Orders
Four order types share one configurable form and one orders table. Pricing per type lives in one module and gives customers an estimate up front; bulk, logo, and custom requests go through a separate inquiry flow.

Highlights
- Live since August 2026; the owner runs orders, the queue, and reviews herself from an admin portal.
- A public live order queue that emails customers when they move up.
- A pre-launch gate that opened itself at a fixed launch time, with no redeploy.
Overview
Íocón Graphics makes custom graphics for Irish dancers. The site runs the business: a gallery, an order form for each product, a public waitlist showing where every order stands, moderated reviews, and an admin portal the owner runs day to day.
How it works
Live queue
A customer’s place in line is computed from open orders by date. When the owner marks an order done, everyone behind it gets a “you’ve moved up” email. The public waitlist renders live, keeps finished orders visible for 14 days, and estimates the wait from queue depth.
Admin auth
Emailed six-digit codes with signed, stateless cookies; the admin allowlist is re-checked on every request, and sign-in is rate-limited.
Reviews
New reviews stay hidden until approved.
Reliability
Uploads go to Vercel Blob with type checks, size caps, and rate limits. A failed email never loses an order, and with no database or mail server configured the app falls back to in-memory storage and logged email, so it runs locally with zero setup.
Launch
A pre-launch gate held every public page and refused submissions until a fixed launch instant, then opened on its own — no redeploy.
What I’d do next
- Stripe Checkout in the order flow instead of invoices sent by hand.
- Structured columns for order details instead of a text field.
