/ FIG. 01 — HEROPre-launch - opening 2026G&E Signature Scents.
G&E Signature Scents is a custom e-commerce platform for an artisanal candle brand poured by hand in Ptolemaida, Greece. No SaaS template - it's a full Next.js storefront with a typed backend that runs the whole commerce lifecycle: catalog, cart, multi-currency checkout, order capture, production scheduling, shipping. The frontend is bilingual (English and Greek) and tuned for Core Web Vitals. A custom "Scent Finder" quiz routes visitors to scents they'll actually like. Payments go through a Stripe-backed gateway: VISA, Mastercard, AMEX, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA. The interesting part is the order workflow. Each batch is forty candles, and every order kicks off a three-week cure window before it ships - so the backend tracks production state, not just inventory. Content (journal, story, FAQ, shipping policy) is editable without redeploying. The admin dashboard surfaces orders, customers, and the production queue. Pre-launch right now, with pre-orders opening in 2026.

I'm available for custom backend, web, and the weird integration work nobody else wants to touch.
