About

I'm Aaron, the person behind Global Storefront.

No faceless agency, no templates. Every project has me personally involved from the first idea to launch. I lead the direction, stay hands-on through the build, and make sure your site ends up feeling like your shop.

Why I started this

A lot of great local businesses (bakeries, restaurants, barbershops, corner shops) end up with a generic template or a page that barely does anything. It looks fine, but it can't take an order, book an appointment, or reward a regular. Global Storefront is my answer to that.

Every site is built by hand in real code: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Airtable, Netlify. No drag-and-drop builders, no theme kits. The result is a site made for your shop specifically: your menu, your hours, your customers, and the way you actually run the place.

What I actually build

This isn't a pretty homepage with nothing behind it. Here's the real work that goes into every shop I take on:

Hand-coded, from a blank file

Every page is written from scratch, so nothing is bloated, broken, or borrowed from a template the shop down the street is also using.

Online ordering & scheduling that works

Real order-ahead carts, appointment booking, and payment processing. Working systems your customers actually use, not screenshots of a feature you'll get later.

Rewards & loyalty for your regulars

Points on every purchase and Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers that bring people back. The kind of loyalty a punch card can't track.

An owner dashboard with the real numbers

Manage orders, track inventory, and see what's actually selling. A back office built for you, not vanity stats you can't use.

A smart helper bot on every site

A built-in assistant that answers your customers' questions in your voice (menu, hours, and policies) day or night.

Free preview before you pay a cent

I spec it, build a live version you can log into and click around, and you only pay when it's ready to go live on your own domain.

How I work with you

01

I match your shop

A warm neighborhood bakery doesn't get a cold corporate layout. I design around your business, not the latest trend.

02

No fake data

Previews use real pages and real flows, so what you see is genuinely what launch day feels like.

03

You own everything

Your domain, your data, your code. I don't hold your site hostage. Walk away with the keys anytime.

04

You talk to me

No account managers, no phone tree. The person who builds it is the person who answers your email.
