What's better than Etsy?

In the face of limitations posed by traditional retail, artisans and creators have turned to the digital realm, constructing their own online havens to showcase and sell their crafts. This shift towards e-commerce has sparked a boom in platforms catering specifically to the needs of makers.

Among these, Shopify stands out as a premier choice for artisans seeking greater autonomy and customization than what Etsy might provide. With its robust features and intuitive interface, Shopify enables creators to build and manage their online stores seamlessly, tailored to their unique brand identity.

Big Cartel, another platform, offers a simplistic yet effective solution for makers looking to establish their online presence with minimal fuss. It caters to smaller businesses and independent designers, providing a user-friendly platform to showcase and sell their products.

For those seeking a more visually appealing and design-centric approach, Squarespace and Wix offer customizable templates and advanced design tools. These platforms empower makers to create visually stunning online stores that reflect their creativity and style.

Ecwid by Lightspeed is a versatile solution that integrates seamlessly with existing websites, providing an additional sales channel for makers without the need to create a separate online store. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for businesses looking to expand their reach.
