The commission page
Use with: build-website. Resume line when done: Sold {craft} on commission through a page I built — tested pricing, {n} completed requests
Brief
A page for the thing you already make, whether that is drawings, baked goods, or bracelets: photos of finished pieces, what a request costs, and how to ask for one. Nothing goes on the offer list until you have made it at least once and timed yourself, so every promise on the page has been tested.
Personalize
- The craft. The one you already do unprompted. The page shows work that exists, so if your camera roll has nothing to show, make three pieces first.
- The offer. The sizes or variants you have tested, with a turnaround based on how long the test piece took, padded for homework weeks.
- The price. Materials plus your time at a rate you can say out loud without flinching. Write the math in the README.
- How to ask. A form or DM your parents okayed. Payment on delivery, in person.
Milestones
- Page live on day one with three finished pieces photographed.
- One commission-sized test piece made and timed; price computed from materials and hours.
- Offer listed by mid-week with price and honest turnaround.
- Page shared with the people who have already asked you for one.
- First request handled start to finish and logged: the ask, the making, the handoff.
- Final README with the pricing math and what the first request taught you.
Done means
- Live URL responding; readable on a phone
- Honest-claims check passed: every offered item has been made at least once, every photo is your own work
- Price covers materials, with the math written in the README
- First request or inquiry logged in SESSIONS.md, which has an entry per session
- Buyer pays you directly on delivery; the page never collects money
