Makers and custom orders
Weeks of waiting.Not weeks of “any news?”.
Furniture, kitchens, signs, metalwork, anything made to order. Each order gets a private page that shows it taking shape, the choices still open, and the delivery week.

Sound familiar?
“Any news on my order?”
Long lead times mean customers get nervous in week three, and email to check you still exist.
Workshop photos keep them calm.
The finish was never confirmed
A colour or finish agreed in passing turns into a remake when it arrives wrong.
They approve the finish on the page.
Delivery week roulette
A late part pushes delivery and the customer finds out the day before.
A moved date waits for your wording, then goes out.
Try it: a custom order page.
A made-to-order oak table. The customer watches it take shape, picks the finish, and knows the delivery week without emailing the workshop. Click around. Nothing is sent.

Waiting for your decision
Choose the finish: natural oil
Natural oil keeps the warm oak colour (left sample). Decline if you prefer white oil, which keeps the wood pale.

The top is glued.
We matched the boards for grain, so the colour runs evenly. It dries for three days, then we plane it flat. Please choose the finish below.

Questions
Can I show several orders for the same customer?
Yes. Each order is its own project with its own link, and a customer can have several links.
Does the progress bar guess?
No. It appears only when every stage has a weight, and only finished stages count. A stage in progress adds nothing until it is marked done.
Can customers send me photos of their room or measurements?
Yes. Customers can send messages with photos or PDFs (up to 4 MB each) on their page. They arrive in your inbox, with the order.
