SixRock Munitions — DTC ammunition, WooCommerce
Co-founded an ammunition manufacturer and built its direct-to-consumer storefront on WordPress and WooCommerce. Ran the site as a production commerce property, not a brochure.
The constraint
Google and Meta both restrict ammunition advertising, so paid acquisition was never on the table. The store also had to handle age-gating, compliance copy on product pages, state-by-state shipping restrictions, and payment-processor risk — real operational problems, not footnotes.
What I owned
The storefront end to end: product page builds, checkout and inventory integrations, seasonal landing pages, plugin updates and maintenance, plus all SEO and digital marketing. Copy, structure, internal linking, and the measurement loop.
The result
Online sales grew 300% over 24 months, with no paid advertising available. Driven by on-page optimization, product page structure, copy work, and internal linking.
What I'd do differently
Instrument it properly from day one. I measured structural change against a baseline rather than running a real experimentation cadence — that is the gap I'm closing next, and I'd rather say so than pretend otherwise.
