Websites for independent makers & ARTISAN BUSINESSES

Essential & Premium Plans · Clean Upcoming Location Updates · Optional Online Shop

Each website is designed to give your business a proper online home, help customers find you more easily, and make it simple to keep your upcoming markets, pop-ups and events up to date.

Every plan includes your own back office login so you can manage a polished “Where to Find Us” section and upload fresh images to your gallery. If you want more pages, more image capacity, priority support and an auto-updating next event highlight on your homepage, our Premium plan gives you a stronger event-led setup.

Why rely on social media alone when your business could have a proper online home?

Social media is useful for sharing updates and keeping in touch with customers, but it should not be the only place your business lives online. Posts get buried, new customers struggle to find key information, and many people still look for a proper website before they feel fully confident buying.

A website gives your business one clear place for your products, your story, your contact details, your gallery, and your upcoming locations. It makes your business feel more established, helps customers trust you more quickly, and gives people a simple link they can return to again and again.

For independent makers and artisan businesses especially, a website is not just about looking professional. It helps customers find you again after a craft fair or pop-up event, check where you will be next, and eventually shop from you between events too. With our “Where to Find Us” feature, that section stays focused on what is coming up next instead of becoming a messy archive of old dates.

Why this works FOR YOUR BUSINESS

This website plan is designed for businesses that sell in person, rely on visual products, and want a more professional way to stay visible between events and turn first-time buyers into repeat customers.

Look more established

A proper website gives your business a more polished and trustworthy presence than relying on social media profiles alone.

Help customers find you again

After someone buys from you once, your website gives them an easy way to return, check where you will be next, and shop with confidence again.

One simple place for everything

Your products, images, business story, locations and contact details all live in one clear place instead of being scattered across posts.

Be found on Google

A website gives your business the chance to appear in Google searches and reach people who would never have found you through social media alone.

Update your site yourself

Your own back office login lets you manage your upcoming locations and upload gallery images without needing to touch code or rely on us for every small change.

Keep things tidy as you grow

The locations feature is designed to stay clean and forward-looking, with expired events hidden from the public website so the page never feels cluttered.

Why your customers WILL FEEL MORE CONFIDENT

A website is not only useful for your business. It also makes buying from you feel clearer, easier and more reassuring for your customers.

When customers can see your products, read about your business, find your contact details, and check your upcoming locations in one place, they are naturally more likely to trust your brand and purchase with confidence.

More trust

A proper website helps your business feel real, established and easier to buy from than a profile page alone.

Clear contact details

Customers know where to go if they have a question, need support, or want to ask about an order.

Easy access to updates

Your latest locations and images are always in one place rather than hidden in older posts.

Confidence before buying

Refund, delivery or collection information can be shown clearly to make people feel more secure before making a purchase.

Simple repeat visits

Customers who find you once can return again later without needing to search social media or remember where they first saw you.

Future online shopping

If you add the shop upgrade later, your website becomes an easy route for repeat customers to order between events too.

What is included IN THE WEBSITE PLAN

Choose Essential for a simple, polished online presence, or Premium for more pages, more imagery and a stronger event-led homepage experience.

Essential or Premium

Essential includes a 5 page website, while Premium gives you up to 8 pages for businesses that want more room to grow and explain what they offer.

Back Office Login

Your own login gives you access to manage your website content yourself without needing to edit code or send every small change over to us.

Image Gallery

Essential includes up to 40 gallery images, while Premium includes up to 80, giving more visual businesses extra room to showcase products properly.

Where to Find Us

Display up to 4 upcoming locations at a time in a clean, customer-friendly format, with Essential allowing up to 2 images per location and Premium allowing up to 4.

A website does more than LOOK GOOD

For independent makers and artisan businesses, a website is not just a brochure. It helps customers discover you, trust you, return to you and eventually buy from you more than once.

A flexible website plan built for independent makers

This website plan is designed specifically for artisan businesses, independent makers, bakers, florists, jewellery brands, food businesses and other product-based small businesses that want a more professional online presence without a large upfront investment.

This section is designed to stay focused on upcoming events only, helping your site feel more polished and easier to browse.

Frequently ASKED

A few common questions about the independent maker website plans, the pricing model and how the optional upgrades work.

Who is this website plan designed for?

This plan is ideal for independent makers, artisan businesses, handmade brands, bakers, florists, jewellers, artists, food businesses and other small product-based businesses that sell in person and want a stronger online presence.

Why is a website better than just using social media?

Social media is useful, but posts get buried and key information can be hard to find. A website gives your business a permanent online home where customers can find your products, your story, your contact details, and your latest upcoming locations all in one place.

What is the difference between Essential and Premium?

Essential includes a 5 page website, up to 40 gallery images, and up to 2 images per location post. Premium includes up to 8 pages, up to 80 gallery images, up to 4 images per location post, priority support, and an auto-updating next event homepage highlight.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. Both plans include your own back office login so you can update your upcoming locations, upload gallery images, and manage the content yourself.

How many locations can I show at once?

You can display up to 4 upcoming active locations on the public website at a time. This keeps the section clean, easy to browse, and focused on what is coming up next.

What happens to expired events?

Expired events are automatically hidden from the public website once their date has passed. They still remain visible in the dashboard so you can edit, reuse or delete them.

How many location entries can I store in total?

You can store up to 6 location entries in total. This helps keep the feature lightweight and storage-conscious, while still giving you enough room to manage upcoming and recently used entries.

Can I reuse an old location instead of creating a new one?

Yes. Expired entries can be edited into new upcoming events, which makes the feature easier to manage and helps avoid unnecessary build-up in the database.

How many gallery and location images can I upload?

Essential includes up to 40 gallery images and up to 2 images per location post. Premium includes up to 80 gallery images and up to 4 images per location post.

What is the homepage next event highlight?

On the Premium plan, the next upcoming event can be highlighted automatically on the homepage, helping your site stay current and giving visitors a quick way to see where you will be next.

What happens after the first year?

After the first year, the Essential plan drops from £35 to £25 per month. Premium remains at £50 per month and includes the additional content and support features.

Can I add an online shop later?

Yes. You can start with either plan and add extra pages, an order request option, or a full online shop with online payments later when you are ready.

Do I choose a design style before the site is built?

Yes. We will guide you through choosing a style direction and colour theme that suits your business. Over time this process will become more template-led, but the end result will still feel tailored to your brand.
