A charming online yarn shop selling wool, knitting and crochet accessories, and tatting supplies. Café Tricot Thé combines e-commerce with an informative blog that brings the crafting community together — sharing patterns, tips, and inspiration alongside products.
We handled the complete e-commerce setup — product data migration, Belgian VAT configuration, shipping zones, payment gateway integration through Mollie, automated invoicing, and stock management. The site runs on our optimized infrastructure with Cloudflare CDN, R2 object storage for media, and Redis caching for fast page loads.
Beyond the build, we provide ongoing maintenance — security updates, performance monitoring, daily backups, and AI-powered content to drive organic traffic and keep the site fresh.
