Yay!!! I was just thinking about how this might be the year Etsy realizes the fees are a bit too much. Im looking into it too. I'm still skeered of the web design thing, though!

marigayle: 2 words : Big Cartel

Knittyauntie: I'm not in love with the Big Cartel shops that I've looked at, but I havent looked too closely. I want to LOVE my shop!

marigayle: etsy is awesome but fees just added up way too quick and I felt it was time to move. Big cartel was a step stone & worth try

marigayle: I think all depends on the person just like some websites are blah and other great. Takes time, experience, & eye for layout

I'll look into it. Etsy has been a wonderful starting place. Very helpful and easy. It is getting expensive, though.

marigayle: they have a free plan to list 5 items maybe try that just to see if you like the look & layout before deciding what to do
