About

Bespoke Betty makes handmade, made-to-order shirts, hoodies, jumpers and cushions. The site is a portfolio, not a shop: a single page that shows the work and opens a conversation through a contact form. The design direction, “Thread”, is warm and tactile: Fraunces paired with Inter, a clay accent used with restraint, and dashed “stitch line” seams tying the sections together.

Notable

  • Betty edits it herself. The gallery and homepage copy are content-managed through Sveltia CMS at /admin (GitHub login), so new pieces and text changes don’t need a developer.
  • No backend to run. The contact form uses Netlify Forms, so submissions are captured with a honeypot for spam and the visitor lands on a thank-you page, all with zero server code.
  • Rebrandable from tokens. Colour, type and spacing live as design tokens in one stylesheet, so the whole look can shift without touching markup.
  • Statically built and hosted on Netlify, live on its own domain with auto-issued TLS.

Stack

Astro static build, deployed to Netlify with Netlify Forms for contact and Sveltia CMS for client-side editing. Self-hosted Fraunces + Inter via Fontsource. Live at bespokebetty.com.au.
