One joined-up platform

Portfolio, brochure site, shop, lead tracking, analytics and content management working together instead of sitting in separate tools.

Handcrafted by Woodworks is a bespoke joinery and furniture workshop in Northampton. The business sells high-value fitted interiors such as kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms, wine rooms, boot rooms and utility rooms, while also offering ready-to-order products including vanity units and outdoor kitchens.

That creates a bigger challenge than a normal brochure website can handle. The site has to build trust, show past work properly, capture detailed enquiries, support configurable product sales, and help the business understand where leads and orders are coming from.

App Ranch built one connected platform around that job.

The Brief

Handcrafted needed a site that could do more than look good. It needed to work as a luxury portfolio, a sales brochure, an online shop, a lead capture system and a business management tool.

A standard website would have struggled with the depth of the portfolio. A basic e-commerce store would not have handled the bespoke nature of the products properly. Separate SaaS tools would have added cost, complexity and disconnected data.

The brief was to build a platform that matched how the business actually sells: visual, detailed, high-trust, and built around both bespoke enquiries and configured product orders.

Why It Worked

Because the system was built around the way Handcrafted sells, not around the limits of an off-the-shelf website builder.

Bespoke customers can explore completed work, understand the services, and send a detailed enquiry from the page they are already viewing. Product customers can configure a vanity unit or outdoor kitchen with clear options, images, VAT pricing and checkout.

Behind the scenes, the team can manage the site, track leads, update content, review orders, build campaign links and see what marketing is working without needing a developer for every change.

What SaaS This Replaced

The value is not just that the client needs fewer subscriptions. The bigger value is that the tools now talk to each other.

Instead of spreading the business across separate systems, App Ranch brought the core workflow into one platform.

Webflow or Squarespace for the marketing site
Shopify for the online store
Typeform or Jotform for detailed enquiries
A lightweight CRM for lead status and notes
UTM builder tools
Separate CMS tools for projects, blogs, FAQs and testimonials
Manual spreadsheets for campaign and lead tracking
Developer support for routine content updates

A customer can browse a project, submit an enquiry, arrive with campaign tracking, get stored in the dashboard, and give the business a clear view of what happened.
