Why you need the web
You crafty thing, you
Indie crafters, you've sold at local farmers markets and holiday fairs, but you are ready to take your inventory nationwide...or even international.
This is a call to all makers--wake up and smell the web, darlings. You've got to get savvy about pushing yourself into cyberspace. A polished website with personality and functionality and a marketing plan with savoir-faire are no longer optional. But getting on target--on a budget--and without it cutting into your creative time can be overwhelming (to say the least).
We'd love to help you navigate the cyberjungle, but in case you want to brave it alone, you indie spirit you--we've tried to gather here what we consider the best of the breed for you to begin with. Cut through the baloney and crap--below are what we tell our family and friends when they ask us.
