I spent 3–4 months building a full-stack ecommerce platform. Next.js and Supabase, custom admin dashboard, Paystack payouts, CMS, auth. All of it.
Then I stopped.
Almost all of that time went into the backend and the admin side. The storefront, the part anyone actually sees, and the part I care about got whatever was left over.
The problem was never difficulty. It was scope. I hadn't decided up front whether I was prepared to give yea:rs to it, and I wasn't.
So I cut it down to the one piece I actually wanted. Shopify already handles inventory, variants, carts, discounts and checkout, there was no reason to rebuild any of that. What didn't exist was a way to design the storefront in Framer without a plugin deciding how it looks.
A week to a working MVP. A month to the marketplace.
Three to four months on the version nobody saw. One week on the version people use.

Option A commands immediate attention for high-impact visual campaigns, but Option B feels much more aligned with luxury e commerce. A subtle, warmer tone creates a refined, high end look that keeps the product front and center without overwhelming the interface.

Nice translation of the avocado-oil branding into the PDP. Since this is a consumable people reorder on a cycle, is there a subscribe-and-save or reorder-reminder flow built in, or is the launch scope first-purchase-only for now? That's usually where the real revenue sits on a...
