Maker & small shop website templates

What people build with these

Each template was built and tested against a real kind of business. Between them, they cover:

• Anyone selling a physical object with a price on it
• A small stocked range sold direct, with one payment link per item
• Seller whose range mixes in-stock items with made-to-order ones
• Reseller or supplier who stocks goods rather than making them
• Seller offering a downloadable file alongside physical goods
• Print, apparel or accessories shop that wants a plain modern catalogue
• Anyone currently taking orders through direct messages
• Novelist with a backlist to show and a new book to sell
• Poet or short-story writer with several collections in print
• Self-published author whose one book needs to look like it belongs on a shelf
• Non-fiction or cookery writer selling through bookshops rather than a cart
• Small press or imprint showing a list without running a shop
• Translator or editor publishing under their own name
• Author who does readings and festivals and needs the diary to stay current
• Any writer whose backlist includes out-of-print titles worth keeping visible
• A maker whose buyers compare products by specification rather than by looks
• Small-batch hardware — audio, instruments, lighting, bike parts, tools
• Anyone publishing measurements, tolerances or draw figures beside a price

Build one by asking your AI agent

No editor required. The agent writes your copy, swaps the photos and publishes the site.

1. 1Connect Sitelas to Claude, ChatGPT or another AI agent that supports MCP. How to connect
2. 2Ask for it in plain words: “Build a website for anyone selling a physical object with a price on it. Pick the template that fits best.”
3. 3Open the preview link it sends back, ask for changes, and publish when it reads right.

Then keep changing it from the same chat

• Rewrite the copy“Rewrite every page in a warmer, friendlier voice.”
• Change the design“Make the colours earthier and use a serif for headings.”
• Add or remove pages“Add a Pricing page and remove the Blog.”
• Rearrange sections“Move the testimonials higher and add an FAQ.”
• Swap the photos“Replace the photos with ones that fit my business.”
• Run the site“Show me this week's form messages, then publish.”

Everything here can also be done by hand in the visual editor.
