— Three commitments
Honest Assessment: We only take on projects where we see clear, direct value for your business. If a custom build is overkill for your current stage, we will tell you straight.
Focus on Utility: We build with clean utility in mind. Every project focuses on the core drivers of a digital storefront: conversion, speed, clean search indexing, and simple day-to-day operations.
Post-Launch Commitment: If your storefront experiences issues or needs adjustments post-launch, we will stay with you to refine and support it until it is performing exactly as you need.
04 / About
JD
Founder & Developer
Joshua David Sta Rita. Based in San Pablo, Laguna. Seven years of versatile tech work—spanning software, design, and conversion tracking—and now establishing my own little corner: JD Workshop.
Right now, the workshop is in its early stages; I am actively designing and building our first set of core web templates to help businesses launch quickly with high-performance foundations.
My background includes a few years of hands-on experience shipping full-stack web applications. On the surface, I work with reliable, modern technology: React, Next.js, and TypeScript on the frontend; Node.js, Python, and relational or document databases behind it. Under the hood, I bring a structured engineering process. I don't guess or jump straight into code; I scope from project requirements, plan data structures, and map out integrations first. This ensures the final build is lean, functional, and aligns completely with your business goals.

FAQ
Questions before you reach out.
How much does this cost?
Templates start at ₱2.5K and ship with a walkthrough video, credit toward a Discover call, a 7-day refund, and 30 days of email support. Customization packages run ₱15-30K. Custom builds start at ₱15K and use Discover (₱5-10K, fixed-price) as the entry — you keep the roadmap whether you continue or not. Care retainers run ₱5-15K/month, optional. Every quote is fixed-price, never hourly.
What's the difference between a template and a custom build?
A template is a ready-made Shopify storefront you buy off the shelf — ₱2.5-5K, walkthrough included, live within hours of purchase. A custom build is a storefront we make from scratch for your business through Honest Assessment → Focus on Utility → Post-Launch Commitment — ₱15-50K, scope-defined, backed by our workmanship promise. Templates work when your business fits one of our existing design ranges (Heritage / Modern / Coastal). Custom builds work when it doesn't, or when the operations go beyond what a template can carry.
What if I don't actually need what I'm asking for?
We'll tell you. Hindi natin kailangan yan. We'd rather you keep ₱40,000 in your pocket than build something that won't pay its way. That's what the Discover call is for — a one-week diagnostic where we say no to scope you don't need, before any money goes into a build.
Do you do logos or brand identity work?
No — we're not graphic designers, and pretending to be would be off-brand. JD Workshop does web design, e-commerce storefronts, and conversion copy using AI-generated, stock, or client-provided assets. If you need a logo or full brand identity package, we'll refer you to people who do that well.
Do you work with clients outside the Philippines?
Yes. We're based in San Pablo, Laguna, and we work with Filipino-owned businesses across the Philippines and overseas — in the US, Canada, Australia, the UAE, the UK, and Singapore. We work async, with scheduled video syncs in your timezone. Pricing is PHP-anchored but we'll quote USD or your local currency on request.
What happens after my Shopify store launches?
You get a 30-day handoff period included with every build — we stay on call while you settle in. After that, it's your choice: keep the code and run it yourself (you own the repo either way), or hire us on a Care retainer for monthly maintenance, quarterly re-diagnosis, and small fixes as the storefront ages. Month-to-month, no lock-in.
Can I just DM you instead of filling out the form?
Yes — they're different on purpose. The form is for serious inquiries when you want a structured written reply within 24 hours (usually becomes a Discover-call booking). The DM is for quick chats when you're not sure yet — "is this even something you do?", "would you take a look at my Shopify and tell me if it's worth fixing?" No quote, no pressure.
