Who we build for

Built for how small businesses actually work.

Three kinds of businesses we work with most — but we'll happily talk to anyone in the same neighborhood.

01 · Course creators

For teachers and course creators.

If you teach — languages, music, fitness, business — you're probably losing 5–10% of every sale to a platform that locks you in and looks like 50,000 other course sites.

  • Teachable / Kajabi / Thinkific cut 5–10% of every sale, forever.
  • You can't move your students elsewhere — they belong to the platform.
  • Your "branded" page is just their template with your logo dropped in.
  • Custom features (placement tests, flashcards, course-specific flows) are impossible.

02 · Makers + artisan shops

For makers and artisan shops.

If you make and sell — woodworking, ceramics, leather, candles, prints — Etsy and Shopify are great until your fees start outpacing what you save.

  • Etsy takes 13%+ across listing, transaction, and payment fees.
  • Shopify charges monthly forever, plus payment fees, plus app fees.
  • On both, your site looks indistinguishable from 1,000 other shops in your niche.
  • You don't own the customer relationship — they own it.

Square checkout, Shippo live rates, label printing, Shipsurance — all in one site they own.

03 · Bakeries + specialty food

For specialty food businesses.

If you sell food — a bakery, a catering operation, a coffee roaster, a specialty grocer — you need a site that helps people find you, order, and come back.

  • Square / Toast are point-of-sale tools, not real online presences.
  • Generic restaurant templates make every local bakery look identical.
  • No good way to take online orders, manage menu changes, or run delivery without third-party apps.
  • Most food businesses have no real digital marketing infrastructure.
