E-commerce website development

E-commerce website development for stone carving workshops in Taxila

Taxila's carvers make Gandhara-style sculpture, marble décor and stone gifts that buyers across Pakistan and abroad look for online. We build an online store that sells them properly: real photos of each piece, stone and size named, clear labelling as new handmade work, careful packing and shipping options, and an enquiry route for custom and overseas orders.

On the Business bundle package, from PKR 25,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.

Why it fits

Why e-commerce website development matters for Taxila

The stone carving and marble workshops of Taxila sell mostly to tourists visiting the museum and to dealers who resell elsewhere at a markup. A workshop with its own store can reach interior designers, gift buyers and overseas Pakistanis directly. The work suits e-commerce because every piece is distinctive and photographs well. Two things need care. Fragility makes packing and courier choice part of the product. Honesty matters even more: pieces must be sold clearly as new handmade work in a traditional style, never presented as antiques or excavated finds.

The work

What we run for Taxila

• Build a store with categories by piece type — Buddha heads, panels, vases, lamps, décor — and a product template naming stone, size and weight.
• Photograph each piece in daylight from several angles, with a hand or ruler for scale, so buyers know exactly what will arrive.
• Label every product as new handmade work in Gandhara style, with no wording that hints at antiquity or archaeological origin.
• Set up shipping options with packing explained, insured courier where available, and cash on delivery only where breakage risk is manageable.
• Add a custom-order and overseas enquiry form that goes to WhatsApp, since larger pieces are usually agreed by conversation.

Examples

Where we would start

Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

Can Taxila stone carvers sell online?

Yes. Gandhara-style sculpture and marble décor photograph well and find buyers across Pakistan and among overseas Pakistanis. A Taxila workshop with its own store, honest descriptions, careful packing and a route for custom orders can reach interior designers and gift buyers directly instead of selling only to visiting dealers.

How should Taxila workshops describe Gandhara-style pieces online?

As new handmade work in Gandhara style, naming the stone, size and maker. Never describe a piece as ancient, original or excavated; that misleads buyers, and genuine antiquities are protected by law. Honest labelling is also what makes international buyers comfortable placing an order with a Taxila workshop.

Pitfalls

Common mistakes with e-commerce website development

• Describing replicas as ancient, original or from an excavation, which misleads buyers and can create serious legal trouble.
• Offering cash on delivery on heavy, fragile pieces, which leads to refused parcels and broken returns.
