’t want it all to feel like a shopify store.

But maybe that was a bad priority and I should just get over it.

Thanks for the tip with the theme, btw

Yeah, at risk of sounding brash, I do think you should "get over it" as your main priority is to sell items, not to build a well-structured website in HTML. The latter is ancillary, merely a means to an end.
