POLINO Mosaic Studio

The challenge

What the project required

The studio sold through Etsy and Instagram and had no home of its own. It needed a site that spoke Ukrainian to customers at home and English to buyers abroad, showed the work the way the work deserves, and took an order without sending anyone off to a marketplace — with no CMS to maintain and no monthly platform fee.

A storefront the studio owns — with no CMS to maintain and no monthly fee.

The solution

How it came together

Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript — no framework, no build step, nothing to keep patched. A Python importer turns Etsy's own shop-data export into the catalogue the site reads, so restocking is a one-command job. One product template renders all 62 listings from that JSON. The cart lives in localStorage as ids and quantities only, so prices are read fresh at render time and can never go stale; placing the order writes the whole basket into the contact form, and a single Vercel serverless function delivers it to the studio's Telegram.
