    Simple to use website engine for listing and selling crafty goods

    Those reading TPD they will know mrs eek has given up her job to make craft items all the time.

    So she needs a web presence that is easy to use and doesn't require a large amount of my time to set up.

    Any recommendations?

      If she wants her own website, WP is good.

      The wife bought a piece of bespoke jewellery from some bespoke-craft-eBay site in the US, I can ask who it was?

          I'd bet on it being Etsy.

            I would as well.

            I only found the Etsy site a couple of months ago but have bought quite a bit off it now. Some great stuff. Last purchase was some cufflinks made from watch innards. Bloody great they are and always attract comments. Some great stuff on there.

              Have a look at Folksy - it's a UK-run site rather than an American one. My wife has been selling on both for quite a few years now.

                Has she already got any kind of web presence, would be interested to see what she does (PM if you prefer)?

                  Great, will definitely do that. Oddly enough nearly everything I bought on Etsy has come from Europe so seemed to be a global offering rather than UK. Will have a look at the UK one for sure.

                    Nope which is why I need to find something. Its not what I do and as I have no interest in small scale standard websites or facebook I just want options. Something that allows her to upload an image from her phone, add a small amount of text and attach a buy button would be perfect but I don't have a clue where to begin looking.
