Building a Custom eCommerce Website for Artiva Home from Scratch
Artiva Home was founded by two industry professionals with over 70 years of combined experience in kitchen and bath products. Their mission was simple—offer high-quality, handcrafted products that stand above the low-grade options flooding the market.
When they reached out, they had no domain, no hosting, and no existing website—just a logo, a product catalog, and a goal to start selling online.
Launching a WordPress & WooCommerce eCommerce Store
Starting from a blank slate, I handled the full setup including domain configuration, hosting, and development of a custom WordPress website.
Using WooCommerce as the foundation, I built a fully functional eCommerce store tailored to their product line, allowing customers to:
- Browse a wide selection of sinks and faucets
- View product finish variations through high-quality imagery
- Access detailed specifications including measurements, materials, and certifications
- Download spec sheets directly from product pages
The result was a clean, professional storefront designed to showcase premium products and support long-term growth.
Integrating Authorize.net for Secure Payment Processing
A key requirement for Artiva Home was using their existing Authorize.net payment gateway.
I integrated Authorize.net directly into WooCommerce, ensuring a secure and seamless checkout experience for customers while allowing the business to continue using their preferred payment processor.
Automating Order Fulfillment with WooCommerce and ShipStation
To streamline operations after a sale, I assisted with integrating WooCommerce and ShipStation.
This setup allows orders placed on the website to automatically flow into their ShipStation account, where the team can:
- Organize and process incoming orders
- Generate shipping labels
- Manage packing and fulfillment workflows
This creates an efficient system where products can be picked, packed, and shipped—typically within two business days—without manual order handling.
Preparing the Website for Traffic and Growth
With the website launched, the focus shifted to visibility and performance tracking.
Final setup included:
- Google Analytics integration for user behavior tracking
- Google Search Console for search performance monitoring
- Submission to MAjor Designs’ 24/7 uptime monitoring system
With a social media team driving traffic, the website is fully equipped to convert visitors into customers.
Delivering a Complete eCommerce Solution from Day One
This project is a strong example of taking a business from zero online presence to a fully operational eCommerce platform.
From domain and hosting setup to payment processing and fulfillment automation, everything was built to work together—giving Artiva Home a reliable system they can grow with.
