The Studio

Headless commerce that looks like your brand— not everyone else’s store.

Whittier Web Design builds headless storefronts on the modern stack: a custom Next.js front end, a Sanity CMS your team actually edits, and Stripe checkout underneath. No theme a thousand other shops are using, no stack of monthly apps slowing your pages down. We also build fast custom websites, SEO & AI search optimization, and digital marketing for small businesses — every page built to turn visitors into orders, calls, and customers.

Featured Project · No. 01

The Woodster Shop

A custom storefront and back office, built as one system — not a theme with a pile of apps.

thewoodstershop.com ↗Design, build & ops · Whittier Web Design
The Woodster Shop Art Wall Designer: a customer arranges laser-cut wood art pieces on a virtual wall, with the piece catalog on the left and a running cart total.
The Art Wall Designer — a live visualiser that lets a customer arrange laser-cut pieces and see them on their own wall before ordering. The single clearest proof a theme could not have built this store.
The hook

A live Art Wall Designer, wired straight into the catalog — not an off-the-shelf theme widget.

One system

Shop and back office in one build — inventory, orders, shipping labels, analytics, Etsy. No app pile.

Things we can help you with

Every site we build is custom-coded on the modern stack. Standard business websites go live in about 2 weeks; commerce builds are scoped to your store and your catalog.

A storefront, not a theme
Your front end is built from the ground up in Next.js, so the design is yours — not a theme a thousand other shops bought. Full control of every page and layout, no page builders, no plugins. It's the same approach we used to build this very site. Fill out a request form and we can give you an estimate in 24 hours.
Content your team can edit
Products, pages, and copy live in a Sanity CMS built around how your business actually works. Change a price, swap a photo, publish a landing page — no developer, no code, no waiting on us. You own the content, and it stays yours if you ever move on.
Nothing to patch, no app stack
Checkout runs on Stripe, and the pages around it are custom-coded — so there's no growing pile of monthly apps to subscribe to, slow your store down, and patch every week. Unlimited stock images, icons, logos, fonts, and color schemes included, plus a year of support and maintenance at no cost.

How a Project Runs

  1. Define

    Send us a few links of websites that you like.

  2. Design

    We provide mock-ups that best match your preferences.

  3. Refine

    We keep the elements you like and discard the ones that aren't needed.

  4. Build

    Then we build it on a test server for you to review.

Other Services

Restaurants & menus

Online Ordering

Restaurants that need menus online and orders coming straight in. We build the ordering flow and connect it to your point-of-sale system, so tickets land where your staff already work.

Consumer marketing

Digital Marketing

Need to target the right customers? We can create email campaigns and online ads on Google or any other social media medium.

Search & answer engine optimization

SEO & AI Search

Search has changed — customers now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI as often as they scroll results. We optimize your content and structure so search engines rank it and AI assistants can find, understand, and cite it.
