A craft store site is priced by how many departments and classes you want customers to find, since the hobbyist is searching for a specific supply or a Saturday workshop. A small shop with a handful of departments is straightforward, while a large class calendar adds structure. We make it easy to see what you carry and when the next class is.
The price at a glance
Most craft stores fit Business Plus: $989 one-time for up to 20 pages, plus Website Care at $30/month for hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly performance checks, A/B testing and up to 30 minutes of small edits each month. A typical craft store site covers Home with classes, Departments, Classes and events, Visit and Contact.
What changes the price for a craft store
- ✓Department pages — Yarn, fabric, paper, paints and beads each draw different shoppers, and each department described in some detail adds a page to write
- ✓Class calendar — A schedule of workshops with dates, skill levels and instructor notes needs a layout that is easy to update every month
- ✓Class sign-up method — Taking sign-ups through the site, by phone or in store changes the setup and the number of fields needed
- ✓Online shop link or catalog — Linking out to an existing shop is quick, while showing a browsable product list takes much more building
What keeps you in the smaller plan
A shop with a few departments can use a home page, one departments page, a classes and events page, a visit page with hours and a contact form. Describe your brands and specialties instead of listing products. Link out to any online shop you already run.
Costs that sit outside the website
- ✓Online store platform — If you sell supplies online, that platform’s plan and fees are separate from the site and are linked in
- ✓Class payment tool — Taking payment for workshops uses a processor you already have, or Square if you want help setting one up
- ✓Photography — Photos of your shelves, samples and class projects are worth arranging separately
- ✓Domain and email — A domain and shared email address are small yearly costs outside the build
When it makes sense to step up
Step up when you want a page for each department, separate pages for each class series, a kids and birthday party section, a membership or club program, or a product catalog. Multiple store locations each need their own details.
