Abstract: This study aims to analyze the problems experienced by artisans in Alaminos City in selling their crafts and seeks to solve them through the creation of an online platform called MadeByHands. This ecommerce project seeks to improve the marketing of bamboo products (E-Kawayan), resin and shell handicrafts, and at the same time promote economic growth as well as cultural awareness. A descriptive-developmental research design as well as Agile principles was incorporated to put into practice an iterative and user centered approach to system design. Their evaluation of the platform based on ISO 25010 proved its usability and usefulness as well as its general acceptance. From the results of the evaluation, e-commerce platforms have the capacity to enhance market penetration and the traditional craft industry. Suggestions are to further develop the platform for mobile use and add modern analytics for market intelligence.
