Hakuoki SSL～sweet school life～ 『Christmas Weekend』 2016 SS

Well, I've decided that this is going to be my last Hakuoki post for the year. For December, I plan on working on that Collar x Malice Xmas short story that I've been putting off for a while and the next Deemo chapter... and then I'll probably try to do something about my non-existent queue since I really don't think I'll be able to translate much in January or February because of my exam... though I swear that I'll at least put in some effort. Also I do want to get back to Hakumyu Hijikata-hen's extras. Been sitting on those for a while because life's been busy... 😅 ehehehe.... (facepalm).

Anyway, this translation is originally from a story that was posted by Otomate in 2016... and I am 70% sure that this image was published with it. Unfortunately, I can't check since the link it was posted to no longer works, and I also can't check where I found the tl for this story (unlike most things, I know where it was located... but it was on blog.sina and I can't do anything about unviewable content). Still, I had this image in my drafts for years with a note blurb about the the 2016 SSL Xmas story so it probably is the right one?

Enjoy~!

Hakuoki SSL～sweet school life～

『Christmas Weekend』

Translation by KumoriYami

——Saturday, December 24

This year, a Christmas event was to be held on the 24th of December, between 3 consecutive days of vacation.

Although the 23rd is a Friday and a holiday, [since] the 24th fell on a Saturday and the 25th fell on Sunday, which resulted in a 3 day consecutive holiday, it was a rare occurrence to have such a Christmas holiday in recent years [SSL is set in 2016 [or so the tl note said]…. which had December 23rd, a Japanese national holiday which celebrates the birth of Emperor Akihito, fall on a Friday]. Therefore, it is very meaningful for those who had people of significance to them such as family, loved ones, and close friends who enjoyed such holiday activities.

However, there were also people who couldn't be included among them. Those who were working for example, who were unable to celebrate or find time to spend together with their partners, and those who did not make plans for Christmas, or even the holiday… Yukimura Chizuru was one of those people.

Chizuru did not originally intend to spend Christmas like this.

However, her father, Yukimura Kodo, was on a business trip at an offshore island and hadn't returned, while her older twin brother, Nagumo Kaoru, the adopted son of the Nagumo family, was spending Christmas with them.

Additionally, since the holiday this year had consecutive days, according to the usual conventions, Principal Kondou asked that the school activities be kept simple. Of course, Chairman Serizawa did not hold any Christmas activities.

It would have usually just been girls… Chizuru had originally thought that, but Suzuka Sen and Suzuka Kosuzu, who she had good relationships with, also had three consecutive days off, so they had gone back to their hometown in Kyoto to spend Christmas, and Chizuru had just seen them off yesterday.

Then her friends from junior high school were apparently going to an event by their new high school to play with a group and some boys. Chizuru was also invited, but as she was the only student from another school, even she participated, she would still experience anxiousness [tl says stage fright… so w/e], so she didn't go.

In this way, the 24th became a day without any plans.

So, what were the boys at Hakuo Gakuen who had good relationships with Chizuru? She didn't know why, [but] she hadn't hadn't received any invitations from them. She had already asked her childhood friend, Toudou Heisuke, indirectly, but he had refused and said that he had something else happening that day. In addition to Heisuke, it appeared that everyone else had a similar reason.

( It was just, the "something" Heisuke mentioned definitely had nothing to do with other girls! Chizuru tried to persuade herself about this.)

(That's right… For 3 consecutive days off, everyone else must have their own plans. Yet I….)

Thinking this, Chizuru had a sudden realization. Because she had realized it was the Christmas holiday, she had a strong desire to spend it with someone, even though it was simply 3 consecutive days off… As long as it could be thought of as a normal weekend, it wasn't strange that there was nothing to do.

（——Hm. Although it's a bit early, the end of the year is approaching anyway, so it wouldn't be bad to do a lot of cleaning.)

Just as Chizuru thought that, she received a text message on her phone, with the sender being Toudou Heisuke. She thought he wanted to call her for something so she picked up her phone and looked at it——.

----------------------------

Subject: Danger

Sender: Heisuke-kun

Message: Even if something happens, don't leave home!

----------------------------

………………

Chizuru stared at her phone's screen and tilted her head in confusion. What danger would there be on a calm and peaceful Saturday afternoon? But if what Heisuke said in his text message was true, there apparently was some sort of danger 【outside her home】, which was why she had been told to 【not go outside】.

She tried to get him to reply about if he had made a mistake or meant something else, but she received no response. Although she did try to directly call him, she only received a voicemail.

(What should I do? Maybe something happened to Heisuke-kun…)

Anyway, let’s go to Heisuke’s house next door first. She thought about this while she recalled the content of the text message he sent.

(It's just next door… there shouldn't be any problems, right?)

Just as she thought that, a message notification rang out in the silent room. She hastily got to checking her phone, but its sender was not Heisuke. The sender this time was Okita Souji.

----------------------------

Subject: Because it's dangerous

Sender: Okita-senpai

Message: You're a good kid, so you should stay at home

----------------------------

(……Okita-senpai is also saying this, what on earth is going on?)

Just as she was feeling baffled from what was on her cell phone, the sound of a a message notification rang in Chizuru's hands again.

----------------------------

Subject: (none)

Sender: Saito-senpai

Message: Regardless of what happens, stay where you are and don't move

----------------------------

Subject: It's alright [basically the tl here can be interpreted as 'it's fine', or 'no problems']

Sender: Harada-sensei

Message: Just bear for it a while longer, and keep staying at home

----------------------------

What could be learned from the text messages received was that something was happening to everyone. And the contents were almost the same, Not only were the contents were almost the same, they were all instructions for her to not leave her home… However, Chizuru was incapable of honestly staying home as everyone was saying. She grabbed her coat and hurried towards the entrance, not bothering with how her shoes were only half-on, and only wanted to open the [front] door and go outside. Accompanying the sound of being hit by the door, Chizuru was then pushed back into the inner entrance [uh, something like that?].

"——Why!? Why!"

Chizuru re-confirmed that the door was already unlocked again, and once again tried to open it, but the door remained motionless. It was as if someone was forcibly holding the door from outside, deliberately making it impossible for her to open the door.

Since that was the case, she could just use her body to press against the entrance with all of her strength to push it open. Just as Chizuru was about to do that, a voice spoke from the other side side of the door.

"Yukimura, I'm sorry… I cannot let you go outside."

"……This voice is Hijikata-sensei!? Why are you here…. that doesn't need to be mentioned now, what happened?"

She was pushing against the door while speaking to him, but it didn't work due to Hijikata's suppression from outside.

"Just lock up all the locks…… stay inside your home. After that…… Until one of says you can open the door, absolutely do not…… open it….. for anyone of us….."

Then Hijikata's voice disappeared midway. At the same time, the suppressing heaviness on the entrance hall also disappeared.

"Hijikata-sensei——!!"

Chizuru used all of her strength to push against the door, and the heavy door finally budged a bit, so she squeezed through the crack in the doorway that large enough for a single person to pass through and went outside.

Then what Chizuru saw was——.

"You've finally come out? My wife, you're late."

Dressed in a bright red Santa outfit, while also holding a large white bag and a bouquet with dozens of roses, was Kazama Chikage.

Then there was Toudou Heisuke, who was tightly holding onto Kazama's legs, Saito, who was grabbing Kazama's arms from behind him, and Okita, who was watching the two with a smile.

There was also Harada, who was sitting not too far away, looking a bit helpless, and Hijikata Toshizou, who was sitting against the door, motionless.

"Uh…what happened? Also, why is Kazama-senpai here?"

""Of course, I came to welcome you to this young master's Christmas party at the Kazama family home!" [I couldn't figure out how else to say this… lol.]

"Then everyone else is…"

"They were seemingly trying to prevent me from approaching you, but that wasn't able to stop me."

"Um…. did I make a promise with you…?"

"Of course this is a su-r-p-is-e [the tl had サ。プ。ラ。イ。ズ to accentuate "surprise" i guess]. However since you've come outside, doesn't that mean that you have already prepared to go out with me? Then just follow me——"

As Kazama spoke, he extended his hand towards Chizuru, and upon seeing this, Heisuke immediately ran over.

"Hold it——！ Don't joke around——！"

"I didn't expect that so many of us wouldn't be able to stop him…"

"His strength is still as outrageous as before."

With a serious expression, Saito tried to pull Kazama away from Chizuru. Okita muttered helplessly.

"Is is possible that everyone saying that there was something they were busy with today meant…"

"Ah, that's right! In order to prevent Kazama-senpai from coming here, we started monitoring him in the morning!"

"I-I hope you're not misunderstanding anything. We were monitoring Kazama, not your home."

"Wait a moment Harada-sensei. Even though you are resting, please come and help me me—"

"I'll leave the physical/hard work to you."

"Hey, Yukimura! We'll definitely drive Kazama away, so just stay at home and wait!"

"Ahahahahahaha!! Even if you struggle, it will all be futile! My sincere love is incapable of being stopped by anything! Surrender to my power of Christmas!"

With six adults arguing in front of house and making a racket, it was inevitable… that passers-by would stop and whisper, while people nearby would open up their windows to watch the fun…

"Please….. Please stop stop it——！！"

Because she was feeling heartbroken from this argument that seemed like it would never end… and more importantly, since Chizuru was more concerned about her neighbour's gazes, she therefore suggested holding a Christmas party inside her home, which finally got both sides to call a temporary truce.

"Wait a second, where did all of this food and decorations come from?"

"Of course, this is the result of the Kazama family's efforts, so be grateful."

"I'll say this beforehand, we didn't invite you, and simply couldn't leave you outside and bother/cause trouble for the neighbours."

"Didn't my wife ask everyone to come inside together?"

"Nn… Is this the inside of Yukimura's home…" "Well, if we had planned to find a place to hold the Christmas party from the beginning, there wouldn't have been that commotion. Speaking of which, who was the one to suggest it?"

"The person who said that they wanted to stop Kazama-senpai's plan, was Heisuke."

"Hey, wait a sec! Souji and Hajime-kun agreed too!"

"……You guys, just shut up. I am rarely able/You are seldom able to spend Christmas with my wife [no subject in this part so I don't know who is referring to whom here], so just enjoy this day and this moment."

"For Kazama to say such kind words… then let's just enjoy ourselves as much as we can. Got it? Yukimura?"

"Yes!"

「Merry Christmas！！」

Christmas 2016.

Chizuru, who originally had no plans, happily spent Christmas with everyone until deep in the night.

SS Finals - Melee: Chapter 3

Location: Inside Bus Characters: Tomoya, Hokuto, Keito, Eichi, Chiaki & Natsume

Eichi: If we were to use “L$” from the very beginning, then we would have too much of an advantage seeing how affluent we are.

The usage of “SSL$” only during the Qualifying Rounds allowed for a fair competition of skill between the idols.

We all started off on the same foot, at the same place, at the same time to see who could run the furthest – to see who could earn the most “SSL$” in that set period of time.

“SSL$” was a rule and a stage device to measure that.

In other words, the “SS” Administration Committee was measuring an idol’s worth based on ”how much they could earn”.

The more you can earn, the better the idol you are. Well, I suppose that is one truth behind our society that advocates for capitalism.

Keito: You look like you have the exact opposite opinion, Eichi.

Eichi: I understand the logic behind it. I think it’s easy to understand. Everyone has a different perception of how an idol’s worth should be measured, after all.

ES is a corporation that seeks profit and it’s much easier to understand than the other ambiguous concepts like money.

Much clearer to comprehend than love, beauty, dreams or splendour.

Keito: Hmph. We once simplified the worth of multicoloured idols and stated that those who won dreamfests were superior…

We don’t have the right to criticise them as we were the ones who created that violent system. Seeing myself being tied down by a similar system feels surprisingly unpleasant. I’ll reflect on that.

Eichi: What goes around comes around… Well, putting that aside.

The ES higher-ups might see the system in a simple-minded manner as something that judges the quality of idols fairly.

But it’s not like that in reality. The large sum of “SSL$” we worked hard to earn during the Qualifying Rounds…

Did not disappear like a mythical object the moment the Qualifying Rounds ended.

They were taken by the management and stashed away.

And it’s an astronomical amount that will make someone normal and sensible like Mashiro-kun dizzy.

Tomoya: …Is there something wrong with being normal?

Eichi: It’s a compliment. We tend to forget those sorts of general sensations, after all.

Commoners know the importance of money.

The business world is different, though – Celebrities were folding the excess amount of money they had into paper planes during the bubble economy.

Even one of those bank notes could help a starving orphan from somewhere in the world survive.

It’s a tragedy that money falls into the hands of those who don’t understand its worth.

Natsume: I’m pretty sure the rest of the world sees you as someone similAR, seeing as you built that ridiculously large building for idols using your own private funDS.

Eichi: How harsh. The historians of the future will decide whether or not I’m on the same level as the nouveau riche who burn stacks of banknotes to light their steps.

In any case, the large sum of money earned during the Qualifying Rounds will not simply fall into ES’ pocket.

Personally, I’d like to use it for ES’ future activities.

But that money will actually be split fairly as a reward for winning the “SS” Finals.

By fair I don’t mean every idol will get an equal amount, but it’ll be distributed based on the votes they get. Ten thousand yen for one vote, for example.

Tomoya: Uhh… winners will be decided based on the citizen’s votes, so the most votes a unit can get per round is about a hundred million.

And if one vote equals one thousand yen, then a hundred million votes would be…

Huh? It’ll basically be on the same level as the national budget!

Is it really okay for us to get that money?

Eichi: Hehe. You can also “save” those votes, remember? So it may be far-fetched, but it might even be possible to get more than a hundred million votes.

Hokuto: It’s not one vote per person, after all. Becoming a member of the support group will also allow them to have a hundred votes per round instead of one.

They’ll make a profit by probably making them pay a membership fee too. It’s just like a cult.

Keito: …I’ll say this as someone who is religious, but don’t make it sound like religion is innately bad. Many companies out there work based on a membership-based system.

It’s no different than paying a fee and being able to read as many books as you like. Fundamentally, anyway.

Tomoya: (Hasumi-senpai’s metaphors are ordinary and easy to understand.)

Eichi: Hehe. Ten thousand yen per vote is just an example, though. Well, the more votes you gain, the more money you’ll get in the end.

Hokuto: For the final winning team, that is.

Eichi: Yeah. Losing would mean you did all that work for nothing, so everyone would want to win, right?

Win and you’ll be in paradise. Lose and everything would be a waste of effort – that’s how the “SS” Finals work. If you stand on the side of the winners and receive that large sum of money then…

In terms of ES, who can arrange everything you’ll need for your idol activities with “L$”, your future activities will be much easier.

And you’ll leave a mark on history as a winner of “SS”.

You might even have enough power to go against the ES higher-ups or the management if you win “SS”.

Having both the funds and power is usually more than enough to make something a reality. I think that should be fairly easy to understand just by looking at me, though.

Tomoya: Yeah, I guess… That’s all you go on about, huh.

Natsume: Tomoya-kUN, is it just me or have you started sounding less and less impressed with the “EmperOR?

Welcome to our siDE! Let’s team up with Hokke-kun and create the “We Hate Eichi Tenshouin and His Guts AllianCE” ♪

Tomoya: Huh? If Hokuto-senpai’s in it, then count me in too!

Hokuto: Don’t just drag me into this out of nowhere.

Eichi: Right. If you make full use of your money, then it’ll also be a piece of cake to banish the people you hate from your life.

If you don’t like how ES does things, then you can buy their stocks and disband the current management. Shouting that you hate them and that you want them to disappear would do nothing.

If you have a large sum of money and the title of “SS” winners, then you might have your way.

Then all you have to do is to create an environment that will allow you to conduct your idol activities in your ideal manner.

Win “SS” and any wish of yours can come true.

…I might be exaggerating, but with money and power, it’s definitely possible to change the world – even if that change is slight.

I’m sure no one is young and foolish enough to think that the world can change if you pray strongly for it. “That” only works in children’s fairy tales.

Natsume: I think you’re looking down on human emotions, thouGH. WeLL, I know what you’re trying to sAY.

In order to make our dream a realiTY, we must obtain the Power that controls this realiTY.

That would be money and authoriTY. Win “SS” and you’ll gain both of those things, rigHT?

Eichi: Yeah. Well, that would be the case under normal circumstances.

Hokuto: ? What do you mean by that?

Eichi: I had no choice but to word it that way – There’s someone who’s trying to take the money with the power to change the world that we idols worked hard to get with our blood, sweat and tears.

A villain who is trying to make everything go down the drain.

Chiaki: …”Gatekeeper”, huh.

Eichi: As expected, your instincts are strong when it comes to things like this, “Ally of Justice”.

Chiaki: Don’t make fun of me. I don’t have the right to call myself that anymore… Anyway, I feel like everything has finally made sense.

You’re all probably aware as well, but there is a man called  “Gatekeeper”.

He climbed up to the leader position in the “SS” Administration Committee unnoticed and tied us down by giving us those “secret orders”.

No, he threatened us. I don’t know what “secret orders” the others had but…

They were punishments that specifically targeted our weaknesses.

Tenshouin, Hasumi, Sakuma, Mikejima-san and also Amagi-senpai too… They certainly weren’t people who would follow orders willingly, but it seems even they were tied down by those “secret orders”.

It’s obvious a despicable punishment that they could never go against was given to them.

What a Full-Stack Web Development Company Really Offers

In today’s fast-moving digital ecosystem, businesses don’t just need a website—they need a comprehensive digital solution that’s fast, functional, secure, and scalable. That’s where a Full-Stack Web Development Company comes in. From the moment your project is conceptualized to the final stages of deployment and beyond, a full-stack agency delivers an all-in-one solution for both the front-end and back-end of your digital presence.

Whether you’re launching a startup or scaling an enterprise product, understanding what these companies actually offer can help you make smarter, long-term decisions.

Front-End Development: Your Digital First Impression

The front end is what your users see and interact with—buttons, navigation, layouts, animations, and forms. A full-stack web development company ensures that your front end is not just beautiful but also functional across devices and browsers.

They work with technologies like:

HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js

UI/UX best practices for intuitive and accessible design

Beyond just building interfaces, they align your visual identity with usability. You get interfaces that convert, retain users, and reflect your brand story effectively.

Back-End Development: The Engine Behind the Experience

Behind every user action is a set of processes that connect your website to a server, database, or third-party service. That’s the back end, and it’s where a full-stack team shines.

They handle:

Server setup and database design

APIs and system integrations

Authentication and security layers

Logic for handling business operations (e.g., shopping carts, booking systems, dashboards)

By using powerful languages and frameworks like Node.js, Django, Laravel, Ruby on Rails, or .NET, full-stack developers ensure that your application is fast, secure, and scalable from day one.

Database Management: Organizing Your Digital Assets

Databases are essential for storing and retrieving user data, product information, analytics, and more. A full-stack web development company is adept at choosing and managing the right type of database for your project—whether it’s a relational database like PostgreSQL and MySQL or a NoSQL solution like MongoDB.

They not only build your data architecture but also manage:

Query optimization

Data backup and recovery

Scalable solutions for growing user traffic

This ensures your digital infrastructure remains agile and responsive even as your user base expands.

DevOps and Deployment: Going Live Smoothly

Launching a website isn’t as simple as clicking a button. A full-stack company also manages:

Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)

Server provisioning

Cloud hosting on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud

Monitoring tools for uptime and performance

They streamline the process so your site not only launches smoothly but stays stable and updated post-launch.

Security & Compliance: Protecting What Matters

Security breaches can cost brands not just financially but reputationally. Full-stack web development companies implement proactive security measures:

SSL encryption

OWASP-compliant practices

Secure user authentication

GDPR and data protection compliance

With regular audits and automated security checks, they help you protect user data and avoid potential liabilities.

Maintenance & Scaling: Supporting Growth

Once the site is live, you’ll still need support. A professional full-stack company doesn’t walk away after deployment. Instead, it offers:

Ongoing performance monitoring

Bug fixes and upgrades

Server scaling

Feature enhancements

Whether you want to add a new product line, launch in a new country, or optimize your existing site’s speed, they’re your long-term partners in success.

End-to-End Consultation and Strategy

Beyond technical skills, what sets apart a true full-stack web development company is its ability to align tech with business strategy. They help you:

Define user personas

Map digital journeys

Prioritize features

Choose the right tools for your budget and scale

From MVP to enterprise product, your web partner acts as a digital co-pilot—helping you stay relevant in an ever-changing digital economy.

Conclusion

In essence, a Full-Stack Web Development Company offers far more than coding skills. It offers a strategic, end-to-end partnership to build, run, and grow your digital presence. From intuitive front-end experiences to robust back-end systems, database architecture, DevOps, and ongoing maintenance, a full-stack partner ensures that every layer of your website is aligned with performance and business outcomes.

If you're looking to build a resilient, future-proof digital platform, partnering with a Web Development Company that covers the full stack is one of the smartest investments you can make.

Affordable Website Design Services in Mississauga: What to Expect

Introduction

If you're a small business owner in Mississauga looking for website design Mississauga services, you’ve probably noticed a wide range of pricing, from shockingly cheap to eye-wateringly expensive. How do you know what’s fair, and what should you realistically expect from an affordable service?

This guide breaks down the true costs of professional website design Mississauga businesses can rely on, what’s included (and what’s not), and how to avoid getting burned by "too good to be true" deals.

1. What Does "Affordable" Really Mean in Mississauga?

Price Ranges for Professional Websites

Service Tier

Price Range

Best For

Basic Template Site

$500 - $1,500

Brochure sites, simple service pages

Custom Small Business Site

$2,000 - $5,000

Local shops, restaurants, and consultants

Advanced CMS Sites

$5,000 - $10,000+

E-commerce, membership portals

Key Insight: Truly professional designers in Mississauga rarely charge under $2,000 for a custom site—anything cheaper often uses templates with hidden limitations.

What’s Typically Included:

✔ Mobile-responsive design ✔ 5-10 page website ✔ Basic SEO setup ✔ Contact form integration ✔ 1-2 rounds of revisions

2. The Hidden Costs to Watch For

Many "affordable" quotes exclude essentials:

Common Add-On Fees

Domain & Hosting ($100-$300/year)

Premium Plugins (e.g., booking systems, security)

Content Creation ($50-$150/page if outsourced)

SEO Optimization (basic vs. advanced differences)

Red Flag: Agencies that don’t mention these upfront.

3. Template vs. Custom Design: What You’re Really Paying For

Template-Based Pros & Cons

✔ Pros: Faster launch, lower cost ✖ Cons: Looks generic, hard to scale

Custom Design Advantages

✔ Unique branding that stands out ✔ Built for your specific business goals ✔ Easier to add features later

Local Example: A Streetsville bakery saw 40% more online orders after switching from a template to a custom-designed site.

4. How Mississauga Agencies Keep Costs Down (Without Sacrificing Quality)

Reputable designers use smart strategies:

✔ Modular Design Systems – Reusable components for faster builds ✔ Local Partnerships – Discounted hosting/software through bulk deals ✔ Streamlined Processes – Clear questionnaires to reduce revision rounds

Smart Question to Ask: "What’s your design-to-launch timeline?" (4-6 weeks is typical).

5. What You Should Never Compromise On

Even with budget constraints, ensure your package includes:

✔ Mobile Optimization – 60%+ of Mississauga traffic is mobile ✔ Basic SEO – Title tags, meta descriptions, image optimization ✔ CMS Access – Ability to update content yourself ✔ SSL Certificate – Critical for security & Google rankings

6. Where to Find Reliable Affordable Designers in Mississauga

Best Local Options:

Freelance Designers (Upwork, LinkedIn) – Best for simple sites

Boutique Agencies – Balance of price/personalization

Student Designers (Sheridan College partnerships) – Budget option

Warning: Avoid overseas "unlimited revisions" deals—time zone and communication issues often lead to frustration.

Final Thoughts

An affordable website design Mississauga service should deliver professional results without cutting corners on essentials. By understanding what goes into pricing—and what questions to ask—you’ll find a solution that fits both your budget and business needs.

For transparent pricing and local expertise, explore LetzMarket where quality meets affordability.

How to Get Free Steam Keys in 2025

For PC gamers around the world, few things are more exciting than scoring a new title—especially when it’s completely free. Whether you’re hunting for indie gems or blockbuster releases, free Steam keys offer a legit way to build your game library without spending a dime.

Ecommerce Website Development Cost for Jewelry Stores in India

What You Really Need to Know

When Riya, a third-generation jeweler in Jaipur, decided to take her family business online, she was overwhelmed.

“I just wanted a website that looked elegant, showed off our craftsmanship, and helped us reach customers beyond our neighborhood,” she said. “But I kept hearing wildly different prices — ₹20,000, ₹2 lakhs, even ₹10 lakhs!”

So, how much does an ecommerce website for a jewelry store actually cost in India? If you’re wondering the same, you’re not alone.

Let’s break it down.

💡 Why Jewelry Ecommerce is Booming in India

Before we talk costs, here’s the big picture: Jewelry buying has moved online — not entirely, but significantly. Shoppers want to browse catalogues, compare prices, and even customize bangles or rings before they step into a store (if at all).

And in a world where presentation is everything, having a polished, high-performance jewellery website design and development plan can give your brand a competitive edge.

🛠️ What Factors Influence Ecommerce Website Development Cost?

Think of building a jewelry ecommerce website like designing a piece of bespoke jewelry. The price depends on the quality of materials, the complexity of design, and the level of customization. Similarly, here are the main factors that affect cost:

1. Design Customization

A simple template-based site might cost ₹20,000 to ₹50,000. But a custom-designed website that showcases your brand aesthetics (think: gold tones, elegant fonts, gemstone-focused layout) will likely cost between ₹75,000 and ₹2,00,000+.

2. Product Management Features

Do you have 20 products or 2,000? Do you need variant options like size, metal type, engraving, etc.? The more complex your product catalog, the more robust your jewellery website development solution needs to be — which affects cost.

3. Payment & Security Integration

Secure payment gateways (Razorpay, Paytm, Stripe, etc.), SSL certificates, and data protection layers add to the cost, but they’re non-negotiable for ecommerce success.

4. Virtual Try-On & Customization Tools

Want customers to try earrings on virtually or personalize rings? These features often require advanced jewelry ecommerce software integrations or third-party APIs, pushing costs up by ₹50,000–₹1,00,000+.

5. Mobile Optimization

Over 80% of jewelry searches start on a mobile device. Responsive mobile design is standard now — not an add-on. Hidden Costs You Should Be Aware Of

Many jewelers don’t consider the ongoing costs of:

Domain & Hosting (~₹3,000–₹10,000/year)

Website maintenance (~₹5,000–₹25,000/year)

SEO & marketing (~₹10,000+/month depending on strategy)

App development (if scaling)

A good development partner (like Listany) will help you plan for these right from the start.

🧠 Real Insights from the Field

We’ve worked with dozens of Indian jewelers — from high-end bridal boutiques to family-owned gold shops — and here’s what we’ve learned:

Speed matters: If your website takes more than 3 seconds to load, you’re losing customers.

Clarity sells: Clear categories like “Diamond Rings,” “Temple Jewelry,” “Bangles under ₹20,000” perform much better.

Mobile-first wins: Mobile users are often impulse buyers. A slick mobile experience means more conversions.

Most importantly?

Your website should feel like your store. It should reflect your values, style, and craftsmanship. And that’s where jewellery website design and development becomes more than just code — it becomes storytelling.

🧩 Choosing the Right Development Partner

There are hundreds of web designers out there. So why do many jewelry brands choose Listany?

Because we specialize in jewelry ecommerce. Our team understands product filtering by karat, metal types, pricing slabs, engraving tools, virtual try-on integrations, and more.

Whether you need a basic store to start or a full-featured jewelry ecommerce software suite, we’re here to scale with you.

✅ Final Word: Don’t Just Think Cost — Think Value

Sure, the numbers matter. But what matters more is how your website supports your business goals.

Ask yourself:

Will my site help me attract new customers?

Can it handle festive season traffic?

Is it SEO-friendly so I show up on Google?

Does it build trust with buyers?

If the answer is yes, your investment is already paying off.

How to Make Your WordPress Website Secure and Hack-Proof ?

Your WordPress website is more than just a digital address—it's your brand’s online identity, a lead generation tool, and a customer engagement platform. But it also comes with responsibility. With WordPress powering over 40% of the web, it’s a popular target for cybercriminals.

The good news? You can take simple but effective steps to secure your WordPress site and keep it safe from hackers, malware, and data breaches.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to secure your WordPress site like a pro. And if you’d rather leave it to the experts, a reliable web design company in Udaipur can set it all up for you.

Why WordPress Security Matters

A hacked website can lead to:

Stolen customer data

Lost SEO rankings

Site downtime

Damaged reputation

Financial loss

Whether you run a personal blog or an eCommerce store, site security is non-negotiable. Prevention is always better—and cheaper—than cure.

Step 1: Use a Reliable Hosting Provider

Your website’s security starts at the server level. Choose a hosting provider that offers:

Malware scanning

Firewall protection

Daily backups

DDoS attack prevention

SSL certificates

Many WordPress-specific hosting services offer built-in security features that make this step much easier.

Step 2: Install a Security Plugin

Security plugins help monitor your site and block threats in real time. Top options include: PluginFeaturesWordfenceFirewall, malware scan, login securityiThemes SecurityFile monitoring, two-factor loginSucuriFirewall + CDN + malware cleanup

These tools help you detect vulnerabilities before hackers do.

Step 3: Keep Everything Updated

One of the most common reasons for WordPress hacks is outdated software. Always:

Update your WordPress core

Update themes and plugins

Remove unused or outdated plugins

Enable auto-updates or set a reminder to check weekly.

Step 4: Use Strong Login Credentials

Weak passwords and usernames like "admin" are an open invitation for hackers.

Secure login best practices:

Use a unique username (never "admin")

Use long, complex passwords

Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

Limit login attempts with a plugin

Some security plugins even offer CAPTCHA on login forms to prevent brute-force attacks.

Step 5: Enable HTTPS with SSL

An SSL certificate encrypts the data transferred between your server and your visitors. Plus, Google ranks HTTPS sites higher in search results.

Most hosting providers offer free SSL certificates. Once installed, use plugins like Really Simple SSL to force HTTPS across your site.

Step 6: Set User Roles Carefully

If your site allows multiple users (e.g., writers, editors, admins), assign user roles carefully to limit access to backend features.

WordPress roles include:

Administrator (full control)

Editor (edit & publish others’ posts)

Author (can publish own posts)

Contributor (write but can’t publish)

Subscriber (read-only)

Giving full access to untrained users increases security risk.

Step 7: Backup Regularly

Backups are your safety net. If your site gets hacked or corrupted, a recent backup allows you to restore everything quickly.

Use backup plugins like:

UpdraftPlus

BackupBuddy

BlogVault

Set up automatic backups and store them off-site (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).

Step 8: Disable File Editing

By default, WordPress allows admins to edit theme and plugin files from the dashboard. Hackers can use this access to inject malicious code.

Disable this by adding the following line to your wp-config.php file:

phpCopy

Edit

define( 'DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true );

This small tweak can prevent massive damage.

Step 9: Monitor Activity Logs

Activity logs help you track what’s happening behind the scenes. If something breaks or gets changed, you’ll know who did it and when.

Use plugins like:

WP Activity Log

Simple History

Great for multi-user websites, agencies, and eCommerce sites.

Step 10: Hire a WordPress Security Expert

If security isn’t your strength—or if your site handles sensitive data—it’s wise to hire professionals. A skilled WordPress Development Company in Udaipur can audit your site, set up best practices, and monitor ongoing threats.

They’ll ensure:

Your database is secure

Plugins/themes are safe and optimized

Login systems are reinforced

The site performs fast without vulnerabilities

It’s a one-time setup that delivers long-term peace of mind.

Bonus Tips: Quick Wins for WordPress Security

✅ Rename the default login URL (/wp-admin) using a plugin like WPS Hide Login

✅ Use cloud-based firewalls like Cloudflare for an extra layer of protection

✅ Restrict file permissions (e.g., 755 for folders, 644 for files)

✅ Disable XML-RPC if not in use (it can be a gateway for brute-force attacks)

✅ Regularly scan your site using Sucuri’s free scanner

Final Thoughts

Your website is your brand’s digital asset—protecting it should be a top priority. Thankfully, WordPress makes it easy to lock things down, especially when combined with reliable plugins and smart practices.

A professionally designed website can be the turning point in getting more customers and enhancing your revenues. For Patna-based businesses, hiring a professional Website Designing Company in Patna can provide the expertise as well as local experience to design a website that reflects your business objectives and appeals to your targeted customers.

Why Your Business Needs a Professional Website?

A website is your virtual storefront. As with a brick-and-mortar store, if your website looks good and runs well, it will make a lasting impression on potential customers. Conversely, a poorly designed website will push people away. A professional Website Designing Company in Patna knows local market conditions and customer sentiment, so that your site will attract the right people.

Here's why a professional website is important:

First Impressions Are Everything – When clients come to your website, they get an opinion about your company in a matter of seconds. A good-looking website provides a good first impression.

24/7 Availability – In contrast to brick-and-mortar shops, a website is available at all times, allowing prospective customers to browse and shop whenever it suits them.

Credibility Boost – A professional site lends your company a credible look, making your customers feel safe and confident about your brand.

The Ultimate Guide to E-commerce Payment Processing: Secure Payment Solutions & Online Payment Gateway Canada

Introduction: Let’s Talk About Getting Paid—The Smart Way

So you’ve built a slick online store, your products are amazing, your site looks sharp, and traffic is coming in. But wait—how are you going to get paid?

Welcome to the world of E-commerce payment processing, where the rubber meets the road (or the dollars meet your digital wallet). Whether you're a solo entrepreneur in Toronto or a growing Shopify store in Vancouver, having the right online payment gateway in Canada is non-negotiable.

But don't stress. In this guide, we’ll break down what e-commerce payment services are, how they work, and what to look for in secure payment solutions that won’t make your customers (or you) sweat.

What is E-commerce Payment Processing (And Why Should You Care)?

Let’s keep it simple. E-commerce payment processing is the system that handles online transactions. When someone clicks "buy now" on your site, this system captures their payment details, validates them, moves the money, and notifies you that the payment went through.

That’s a lot happening in milliseconds. Cool, right?

Without reliable payment processing, your online business can't function—end of story.

Meet Your Digital Cashier: Online Payment Gateways in Canada

Think of an online payment gateway as your store’s digital cashier. It's the technology that authorizes and securely processes credit card, debit card, and digital wallet payments. In Canada, you’ve got several local and international providers—but not all are created equal.

Why Location Matters

Choosing a Canadian-based gateway ensures faster processing times, better support in your time zone, and compliance with local banking regulations.

Popular Online Payment Gateway Canada Options:

Moneris – Homegrown and trusted by thousands of Canadian merchants.

Stripe – Developer-friendly and ultra-scalable.

PayPal – Everyone knows it, and it’s super convenient.

Square – Great for both online and offline sales.

Helcim – Transparent pricing and made for Canadian businesses.

Each has its strengths depending on your business model, so think about your priorities—cost, speed, features, or all of the above.

What Makes Payment Solutions “Secure”?

Cybersecurity is no joke. Customers want to know their card info is safe, and so do you.

Secure payment solutions must include:

PCI DSS compliance (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)

SSL certificates for encryption

Tokenization (swapping card data with unique tokens)

Fraud detection tools like 3D Secure, CVV validation, etc.

The goal? No sleepless nights worrying about hacks, breaches, or chargebacks.

Pro tip: Always display your site's security badges—customers do notice.

Features to Look for in E-commerce Payment Services

Okay, now you know what you need. But what should you want? Let’s look at features that make e-commerce payment services smooth and scalable.

1. Multi-Currency Support

Selling beyond Canada? Make sure your gateway supports USD, GBP, EUR, and more.

2. Mobile Optimization

Your customers are buying from phones and tablets. Your checkout process must work flawlessly on every screen.

3. Subscription Billing

If you offer memberships, SaaS, or product subscriptions, recurring billing is a must-have.

4. Easy Integration

Look for gateways that play nice with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, or whatever platform you’re using.

5. Fast Payouts

Cash flow is king. Some services deposit daily; others take 3–7 days. Choose based on your needs.

The Cost Factor: What Are You Really Paying For?

Ah, fees—the necessary evil of doing business online.

Typical charges include:

Transaction fees (e.g., 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction)

Monthly service fees

Chargeback fees

Cross-border fees (if you sell internationally)

But remember, the cheapest option isn’t always the best. Weigh the cost against features, reliability, and support. Sometimes, peace of mind is worth the extra percentage point.

How to Set Up Your Payment Gateway (Without Breaking a Sweat)

Getting started doesn’t have to be a tech nightmare. Most gateways guide you through the process. Here's a quick checklist:

Sign up with your preferred provider

Submit your business documentation (ID, bank info, etc.)

Integrate with your e-commerce platform (usually via plugin or API)

Test the checkout process

Go live and start accepting payments!

If you're using Shopify or WooCommerce, integration is often plug-and-play.

Real Talk: Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ignoring mobile users – A clunky mobile checkout can tank conversions.

Not reviewing fees – Surprise charges are never fun.

Skipping fraud tools – A single attack can wreck your reputation.

Delaying payout reviews – Make sure your payment schedule aligns with your business needs.

Not offering multiple payment methods – Customers love choices: credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.

Future-Proof Your Business with Smart Payment Tools

As e-commerce grows, so does the need for smarter, faster, more secure solutions. Modern payment platforms now offer:

AI-powered fraud detection

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options

Crypto payment support (for the adventurous!)

These aren’t just nice-to-haves anymore—they’re competitive edges.

Final Thoughts: Payment Processing is More Than Just Tech

Here’s the deal—your e-commerce payment processing system isn’t just a back-end feature. It’s part of your customer experience. When it’s fast, smooth, and secure, people buy more, trust more, and come back for more.

From choosing the right online payment gateway in Canada to implementing E-commerce Payment Services, it’s all about giving your business the foundation it needs to thrive.

Your store deserves more than just a “Buy Now” button. It deserves a payment process that works as hard as you do.

Why Essl Attendance Machines Are the Smart Choice for Modern Workplaces 

In today's fast-paced business world, keeping track of employee attendance by hand takes a lot of time, and can be hacked or used in the wrong way.  Keeping accurate records of attendance is important whether you're in charge of a small group of people or a large business.  Right there is, where the Essl attendance machine really shines.  This technology makes it easier to manage employee check-ins, by combining biometric verification with cloud-based reporting. This means that there is no need for buddy punching or the hassle of keeping records by hand. 

At SBJ Store, we have a wide range of reliable SSL attendance solutions, that are made to meet the needs of today's businesses.  Essl offers the best efficiency and safety for any business setting, from fingerprint-based systems to advanced face recognition terminals. This includes offices, schools, factories, and government agencies. 

Key Benefits of Using Essl Attendance Machines 

Essl is known as a reliable brand when it comes to biometric and access control systems.  The main strengths of the Essl attendance machine are that it works well, lasts a long time, and can be changed to fit different needs.  These devices are made to handle large amounts of data, while keeping your information safe, by using fingerprint, RFID, or face recognition.  This means that employees can clock in or out instantly, with no lines, delays, or mistakes. 

Real-time data sync with attendance software is one of the best features.  With just a few clicks, managers can make automated reports, keep track of employees' leave patterns, and make sure, employees are on time.  A lot of models come with Wi-Fi, LAN, and USB support already built in, which makes installation, and setup easy in many places.  Some systems can even be accessed from afar, which is great for companies with distributed teams or hybrid work models.

SSL Cert Automation

SSL/TLS certificates are absolutely vital to the web. Yes, even your homelab, even if everything is local-only. I wholeheartedly recommend buying a domain for your homelab, as they can be had for ~$5/yr or less depending on the TLD (top-level domain) you choose. Obviously a .com domain is going to be more expensive, but others like .xyz are super affordable, and it makes a lot of things a whole lot easier. I recommend Cloudflare or Porkbun as your registrar; I've also used Namecheap and they're good but lack API access for small accounts. And please, PLEASE for the love of god DO NOT USE GODADDY. EVER.

First of all, why is cert automation even important? Most certificates you will purchase are issued for a one year period, so you only need to worry about renewal once a year, that's not too bad right? Well, that's all changing very soon. With issuers like Letsencrypt ending expiry emails, and the push to further shorten cert lifetime, automation is all the more needed. Not to mention Letsencrypt is free so there is very little reason not to use them (or a similar issuer).

"Okay, you've convinced me. But how???" Well, I'm glad you asked. By far the absolute easiest way is to use a reverse proxy that does all the work for you. Simply set up Caddy, Traefik, Nginx Proxy Manager, etc. and the appropriate provider plugin (if you're using DNS challenge, more on that later), and you're good to go. Everything you host will go through the proxy, which handles SSL certificate provisioning, renewal, and termination for you without needing to lift a finger. This is how a lot of people do it, and there's nothing wrong with doing it this way. However, it may not be the best solution depending on the complexity of your lab.

If you know a thing or two about managing SSL certificates you might be thinking about just running your own certificate authority. That does make it easier, you can make the certs expire whenever you want! Woo, 100 year certificates! Except not really, because many browsers/devices will balk at certificates with unrealistic lifetimes. Then you also have to install the cert authority on any and all client devices, docker containers, etc. It gets to be more of a pain than it's worth, especially when getting certs from an actual trusted CA is so easy. Indeed I used to do this, but when the certs did need to be renewed it was a right pain in the ass.

My lab consists of 6 physical computers, 3 are clustered with each other and all of them talk to the others for various things. Especially for the proxmox cluster, having a good certificate strategy is important because they need to be secure and trust each other. It's not really something I can reasonably slap a proxy in front of and expect it to be reliable. But unfortunately, there's not really any good out of the box solutions for exactly what I needed, which is automatic renewal and deployment to physical machines depending on the applications on each that need the certs.

So I made one myself. It's pretty simple really, I have a modified certbot docker container which uses a DNS challenge to provision or renew a wildcard certificate for my domain. Then an Ansible playbook runs on all the physical hosts (or particularly important VMs) to update the new cert and restart the application(s) as needed. And since it's running on a schedule, it helps eliminate the chance of accidental misconfiguration if I'm messing with something else in the lab. This way I apply the same cert to everything, and the reverse proxy will also use this same certificate for anything it serves.

The DNS challenge is important, because it's required to get a wildcard cert. You could provision certs individually without it, but the server has to be exposed to the internet which is not ideal for many backend management type stuff like Proxmox. You need to have API access to your registrar/DNS provider in order to accomplish this, otherwise you need to add the DNS challenge manually which just defeats the whole purpose. Basically certbot request a certificate, and the issuer says, "Oh yeah? If you really own this domain, then put this random secret in there for me to see." So it does, using API access, and the issuer trusts that you own the domain and gives you the requested certificate. This type of challenge is ideal for getting certs for things that aren't on the public internet.

This sure was a lot of words for a simple solution, huh. Well, more explanation never hurt anyone, probably. The point of this post is to show that while SSL certificates can be very complicated, for hobby use it's actually really easy to set up automation even for more complex environments. It might take a bit of work up front, but the comfort and security you get knowing you can sit back and not worry about anything and your systems will keep on trucking is pretty valuable.
