Client projectTouma Ceramics
Ceramics studio, Jerusalem
An online store for handmade ceramics on Shopify, where the shop, the studio and the café are one brand. And beyond the contract, tools that make the maker’s days easier: a form for photographing pieces, a store-owner portal and a development log.
Task
Show handmade ceramics and sell them online, in English and Hebrew. The shop, the studio and the café are one brand, and the site had to bring them together.
What we did
We built an online store on Shopify: storefront, product pages, payments, delivery. Alongside it, pages for the studio and the café. About three weeks from the idea to handover. I kept a development log: every step and the hours worked. I share it with the client as agreed.
Result
An online store, delivered in October 2026 and live: catalog, product pages, cart and payment, the whole site in English and Hebrew, right to left.
One site for three sides of one business: you see both the piece and the place where it was born.
Handmade ceramics: single pieces and sets, product pages, cart, payment.
Anna makes the pieces in the Touma studio. The “About us” page and the “From clay to table” block tell that story.
The Touma Ceramics shop in Jerusalem comes with a café: coffee, ceramics and a real place where you can hold a piece in your hands.

Store screenshots: desktop and phone side by side.
01
Pieces and sets in one catalog: a filter by the number of items in a set, an “in stock” mark.
02
Photos of the set, the price in shekels, availability, lead time and pickup from the Touma café. Everything you need to decide, on the first screen.
03
The café page: coffee, ceramics and a physical place in Jerusalem. The buyer sees that there is a real place behind the store.
04
A full Hebrew version, right to left: the header, menu, buttons and headings are mirrored, not just translated.
05
The cart and the step to checkout. Payments are connected.
A short video about the project: how the site carries the atmosphere of the studio and what we did beyond the brief.
A gift letter to the first clients
I’m giving this portal to my first clients. It wasn’t part of the agreement.
It’s like buying a car and never driving it: think of everything it can do. An online store is the same.
So I didn’t just build a store. I gave you a way to run it and grow it.
Looking after the client doesn’t stop at the store. It’s a gift to my first clients.
The maker photographs a piece with a phone and fills in a short form: type, material, dimensions, weight, price, glaze. The photos and video go straight to the Shopify library, the data to a spreadsheet.
I kept a development log: every step and the hours worked. I share it with the client as agreed.
Touma Ceramics · website and shop
“We wanted a website that reflects the character of our handmade ceramics and makes our pieces accessible worldwide. Working with Ilya, we were able to bring our vision to life. We love how the website feels natural and personal, while letting the ceramics speak for themselves! We’re so happy to have a little home for our ceramics online!”
