Overview

Crafts by Carly is a custom laser engraving business creating personalized drinkware and accessories. After several years of steady growth through Instagram, demand was strong — but every order was handled manually through DMs. As the business scaled, a structured system was needed to reduce workload, improve the customer experience, and support continued growth.

The Challenge

  • All orders handled manually through DMs
  • Constant back-and-forth for pricing and options
  • High mental load and context switching
  • No structured way to scale order volume

The Approach

  • Built structured product pages with guided customization
  • Introduced conditional logic for options and pricing
  • Created a visual design gallery for easy browsing
  • Streamlined ordering into a clear, self-serve flow

The Approach

The Outcome

The result is a fully structured ordering system that replaces manual conversations with a clear, guided experience. Customers can now browse designs, customize products, and complete orders independently — reducing workload while supporting continued growth.
Site Highlights:

  • “Before working together, we were seriously considering shutting down the business. The constant back-and-forth through Instagram was exhausting, and it no longer felt sustainable.

    Working with Meg was a dream. She understood exactly what the business needed, often before I could fully articulate it, and guided me through decisions with clarity and confidence.

    Everything has changed. My designs and photos are organized, I now have a full website, and I’m no longer relying on Instagram to manage orders.

    The role Meg played in keeping Crafts by Carly moving forward is something we’re incredibly grateful for.”
