The problem
Simon Guastella, an independent spirits merchant based in Brest specialising in rare whiskies and spirits, had no credible online store. Orders came in by phone, Instagram DM or in-store visits. Impossible to showcase product storytelling at scale, impossible to open 24/7, impossible to book tastings without manual exchanges. Printed gift cards were handled by hand.
The solution
Full rebuild as a Next.js 16 + Stripe e-commerce. Product catalogue with long editorial descriptions, cart, checkout flow, Stripe payment. Autonomous back-office for Simon: real-time stock management, product add/edit without dev, orders view with shipping tracking. Paid tasting booking module. Digital gift cards sold online. Order dashboard with CSV export. Initial build delivered in 4 weeks, then ongoing iterations per need.
