Top 5 reasons to have an online store of your own vs Etsy
Having an online store of your own has some great advantages over Etsy. In this article, I go over the top five and their importance to growing your craft business.

From Hobbyist to Professional
- Are you tired of looking like yet another hobby crafter?
- Sick of third-party platforms that control every aspect of how you sell?
- Scared of D.I.Y. and the time it takes to learn new technology?
- Worried about your business looking unprofessional?
It’s time you stop getting lumped in with the weekend crafters and have a website of your own. Our affordable websites let you do exactly that. You focus on doing what you love. We will handle the technology.
Your website is the one place you should never have to worry about losing your content. When you sell on third parties like Etsy you run the risk of getting locked out for any reason. It’s hard to grow a business with such a high risk and many unknowns.
Third-party sites and social media change every day. Do you want to have to re-learn new things constantly or would you rather be in control of the changes? You are taking a big chance hoping that fees won’t change or the ‘algorithm’ won’t kill your business. You need a website of your own to avoid these risks.

Working with Alex at Pacific Northwest Web Works on the redesign of our web site was a great experience from start to finish. He offered guidance throughout the process and kept the project on track with frequent emails and task management software. We will continue to do business with Alex.

I have been using PNWWW for over two years now. They set up my website and help me to maintain it. They do any updates and programming that it might need. I do all of the posting on my blog but they do everything else. I would highly recommend them.
