E-Commerce Websites
for Brands Ready to Own It

Moving off a marketplace means getting your own e-commerce website where customers buy directly from you — no platform fees, no competing listings. Deadwood Digital builds the full store (product pages, cart, checkout, inventory) on infrastructure you own, then helps you point customers there from your marketplace profile, social bio, or packaging inserts. Custom e-commerce builds start at $2,500. You keep your existing marketplace shops running during the transition if you want.

Marketplaces take 6–15% of every sale plus listing and payment fees, they own your customer list, and they can suspend your account with no warning. Your own store keeps the fees, builds an email list you control, lets you build a real brand instead of being one listing among thousands, and can never be shut down by a policy change. The marketplace is great for discovery — your own store is where you actually own the business.

Absolutely, and most sellers do at first. The marketplace keeps bringing in new customers through its search, while your own store captures repeat buyers, higher-margin sales, and your email list. Over time, many sellers shift their best customers to their own store to avoid the fees. Your website and your marketplace shops can run side by side indefinitely.

Yes — pre-launch is the best time to build. Starting with your own store from day one means you never have to migrate later, you own your customer relationships from the first sale, and you look established the moment you go live. Brand-and-storefront builds start at $750 for a template and $1,000 for a fully custom single-page launch site.

Those platforms charge monthly fees ($25–$300/month) and some take a cut of every sale. A site built by Deadwood Digital is a one-time fee — you own the code, there are no recurring platform fees, and you're not locked into anyone's ecosystem. The tradeoff is fewer drag-and-drop features, but for most sellers a custom build covers everything they actually need at a far lower long-term cost.

Template sites run $300 (single page), $750 (3–5 pages), and $1,500 (7–10 pages). Custom builds run $1,000 (single page), $2,500 (3–5 pages with e-commerce), and $5,000 (7–10 pages with a full e-commerce suite). E-commerce capability is included in all custom builds from the $2,500 Staple tier up. Every price is flat and listed on the site — no hidden fees.

The Custom Staple ($2,500) and Signature ($5,000) include product pages, a shopping cart, checkout, and inventory management. Signature adds a full suite: product management, order tracking, and optional customer accounts. The backend runs on Supabase and payments go through PayPal or Stripe — so there are no monthly platform fees like you'd pay on Shopify.

Yes. Deadwood Digital is based in Trenton, Missouri but works with brands and sellers anywhere in the United States, fully remotely. All communication happens through email and the contact form — no in-person meeting required.

Your marketplace reviews stay on that marketplace, so most sellers keep their marketplace shop active even after launching their own store — at least at first. On your own store you start building reviews fresh, but you also own them permanently. A common approach is featuring screenshots of your best marketplace reviews on your new site to carry that trust over.

Vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no bloated frameworks or page builders. E-commerce backends run on Supabase, payments through PayPal or Stripe, and transactional email through Resend. Sites deploy to GitHub Pages, Vercel, or Netlify. The result is fast, lightweight, and low-maintenance, with no monthly platform fees.

A single-page site takes 1–3 days. A 3–5 page site takes 3–6 days. Full custom e-commerce builds take 1–4 weeks depending on the size of your catalog and how quickly you provide product info and photos. Rush delivery is available at 1.2× the project price if you need it sooner.

Yes. Every build ships with clean, search-friendly code, proper page titles, meta descriptions, and structured data. Beyond that, Setup & Launch services cover Google Analytics, Search Console and sitemap submission, and on-page SEO — all flat-rate add-ons that help your store show up when people search for what you sell.
