Atelier Monolith
A working Next.js storefront for a fictional leather brand, with search, filters, cart, gift options and one-tap WhatsApp ordering.
ONLINE STORES
E-commerce website development in Kerala often starts simpler than people expect. Many small brands sell well with a fast catalogue, search and a cart that sends the order to WhatsApp. Salman Faris builds that first, then adds payments and stock tools when sales justify them.
For small brands, shops and sellers moving from Instagram and WhatsApp orders to their own store.
A lot of selling in Kerala already happens in WhatsApp chats. A store does not have to replace that. It can give customers a proper catalogue and send them to the chat with the order already filled in.
When the business needs it, the same store can grow into online payments, stock tracking and an admin panel. The demo below, Atelier Monolith, shows the first stage, and my Go backend projects cover the second. No client store is shown here yet, so ask for details on what fits your case.
Product questions, prices and addresses get buried across conversations.
You want your own storefront alongside the big platforms.
Customers cannot search, filter or check what is available.
Agreed in writing before work starts.
Catalogue, search, filters and product pages.
A cart that sends a complete order summary to your WhatsApp.
Payment gateway integration through an approved provider, when you are ready.
Product, order and discount management for your team.
Real work where it exists, and clearly labelled concepts where it does not.

Products, order flow, delivery and who handles what.
Product data and photos organised so customers can find things.
From product page to WhatsApp or checkout in as few steps as possible.
Phones, slow connections and the awkward cases, before customers find them.
I build from Calicut for sellers across Kerala, where delivery and customer conversations usually run through WhatsApp. The store is planned around how your customers already buy.
Not always. If your customers already pay after a chat, a WhatsApp checkout is a cheaper and faster start. Online payments can be added once order volume makes them worthwhile.
Yes, through an approved provider using your own account. Card details are handled by the provider and never stored on your site.
Large catalogues with complex stock usually suit an established e-commerce platform. I will say so if that is the better choice for you.
For local businesses, restaurants, institutions, creators and personal brands that need a website people can find.
For startups and teams that need a frontend built properly, or a React codebase put back in order.
For small businesses, startups and personal brands in Kerala that want enquiries, not just followers.
