Websites for shops, workshops and artisans in Ticino.

What a shop website actually needs

People looking for a shop are looking for one specific thing, and they search using the words of that thing. A site that only talks about values stays invisible to that search.

1. What you sell, written concretely

   Quality and passion say nothing to somebody looking for a size, a brand or a format. The real categories, the brands you carry and the services you offer are the words people search with, which is why they belong on the page.

2. Hours, address and where to park

   A shop is visited. The page has to give the real hours, the midday break and the closing day included, which door to use and where to leave the car. For a workshop in the old centre of Mendrisio, parking is commercial information.

3. The reason to come in instead of ordering online

   Advice given face to face, the arrangement made in front of you, the repair, the fitting, the same-day collection. It is the part an online catalogue cannot copy, and the part almost no shop website writes down.

4. An explicit path for orders on request

   Many shops take orders by phone or by message. The site can make that path clear: what you need to know, how much notice, and how collection works. The contact form is included in every package.

5. The limit of e-commerce, stated up front

   The three packages present the shop and route people to the sales or contact channel you own. A complete online shop, with catalogue, stock, payments and logistics, is not included in the packages.

Which package, and why

The package follows the functions you need, not the sector. For a shop the concrete question is how many categories need separating, how many services need explaining, and what images you already have.

• Lume 01CHF 890

  Up to 3 pages, essential copy and a contact form. Enough for a shop with a focused offer and images that are already usable.

• Lume 02CHF 1'290

  Up to 6 pages, complete copy, and selection and light correction of the images you supply. Room for separate categories, services and orders on request.

• Lume 03CHF 2'090

  Up to 8 pages, a second Latin-alphabet language, 15–25 essential iPhone photographs, lightly corrected for the website · included only in the Mendrisiotto and an essential logo with website-ready variants.

All prices are VAT included. Indicative timings are 2 weeks for Lume 01, 3 weeks for Lume 02, 4 weeks for Lume 03. Timings start from the confirmed start: valid acceptance, reconciled first payment, essential materials and required access. The service includes 15–25 essential photographs shot on iPhone and lightly corrected for the website; it is not a professional photography assignment. In the Mendrisiotto it is available as a CHF 290 extra for Lume 01 and Lume 02 and included in Lume 03. Outside the Mendrisiotto it is not included or offered as an extra.

Fiora: a shop, on a single page

Fiora is a Lume Studio demonstration concept built on Lume 01: a flower shop with its arrangements, its hours, in-shop collection and an order request, all on one page. Fiora is not a real business: contacts, prices, availability and orders are simulated, and the address is only a geographic reference.
