How a hobby artist launched an e-commerce site with WEMASY

Selling online seems simple until you try it. Our client, who is a hobby artist, had one question from the audience: “Do you have a website where I can buy this?” But the problem was, he did not know where to begin and was stuck between expensive developers, generic templates, and confusing e-commerce setups. With WEMASY’s webshop, he set up a scalable online store all by himself.

Problem statement

The hobby artist who approached us had been creating vibrant, original paintings for years, often gifting or selling them informally to friends. But pressure grew along with this network. People wanted to buy his work directly online. But the artist has his roadblocks:

• Complex e-commerce platforms that were overloaded with settings.

• Developers and designers who were simply too expensive for a passion project.

• As a first-time seller, the biggest hesitation was online payments.

• No idea of how the shipment tracking and delivery would work.

There was a demand for the art, but no professional way to sell or deliver it.

Our solution

We understood that the client needed a safe and easy-to-use space to go and grow online. The solution was simple. We did not give them a tool. We introduced them to WEMASY’s webshop.

• He could choose a theme and design that would make his art look appealing.

• With flexible catalogue management, he could add dozens of paintings in one go, complete with descriptions and pricing.

• We activated secure, distraction-free checkout and connected the store to the payment gateways their buyers preferred.

• The shipping configuration and automated tax logic kept costs transparent and compliance effortless.

With this e-commerce site builder, the client could create a curated digital gallery that feels trustworthy, easy to manage, and built for growth.
