Shopify takes a cut of every sale. WooCommerce buckles under load. Both mean renting a system that doesn't belong to you and caps your growth. We build your store as your own infrastructure — fast, scalable, no commission on your success.
Build with us, pay once — and never again a commission to Shopify.

Problems
Build with us, pay once — and never again a commission to Shopify.
Shopify charges transaction fees on every sale — on top of the monthly plan. The more successful you get, the more you pay to a platform you don't control. That's not a business model, that's a tax on your success.
Template stores look like every other store. You can't shape the checkout the way you want, can't implement your own logic, can't build deep integrations with your internal systems. You adapt to the tool instead of the other way around.
Every second of load time costs conversions. Shopify and WooCommerce stores are bloated with plugins and slow. On mobile, where most buying decisions happen, that's especially critical. Poor performance isn't just a UX problem — it's a revenue problem.
Solutions
Your own online store on your infrastructure — you pay once, not per sale. The more you sell, the more stays with you.
Every step from product to checkout is built for your brand and your conversion — not for a template's limits.
Custom-coded and built for speed — no plugin bloat, no conversions lost to load time, precisely where most people buy.

Tom Domanh is an SFX artist for productions like HandOfBlood, RocketBeansTV and Olivia Jones — yet none of that work could be found online.
Arda Media is a social media agency based in Cologne that helps businesses develop and execute social media strategies. Despite strong operational work for their clients, the agency itself lacked any professional digital infrastructure: no website, no unified brand identity, no system for managing inquiries, and no way to be found through search engines. Gawenda Studio built Arda Media a complete digital platform from scratch — including a custom-coded website, a bespoke CMS, an inquiry flow, and an SEO strategy built on owned content rather than hope.
Custom software instead of a page builder: real code that you own and that grows with every requirement. No subscription, no lock-in.
