At Craftly.cc, we are excited to share our journey with you, from our initial launch to our future goals and enhancements. Here is a timeline of our progress:
During this stage, we will invite users who have subscribed to our newsletter to a private preview of our admin dashboard and a mockup of the directory layout and functions. This will allow them to get an exclusive sneak peek and provide valuable feedback before the official launch.
Once the private preview is complete, we will open registration for all users. Artisans and small businesses can sign up and start creating ads for their products and services, showcasing their unique offerings to our growing audience.
At this stage, we will focus on ensuring that our directory's results are imported into search engines. This will increase our site's visibility and drive organic traffic, helping more potential customers discover the incredible handmade products and services listed on Craftly.cc.
We are committed to providing the best user experience possible. During this phase, we will give our platform a UI overhaul, making it even more intuitive, visually appealing, and user-friendly. Our goal is to create a seamless and enjoyable browsing experience for both artisans and customers.
With increased traffic and a refined user interface, we will start leveraging social media to further promote Craftly.cc. By sharing compelling content and engaging with our audience, we aim to attract even more visitors to the platform, expanding the reach of our artisans and their incredible handmade creations.
As our platform continues to grow and attract more visitors, we want to ensure that artisans and small businesses receive maximum exposure. We will implement features that drive traffic to sellers' listings and external links, creating opportunities for increased visibility and sales.
Once our directory is fully established and generating consistent traffic, we will introduce sponsored listings. Artisans and businesses will have the option to pay a small nominal monthly fee to appear at the top of search results. This revenue will be reinvested into enhancing the platform, rather than personal gain.
If our traffic continues to increase and we receive sufficient funds, we will embark on the next phase of our journey: building a marketplace. This expansion will allow artisans and small businesses to directly sell their products through Craftly.cc, opening up new opportunities and amplifying their reach.
At Craftly.cc, we are dedicated to empowering artisans and small businesses in the online marketplace. We have a clear vision and the determination to achieve our goals. Join us on this exciting journey as we strive to create a thriving platform for the handmade community.
