JB 3D — A custom shop site for a print business growing past the DM.

Running an entire shop out of a DM thread.

Before launching the site, James was running JB 3D entirely through direct messages — fielding every order, every quote, and every event question one conversation at a time.

Customers had no central place to see what was available, where he'd be set up next, or how to actually buy. Growth was being capped by the time it took just to keep up with the inbox.

A site that quietly does the work he used to do manually.

JB 3D needed more than a website — it needed a customer-facing hub that could carry the operational weight. Built on WordPress, the site brings the moving pieces of the business directly onto the page:

• Live event schedule via Google Sheets

  The "Local Markets & Events" section pulls directly from a Google Sheet James controls. Add an event, it appears on the site. After the event date passes, it automatically falls off — no manual cleanup, no outdated info.

• Embedded Big Cartel storefront

  Every product James lists in Big Cartel appears directly on jb3dprint.com. Customers browse, select, and check out without ever leaving the site — no bouncing between platforms, no broken trust from third-party redirects.

• Custom commission intake

  A built-in commission request form captures print specs, color preferences, size, and budget upfront — so quoting takes minutes instead of a back-and-forth DM thread.

The inbox isn't the bottleneck anymore.

The site quietly works on James's behalf — answering the questions he used to answer one DM at a time, and letting him spend his energy on the actual work instead of the inbox.

For a small shop, that's the whole point of having a site in the first place.
