§  ·  A short editorial statement

About the boutique.


This is a small marketplace of curated .com domains. Some are working products. Some are very nearly companies. Some are just good names with nowhere else to be.

It is run by one person, unhurriedly, from a Raspberry Pi behind a thoughtful firewall. The catalog is capped at roughly one hundred listings. The pitch is curation, not volume; the promise is taste, not selection. Every listing here has been considered against the rest of the floor before it was added.

The names sit in two lanes, and the difference between them is honest.

The two lanes

Ready to Go

Small, focused products that are already live. A soundboard, a CSV repair tool, an EXIF date reader, an A/B significance calculator. What you buy is the domain, the source code, the assets, and a one-page deploy guide. You can be running the site on your own infrastructure the same week.

What Can It Be

Concept sites and clean two-word .coms positioned for the brand, product, or category they could become. Some include a full mockup page that demonstrates the register. Others are simply the name and a paragraph of framing. What you buy is the name and the freedom; the company you build on it is yours.

The clean-transfer promise

What you get: the domain, the source code (delivered as a Git repo or zip), any assets used, and a one-page deploy guide. No accounts to migrate, no infrastructure to disentangle, no remaining connection to the seller. The site you bought is yours, fully and only.

The boutique does not offer hosting. It does not retain any post-sale relationship with the buyer or the domain. It does not bundle. Clean transfer is the structural commitment that makes everything else simple, and it is non-negotiable.

How a purchase works

You write to the curator through the inquiry form attached to each listing. The curator replies, usually the same day. If the listing is yours, negotiation and payment happen off-site through Escrow.com. Once payment clears, the domain is pushed to your registrar and the code arrives as a Git repository or zip archive. The whole process usually takes a few days.

There is no checkout. There is no cart. There are no accounts. The marketplace is an introduction; the rest is a conversation.

About the name

It is a reference. The reference is not performed anywhere on the site, in any listing, or in any reply you will ever receive from the curator. That is the only wink in the whole project, and it has been left where it sits — in the URL, where it belongs.
