Product catalogue without prices
WooCommerce as a catalogue: products, categories and product pages without a cart or payments, as in Sago Online.

Web services and product catalogues
I build product catalogues without online sales and websites with a complex content structure on WordPress and WooCommerce: modular sections, language versions and dynamically generated price lists.
When a catalogue works better than a shop
Not every company sells online. Manufacturers, distributors and businesses with individually set prices mainly need a well-organised offer: products with descriptions, specifications and images, plus a simple way to send an enquiry.
Such a catalogue can be built on WooCommerce without a cart or payments, as in Sago Online. The advantage is that products, categories and product pages work within the shop engine from day one, so when the company decides to sell online, nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch.
Similar principles apply to large content sites. The Labplus website, with a very large number of pages, is built on modular sections (flexible content): new pages are assembled from ready blocks in the admin panel, without a developer.
Who it is for
Who a catalogue or web service is for
- Manufacturers and distributors who want to present their offer without online sales.
- Companies with a broad offer and many pages.
- Companies that need content in several languages.
- Companies that want to start with a catalogue and add online sales later.
When to get in touch
- Your product offer lives in PDFs or spreadsheets and is hard to keep up to date.
- The site has many pages and each new one requires a developer.
- Prices are set individually, so a shop with a cart does not fit.
- Content must be available in several languages.
Scope
What I can build
Category and content structure
A clear structure of products, categories and pages matched to your offer.
Modular sections
Flexible content: you build new pages from ready blocks, without a developer. The Labplus website is built this way.
Language versions
Multilingual websites on Polylang.
Dynamic price lists
Price lists generated automatically from products, as in LaserCare.
Adding online sales
A WooCommerce catalogue can later be extended with a cart and online payments.
Choosing a solution
Catalogue or shop?
A short comparison to help you choose a starting point.
A
Product catalogue
- Advantage: Presents your offer without a cart or payments.
- Advantage: Customers send an enquiry or contact the company.
- Advantage: Good when prices are set individually.
- Advantage: Simpler build: no payments, shipping or online order handling.
B
Online shop
- Advantage: Customers buy and pay directly on the website.
- Drawback: Requires payments, shipping, terms and order handling.
- Advantage: Good for products with a clear price.
- Advantage: Can connect to ERP systems and Baselinker.
A WooCommerce catalogue can later be extended with online sales, so this choice does not have to be final.

Process
How a catalogue comes together
Structure of the offer
We agree on categories, product attributes, language versions and how customers send an enquiry.
Product data
We decide where the data comes from, a spreadsheet, another system or manual entry, and how it gets into the site.
Theme and modules
I write the theme from scratch on Sage and Bedrock, with modular sections for building pages.
Launch and growth
After testing I publish the site. A WooCommerce catalogue can later be extended with online sales.
Technology
WordPress and WooCommerce on Bedrock and Sage
I build catalogues and large websites on WordPress and WooCommerce with a theme written from scratch. Bedrock keeps dependencies and environments in order, and Sage provides a modern toolset for theme development.
WordPressWooCommerceBedrockSagePolylang
- WooCommerce as a catalogue without prices, ready to be extended with online sales.
- Modular sections (flexible content) instead of rigid page templates.
- Language versions on Polylang.
When a catalogue needs its own business logic, such as an extensive dashboard or an API, I suggest a custom solution in Laravel or Symfony.
- Header with image
- Text and image
- Product list
- Enquiry form
- Add section
What to prepare before we talk
You do not need everything. For a catalogue, the number of products and the data source matter most.
The number of products or pages and how they split into categories.
Specifications customers compare, e.g. dimensions or materials.
Where product data will come from: a spreadsheet, another system, manual entry.
Language versions, if needed.
How customers should reach you: form, phone, email.
Whether you plan to sell online in the future.
Missing some of this? We will work it out together during the first call.
Discuss your catalogueWhat affects the price of a website or catalogue?
Every quote is prepared individually. The more of this you include in your enquiry, the faster and more accurately I can estimate cost and timeline.

A catalogue presents products but has no cart or payments, so customers contact the company to order or ask for a price. A shop lets them buy right on the website.
Yes, if we build it on WooCommerce. That is how Sago Online works: a product catalogue without prices that can be extended with online sales.
Yes. You add products in the WooCommerce admin and build pages from ready sections (flexible content), without touching code.
Yes. I build language versions on Polylang, as on the Labplus website.
The price depends on the number of templates and pages, design, language versions, features and integrations. After a short call I prepare a quote with a detailed scope and schedule.
It depends on the size of the project. I set the timeline before we start and split it into milestones, so you always know where the project stands.
WooCommerce has a built-in CSV product import. For more complex data we agree the import scope when preparing the quote.
We decide this during the project: a form, phone or email. What matters is that the way to enquire is visible next to the products.
