@Daojoan I'm a designer-maker and realised early on how important it was having my own website, even before there was Etsy. After a friend helped me to start in 2004, I taught myself how to code: I can create a piece, photograph and put it in my website - how great is that! SEO is a pain but what I hear now from those who put their time on Etsy and are now getting screwed is much worse. #DesignerMaker #coder
