If you have ever wished you could sell your digital downloads without wrestling with plugins or patching together different tools, this is where Djangify comes in. You do not have to build anything yourself. I set up the entire ecommerce site for you, from checkout to dashboard, so that you can start selling your products quickly, safely, and with confidence.
This article explains what happens behind the scenes and what you need to have ready before the build begins.
1. What Djangify Builds for You
Your mini digital store is a lightweight, professional ecommerce site designed to sell up to 25 digital products.
It includes everything you need to operate from day one:
- A working Stripe checkout tested before handover.
- A customer dashboard where buyers can download files anytime.
- A built-in CMS (content management system) so you can add new products later without code.
- Hosting and security for the first six months, configured on a fast VPS server.
- AI-search-ready schema, ensuring your pages can appear in modern AI search results.
You are not buying a template or theme you are receiving a complete working system. What used to be known online as a "business in a box". Once delivered, it belongs entirely to you.
2. What You Need to Prepare
The only work on your side happens before I start the build.
Everything needed is covered in the eCommerce Setup Questionnaire you receive after purchase.
Here’s what you should have ready:
Brand basics
Business name, short tagline, 1–2 sentence description, logo, and brand colours. These define your store’s identity and ensure visual consistency.
Product content
Product titles, descriptions, images, and downloadable files (up to 6 for setup). I can then create professional product pages that showcase your work.
Lead magnet or freebie (optional)
A small free PDF or download to use in your homepage Call-to-Action box or details of your email provider so a newsletter subscription box can be set up. This helps you collect subscribers and grow your email list.
Stripe account
Either provide details or set one up if you don't have a Stripe account. This is required for taking secure payments.
Hosting notes
Indicate if large audio/video files need connecting to Cloudinary, Vimeo, or AWS S3. I want to ensure files deliver fast and reliably.
Policies
Any privacy, cookie, or terms information you wish included. Keeps your site compliant and professional.
You can email your completed questionnaire or share it via Google Drive, Dropbox, or a zipped folder - whichever is easiest.
Once I have all the details, I confirm and begin setup immediately.
3. How the Build Process Works
Djangify projects follow a clear, quick timeline:
Purchase + Download
After purchase, you instantly receive the setup questionnaire. Complete and return it within 72 hours.
Build & Testing (3–5 working days)
I configure your site, add your products, apply your brand colours, connect Stripe, and test every feature.
Handover
You receive admin logins, a short management guide, and confirmation that everything works.
Go Live
Your store is ready to take payments and deliver digital downloads automatically.
You will not need to handle code, plugins, or any technical setup because everything is done for you.
4. What Happens After Launch
Once the handover is complete, you have full control. You can:
- Add or edit products from your admin area.
- Update text, prices, or images anytime.
- Create free downloads or bonus content for customers.
Add extra products (£25 each) or an optional blog if you later want to expand your brand visibility.
The system is intentionally simple and built for long-term independence rather than technical dependency.
If you ever decide to move hosting or add advanced features, the site structure supports that too.
5. Things to Ensure Before Purchase
- Have your content and images ready - the faster I receive them, the faster your build is complete.
- Set up your Stripe account in advance to avoid delays.
- If you plan to sell large video or audio files, confirm external storage access (Cloudinary, Vimeo, AWS S3).
- Make sure you can return your questionnaire within 72 hours - this timeline keeps your project on track.
- Double-check your policies. Generic templates are included, but you must update them to suit your business.
These small preparations ensure a smooth setup from purchase to launch.
6. Why This Approach Works
A mini eCommerce site is the simplest, most sustainable way to begin selling digital downloads online because:
- There’s no steep learning curve. You skip the tech setup and focus on your products.
- You own everything. No huge monthly platform fees or plugin dependencies.
- It’s future-proof. Built with Django and Tailwind, ready for AI-search visibility.
- It grows with you. Add products, extras, or new pages anytime.
Starting small reduces cost and complexity, but still gives you a powerful system built for real-world use that is tested and ready to sell.
