About Client
Sun Garden Soap Company is where you will find natural and nearly natural handmade goat milk soaps, herbal soaps, natural beeswax lip balm, Dead Sea Bath Salts, and many more good-for-your-skin products to try. Their natural products are just that – natural- no preservatives or chemicals. They use only pure essential oils, the finest vegetable and nut oils, and natural pigment for color. The nearly natural handmade goat milk soaps they make are at least 98% natural – the reason being, some of their soaps contain high-quality fragrance oils.

Why Handmade Product Businesses Need a Strong E-Commerce Website
For a business built on handmade, natural products, the website has to do something a mass-market retailer’s site doesn’t need to worry about as much: it has to convey quality, care, and authenticity through photos and product descriptions alone, since customers can’t touch or smell the soap before buying. A clunky or outdated e-commerce site can undercut all that careful craftsmanship, while a clean, professional online store builds the same trust a customer would feel picking up a bar of soap at a local craft fair — but reaches buyers anywhere in the world. For small, artisan-scale businesses especially, the website often has to work harder than the maker has time for, so it needs to be genuinely easy to manage without a dedicated tech team.
Simply Web Services has helped Sun Garden Soap Company grow from an outdated website into a fully functional WooCommerce e-commerce store, complete with a custom logo, shipping and payment integrations, and SEO to help new customers discover their handmade goat milk and herbal soaps. Just as importantly, we made sure the client could confidently manage her own online store, turning what once felt intimidating into a business tool she runs day to day. Whether you make soap, candles, crafts, or any other handmade product and need an e-commerce website that sells for you around the clock, Simply Web Services can build it right.
