Ascenta Studio Ascenta Studio

Website design · Watches, jewelry & leather goods

Watch and jewelry websites that show the work up close.

People spend more on a watch, a ring or a bag when they can see the craft: the setting, the stitching, the finish. We design and build the site so that detail carries the sale, with checkout on your own site.

The short answer

Ascenta Studio provides website design for watch, jewelry and leather goods brands. Your quote depends on the pages, design, content and features you need. You'll know the scope and total price before you pay. Once accepted, that price won't change for the agreed work. We'll quote any extra requests before starting them.

01The work

Live builds you can open right now.

Every build here is a concept brand we designed and built end to end, so no real company's products are used as a sample. The sites aren't mockups: they're live, and it's the same standard we ship. Open them on your phone.

02What it takes

What a high-ticket product site has to get right.

Detail you can get close to

Sharp, large images that hold up when someone zooms in on a clasp or a dial. At this price the close-up is what closes the sale.

The craft, step by step

Meridian tells the setting of 812 stones by one setter; Maison Roux walks through fourteen hours of work in the order they happen. Showing the hours is how a price starts to make sense.

Specs that answer the collector

Case size, caliber, metal, stones, leather, water resistance. Meridian even publishes its rate sheet in seconds per day.

Numbered and limited pieces

A numbered run, a name on every piece, a waitlist when it's gone. Meridian's first three hundred carry their number on the caseback.

Trust at a higher price

Shipping, returns, care and who's behind the brand, easy to find from every product. A big order needs more reassurance than a small one.

Options without a phone call

Metal, size or strap as options on the product, each with its own price and stock, and the checkout in your look through to payment.

05Questions

Questions before we start.

How much will my website cost?

Your quote depends on the pages, design, content and features you need. You'll know the scope and total price before you pay. Once accepted, that price won't change for the agreed work. We'll quote any extra requests before starting them.

How long will it take?

We'll agree a realistic schedule after checking your scope and materials, before you pay. You'll review the work and approve it before launch.

Are there monthly fees?

We'll list hosting, domain, maintenance and third-party costs separately in your quote. You'll see which recurring costs are required and which services are optional before you pay.

What if I need something extra?

We quote extra pages, content, features or revisions separately for your approval before doing the additional work.

Who owns the site?

You do. Once you pay the agreed project fee, the website design and code are yours. You can take your site with you.

Can customers choose metal, size or engraving?

Yes. Metal, size and strap are options on the product, each with its own price and stock, and engraving can be a text field on the product page.

Two of the examples don't open on my phone. Why?

Meridian and Maison Roux are long scroll films made for a big screen, so they open on a laptop or desktop. Your own site is built for the phone first.

I already sell on Shopify. Do I have to leave it?

No. If you want your orders, stock and customers to stay in Shopify, the new site connects to it and Shopify keeps handling checkout. If you'd rather not pay for Shopify, the store runs on Stripe instead and the money goes straight to your account.
