What handmade selling needs
Handmade products command a premium because of who made them and how, and a marketplace listing reduces that to a photograph and a price alongside mass-produced competitors. Sellers also handle custom orders through message threads, quote international shipping by guessing, and cannot give realistic timelines for made-to-order work. Each of those loses sales from buyers who were willing to pay properly.
What we build for a craft seller
First, product pages with the making process and materials told properly, since that is the entire premium and what a marketplace removes. Second, custom order forms capturing specification, references and timeline, replacing the message thread. Third, international shipping calculated and explained, because craft buyers are frequently abroad and assume it is impossible. Fourth, honest made-to-order timelines with progress updates, which is what allows a buyer to wait six weeks without anxiety.
