Websites
Hedronite designs, builds, and hosts ecommerce sites for small shops: a catalog, and a cart with payment and shipping when the shop needs the site itself to take the order.
The price is one of five bands: <$5k, $5k–$10k, $10k–$20k, $20k–$30k, or $30k+.
Every tier includes a monthly retainer of 5–10% of the build fee.
The usual problems
The ecommerce sample is a watch storefront built to show the opposite of these patterns. It is a sample, not a client shop.
A leftover test string in the hero, a first-name error pinned to the last-name field, and three promo codes stacked on each other. Each is small. Together they say nobody checked. The ecommerce sample is written against that rush.
A grid of products is not a warehouse, a tax engine, and a custom checkout. A cart that charges cards and calculates shipping is not a set of static pages. The engagement has to say which one you are buying.
One promotion, stated once, beats a stack of codes. The sample keeps a single promo for that reason. A real shop should be able to point at the offer and know it is the only one.
The work
The scope is decided on the consult, then built as the kind of site that scope actually needs.
Product names, a short honest description, and a page that reads like the shop rather than the template. The sample uses a small grid and one promo. A real catalog can be larger. It still has to be checked.
A static site or a Topcoat site is the right build when the public pages are the catalog and the sale completes in a system you already run. We will say so on the consult instead of selling a server you do not need.
Payment, shipping, and a cart that charges the right amount are in scope when the consult includes them. That is a dynamic server. We build it with Loco. It is not a full custom commerce platform unless the band and the consult say that is the work.
A first-name problem lands on First name. The ecommerce sample is held to that, and a client shop is too.
Client sites are static (Astro or Eleventy), Topcoat, or Loco (Rust) when the project needs a dynamic server, such as appointment booking or secure file intake.
The engagement
Sample · not a client site
The ecommerce sample is labeled in the $30k+ band. That label is a market comp for that kind of storefront, not a quote. The sample is not a client shop.
Pricing
A one-time build fee and a 5–10% monthly retainer for sustained upkeep.
Every tier includes a monthly retainer of 5–10% of the build fee.
Questions
Hedronite LLC does. Evan Eugene Pincham, the founder and Systems Architect, is who you work with. The work is a catalog and, when you need it, a cart that takes payment and shipping. Start at [email protected].
A catalog, a single promotion, and the path to an order are the base. Payment, shipping, and a cart that charges cards are in scope when the consult includes them. A custom commerce platform, with the warehouse and tax logic that implies, is a larger engagement and has to be named as such. It is not slipped in under a catalog.
When the public site is the catalog and the sale completes in a system you already trust. When the site itself must run the cart, take payment, or calculate shipping, the build is Loco, because that work needs a server.

No. The page at /samples/ecom/ is a sample, labeled as not a client site. It shows a small catalog, one promo, and a form that validates the field it names.
