Artisan FAQ
Clarity for the master craftsperson and small business owner.
Is the design fee really $0 for my artisan studio?
No catch. We hate seeing independent artisans quoted $3,000+ for a simple digital showcase. We waive our $500 expert design fee entirely. You only cover your professional hosting (less than a latte a month) via our verified link. This allows our team to dedicate our craft to building your site for free.
⚡ We only reserve a limited number of $0 artisan builds per week.
How much effort is required from my end?
Incredibly low. Simply send us your basic studio information, rough text, and images of your work. Even if your notes are unpolished, our expert team will refine the copy to reflect your artisan professionality. Just share your vision, and consider it done! We handle the technical craft so you can stay focused on your actual making.
How does this differ from a generic DIY builder?
On those platforms, you aren’t a maker; you’re an unpaid intern. You’ll waste your precious studio time struggling with fonts and mobile layouts only to end up with a "cheap" look. At Driftwood.Love, we do the heavy lifting. You choose your aesthetic, and our human designers hand-build it. You preserve your creative energy; we deliver the professional results.
What exactly is a domain name for my brand?
Think of a domain name as your digital "workshop address" on the internet (like www.yourartisanbrand.com). However, just like a physical storefront needs a plot of land before you can set up your tools, a domain name alone cannot run a website or email. To host your digital portfolio, you need a "server" (the land) to hold your data.
What is a server in the artisan world?
A server is the digital "foundation" where your artisan website lives. It is a specialized computer that securely manages your portfolio and email data, keeping your shop open 24/7. While a domain is just your address, the server is the actual space that makes your craft visible to the world.
Can I use a custom domain for my brand?
Absolutely! When you join our trusted hosting partner, you can register a custom domain that fits your artisan identity for free. We will then hand-build and launch your free website directly onto that domain.
Alternatively, you can choose to host your site on our domain, and we will create a specially branded URL just for you (e.g., yourbrand.driftwood.love).
Can you set up my professional Artisan Email?
Yes, we handle that for you! Having a custom business email builds massive trust with your high-end clients, and we will manage the technical configuration to keep your professional communications flowing seamlessly.
What if my specific craft isn't in the demos?
Don't worry! We can adapt our high-converting frameworks to fit any artisan niche. If you don't see your specific trade, simply proceed here and tell us your craft. We’ll custom-tailor the design to ensure you look like the master of your field.
How fast is your "rocket speed" delivery?
If you secure your hosting and send your details today, we launch your artisan site in 24 hours or less. We move at the speed of your business because every day you aren't online is a day you're losing clients to the competition.
Can I request updates or changes to my site later?
We never leave an artisan hanging. For any future updates or refinements after your site is live, we provide support at a flat rate of only $25 per hour. Most common tasks (like updating a seasonal price list or adding new portfolio photos) are finished within an hour, keeping your overhead low.
Will I maintain total ownership of my digital craft?
100%. Unlike big agencies that "rent" you a site or trap you in contracts, you retain absolute brand ownership. It is your business, your domain, and your digital home base. You stay in total control.
What if I want to tweak the design?
We want you to love your digital storefront. We include 2 rounds of artisan refinements to make it perfect before we go live. We don't stop until your website looks exactly as you imagined.
Do I need to be a "tech person" to work with you?
Zero technical skills required. If you can choose a style that fits your aesthetic, you are qualified. We handle the SSL "Green Padlock" security, Google Maps integration, and mobile optimization.
☕ The Artisan Goal: You grab a coffee—we’ll send you the "Live" link by this time tomorrow.
Is my specific artisan industry supported?
Yes. From Ceramicists and Woodworkers to Therapists and Wedding Planners, we have high-converting blueprints ready for every local professional. Check our Artisan Niche Demos to see your future site in action.
What is NOT included in the $0 artisan setup?
To maintain our lightning-fast 24-hour delivery and waive our design fee, we strictly focus on providing high-converting, single-page professional frameworks (matching our artisan demos). This excludes complex architectures like full e-commerce shopping carts or multi-page custom payment systems.
What if my brand needs more than one page?
Our core free offer is for a highly-optimized Artisan Website Home Base. If your studio requires a larger multi-page architecture or advanced integrations, we offer premium upgrade options at transparent, artisan-friendly rates. Contact us today to discuss your specific needs.
