Ascenta Studio Ascenta Studio

Website design · Skincare brands

Skincare websites that sell what a screen can't touch.

Nobody can feel a cream through a phone, so the site has to do it for you: the texture, the ingredients and a reason to trust you. We design and build it by hand, with the store and checkout on your own site.

The short answer

Ascenta Studio provides website design for skincare brands. Your quote depends on the pages, design, content and features you need. You'll know the scope and total price before you pay. Once accepted, that price won't change for the agreed work. We'll quote any extra requests before starting them.

01The work

Live builds you can open right now.

Every build here is a concept brand we designed and built end to end, so no real company's products are used as a sample. The sites aren't mockups: they're live, and it's the same standard we ship. Open them on your phone.

02What it takes

What a skincare site has to get right.

Texture you can almost feel

Close product shots and short loops of the cream, the pump, the jar opening. It's the part of a beauty counter a screen usually loses, and it's where most skincare sites go flat.

Ingredients people can check

The full ingredient list on every product, with the key actives explained in plain words. Shoppers look for it, and hiding it reads like there's something to hide.

Claims that stay cosmetic

Pivoine says "smoother-looking skin", not "repairs your skin". Product copy on your site is worded the same careful way, and the final claims are always yours to approve.

Routines, not only products

A set or a routine page (cleanse, treat, moisturize) sells three products where a grid sells one. Pivoine groups four pieces into one ritual.

A checkout that still looks like you

The bag, delivery and payment keep your look all the way through. Payments run on Stripe, and the money goes straight to your account.

Fast on a phone

Most skincare shoppers tap through from Instagram or TikTok, on a phone, often on a bad signal. Hand-written code keeps the page light, so they see the product instead of a spinner.

05Questions

Questions before we start.

How much will my website cost?

Your quote depends on the pages, design, content and features you need. You'll know the scope and total price before you pay. Once accepted, that price won't change for the agreed work. We'll quote any extra requests before starting them.

How long will it take?

We'll agree a realistic schedule after checking your scope and materials, before you pay. You'll review the work and approve it before launch.

Are there monthly fees?

We'll list hosting, domain, maintenance and third-party costs separately in your quote. You'll see which recurring costs are required and which services are optional before you pay.

What if I need something extra?

We quote extra pages, content, features or revisions separately for your approval before doing the additional work.

Who owns the site?

You do. Once you pay the agreed project fee, the website design and code are yours. You can take your site with you.

Can you show full ingredient lists and routines?

Yes. Ingredient lists, key actives, how-to-use steps, sets and routines are all normal parts of a skincare store we build, each product with its own price and stock.

I already sell on Shopify. Do I have to leave it?

No. If you want your orders, stock and customers to stay in Shopify, the new site connects to it and Shopify keeps handling checkout. If you'd rather not pay for Shopify, the store runs on Stripe instead and the money goes straight to your account.

Do I need professional photos first?

It helps, but it's not a blocker. Send what you have and we'll work with it. When you have better ones later, send them and we swap them in, at a price you know before we start.
