Website design & hosting for mycology

The people who built Culture Cave will build your site

Culture Cave was designed, built and is hosted by Enoki Hosting. They do website design and managed hosting for mycology brands, and they build custom apps. If you want a site of your own rather than a storefront on somebody else's marketplace, this is the page for that.

Worth being clear about: this is not the same thing as opening a Culture Cave store. A Culture Cave storefront puts you inside this marketplace. Enoki Hosting builds you your own separate website, on your own domain, with your own checkout. Plenty of vendors do both.

You are already looking at their work

Every page on Culture Cave is written by hand and served as a static file. There is no theme, no page builder and no plugin stack sitting between you and the vendors. That is why the site behaves the way it does when you click through the marketplace, and it is why nothing breaks overnight because a plugin updated itself.

The same studio does the design, the build, the hosting and the ongoing changes, so there is one place to email when something needs doing.

What you get

A site designed for your brand, built from scratch, then somebody else's job to keep running.

Designed for your brand

Not a template with your logo dropped in. The layout, the type and the colour are built around what you actually sell.

Measured in milliseconds

Hand written pages served from enterprise NVMe cloud. No database query, no plugin chain, nothing to wait for.

You never log in

No dashboard, no updates to install, no plugin that broke overnight. You send a change and it gets made.

A real shop

Catalogue, variants, stock, discount codes and checkout wired to your own payment processor.

Your own phone app

Shop plans include an app for your store that installs from your own domain, with no app store queue.

Made for mycology

Growers, spore and culture vendors, grow shops, labs, equipment sellers and mushroom food brands. Work outside mycology is taken too.

One build fee, then one monthly

Pay annually and you pay for ten months instead of twelve. Thirty minutes of content changes are included every month on every plan.

What the same job costs elsewhere

Market rates, not quotes. A cheaper site is genuinely possible if you are willing to do the admin yourself.

The parts that are not sales copy
  • Starter has a twelve month minimum, because the build is fronted and charged at $99.
  • Build scope is fixed. A whole new section later gets quoted separately rather than absorbed.
  • You get no backend access. That is deliberate and it is what keeps the monthly where it is, but if you want to log in and edit pages yourself this is the wrong service.
  • The figures above are market rates gathered from published pricing, not quotes anyone gave for this exact job.

Common questions

Do I have to be a Culture Cave vendor to use them?
No. Enoki Hosting is a separate website studio. Culture Cave is simply one of the sites they built and host. You can hire them whether or not you have a storefront here.
Do they only work with mycology businesses?
That is the niche, and it is where they are most useful because they already know the products and the compliance language. Work outside mycology is taken too.
How long does a build take?
About a week for a typical site, once the content and images are in hand.
Can they build an app rather than a website?
Yes, custom apps are part of what they do, and Shop plans include a phone app for your store as standard.
Where do I enquire?
Go to enoki.host and use the form there. Say what you sell and roughly how many pages you think it takes, and you get a straight answer on which plan fits.

Enoki Hosting is an independent website design and hosting studio and the builder of this marketplace. Plan prices shown are Enoki's own and are not Culture Cave vendor fees. Questions about Culture Cave itself: info@culturecave.store
