Every row becomes a page

Etsy lets every seller download their active listings as one spreadsheet. It already holds your titles, prices, tags and photos. I turn each row into a product page, then build the home page, search and tags around them.

What you get

A real shop site with your name on it. Everything here is in the demo: a made-up shop with sample art, built from a sample listings file the way yours would be.

Your whole catalogue on one home page

Search, tag filters, and your shop name and colours. Buyers browse it the way they would a shop, with nothing else competing for their attention.

A proper page for every listing

Photos, the full description, price, tags and related products, with a buy button that goes where you choose: your Etsy listing, or your own checkout.

Product page

Made for phones

Most shoppers browse on their phones, so every page is laid out to read and buy there first.

How it works

  1. Send your file

    Download your listings file and gather a few details. The checklist says exactly what.

  2. I check it

    If the file builds, I send a payment link. If it doesn't, you've lost nothing.

  3. I build it

    You get a private preview within 3 business days of your complete checklist.

  4. You check it

    Ask for changes. One round is included.

  5. It goes live in your name

    You upload the folder to a free Cloudflare Pages or Netlify account with my step-by-step guide. I never need your login.

I take a few builds a week, so every site gets proper attention. If this week is full, I'll tell you the start date before you pay.

If your file can't be built into a site, you get every cent back.

Once your preview is delivered the build is done, and one round of changes is included.

Who builds it

Me. One person, an Etsy Star Seller from 2021 until October 2026, selling AI-generated digital downloads. I run my own shop's site the same way. The demo is a made-up shop with sample art, so you can see the build without seeing anyone's real shop.

No team, no course and no upsell. You deal with me from the first message to the last file.

Why I'm doing this

5 yearsas an Etsy Star Seller
95%of my products sell at $2.95
58%of my sales went to Etsy's fees over 15 months

From my own monthly statements, worked out with the fee calculator.

Questions

Do you need my Etsy password?

No, never. I work from the file you download yourself. I'll never ask for a password, a login code or card details.

Will this replace Etsy?

No. Etsy search still brings you strangers. Your site is where your own buyers go, and it stays yours if Etsy's rules change.

Will I get more sales?

I can't promise that, and nobody honest can. A new site gets very little search traffic for months. It grows from the people you send to it: repeat buyers, followers, your email list and your pins.

How long does it take?

Within 3 business days, counted from when your checklist is complete: the listings file, your logo if you have one, and your details. You only pay once I've checked the file.

Going live depends on when you upload the site and point your domain. That part is on your side, and the guide walks you through it.

Do you build for physical or print-on-demand shops?

Not in this edition. Physical and print-on-demand shops need shipping, addresses and print partners that this build doesn't cover, and many of those sellers already run Shopify or WordPress. If that's you, this edition isn't built for you yet.

Is it allowed?

Etsy allows sellers to have their own website. What it doesn't allow is using your listings, shop pages or Etsy messages to send buyers there. Keep the two apart.

What happens when I change prices or add listings?

The site is a snapshot of your file. Send a fresh listings file and I'll rebuild it, and I'll quote a refresh when you need one. On the $149 site the buttons open the live Etsy listing, so buyers always see your current price there.

Do my Etsy reviews come across?

No, they stay on Etsy. Your site can link to them, and buyers on your own checkout can leave new ones.

Will Google find it?

Yes, slowly. Descriptions copied from Etsy usually lose to Etsy's own pages in search, so rewriting your best ten over time helps.

Why a static site and not Shopify?

No monthly fee, nothing to update, nothing to hack, and it moves to any host. If you outgrow it, your photos and words are already organised for the next step.

Start with your listings file

It takes about ten minutes to download it and gather the rest.
