Skylit Studio
The Challenge: Custom star map businesses rely on manual design work, slow turnarounds, and disconnected systems—limiting scale and profit margins.
The Solution: A fully automated platform where customers design their own personalised star maps, the system renders print-ready files, and fulfilment happens without manual intervention.
- Real-time Shopify webhook sync for orders & inventory
- Server-side astronomical calculations with star catalogue
- Admin dashboard with analytics & order management
- Customer design review & revision portal
Every Star Map order includes an automatically generated 24-page eBook featuring the mythology and stories behind the customer's visible constellations. The system identifies which constellations appear in their unique sky, renders a labelled chart, and assembles a fully personalised PDF—all without manual work.
Bespoke landing pages with interactive product configurators, real-time 3D previews, and seamless Shopify checkout integration. Each funnel is tailored for specific campaigns—from seasonal promotions to targeted gift collections—maximising conversion through guided user experiences.
Three.js-powered product visualisations that sync with the configurator in real time. As customers adjust their design—location, date, colours, text—the 3D preview updates instantly, maintaining correct data flow between Shopify and the rendering backend.

04. FAQ
I bring more than just code to the table. Many developers can make things work—but I care deeply about how they work and how they look. I have a strong sense of design and user experience, which means I won't just build what you ask for; I'll make sure it feels right, looks polished, and actually makes sense for your users. You're getting a developer who thinks like a designer and sweats the details that most overlook.
To help achieve this, you'll have access to a Client Portal where you can leave feedback as we progress. Your input shapes the final result—so we're always aligned on what "right" looks like.
While I primarily focus on Shopify these days, I can certainly help with WordPress projects. These platforms share similar underlying concepts—themes, templates, hooks, and customization patterns. If you have a WordPress project that needs development work, feel free to reach out and we can discuss it.
Absolutely. Whether you need a second pair of eyes on tricky code, help with a specific integration, or just want to offload part of a project, I'm happy to collaborate. I work well with other developers and can adapt to your existing codebase and workflows.
Not at all. Think of coding like the building trade—every contractor or landscaper has their own know-how and ways of getting the job done. Sure, there's code that works and code that doesn't, but the path to a solution can vary. You don't need to know the technical jargon or any programming language names. Just tell me what you want or need in your own words—that's more than enough. I'll translate that into a solution and come back to you with options.
It depends on the scope. Small fixes and tweaks can often be done within 24-48 hours. Larger features or custom builds typically take 1-2 weeks. For full projects, I'll provide a timeline estimate after understanding your requirements. I always communicate proactively if anything changes.
Yes. After a project is complete, I can provide ongoing support for updates, bug fixes, and new features. Many clients prefer a retainer arrangement for regular maintenance—this ensures quick response times and priority support when issues arise.
That's completely fine. Many clients come to me with a problem rather than a solution in mind. Just describe what you're trying to achieve or what's not working, and I'll help figure out the best approach. The initial consultation is free—no commitment required.
