The Maker's Shopify Course for Handmade Sellers

Build a handmade website you're proud of — without a designer, without code, and without the overwhelm.

You know you need a real website. Not another Facebook page you don't own, not an Etsy shop where you're one of a million — a home base that's yours, that looks like your brand, and that sells while you sleep. But every time you sit down to build it, you hit the wall: the tech is confusing, the designer quotes are terrifying, and "I'll do it later" turns into another year of duct-taping your business together.

I've been there. And here's the truth I want you to hear: you are absolutely capable of building this yourself. You just need someone to walk you through it in plain English, one step at a time.

That's what The Maker's Shopify Course is. Think of it like the plans and the walkthrough for building your online storefront — the shop that never closes. Self-paced video lessons that take you from a blank Shopify account to a website that looks professional, runs itself, and actually converts browsers into buyers.

What you'll learn to do:

• Choose the right theme — for free. No paid template needed. Pick and set up a clean, professional look that fits your brand.
• Organize your products so people actually buy. Collections, categories, and a layout that guides shoppers instead of losing them.
• Set up shipping, checkout, and automation. Get the behind-the-scenes engine running so orders flow smoothly and you're not doing everything by hand.
• Make it findable. The SEO basics that help real customers discover your shop on Google — no guru-speak, just what works.
• Brand it so it looks like you. Colors, fonts, and touches that make your site feel unmistakably yours, not like a template everyone else is using.

By the end, you'll have a website you're proud to send people to — one that works as hard as you do.

Who this is for:

Makers, paint party leaders, laser and DIY studio owners — anyone tired of renting space on someone else's platform and ready to own their storefront. Whether you're starting from scratch or finally replacing that site you slapped together at midnight, this meets you where you are.

Why learn it from me:

I'm Heather, and I'm not teaching this from the sidelines. Eleven years in, I'm still running my own studio and my own Shopify store — the exact one you're shopping on right now. So this isn't recycled theory; it's the real, current playbook from a store that's open and selling today.

A note for founding members:

This course is being released lesson by lesson, and founding members get the best deal it will ever have. You lock in the lowest price, you get lifetime access to every lesson — the ones here now and every one added — and you get a direct hand in shaping the course as it grows. In other words: you're not paying for something unfinished, you're getting in early on something that only gets more valuable, at a price that won't come back.

This is one room in a bigger house.
