Etsy.com is an online market place
that is filled with artists, designers, and crafters. Etsy has become a good place for these
artists, designers, and crafters to place their hardwork on there and try to
sell their items. There are some
positive views, which I am sure that there are also negative views about the
web site. Some people are not familiar
and never heard of Etsy.com. It’s a web site
where people of all ages who could be able post their items on to the site and
try to earn some pocket money. Etsy
members could also give the option of purchasing from other sellers. Even if you are not a member to Etsy, you
could still be able to purchase from sellers.
Those buyers are given the option how to pay for whether it would be
Paypal, check, or credit card.
Etsy.com
is good for me because as a crocheter, I am able to make some stuff and create
a store on there and try to sell them from the site. When I first created an account, the most
important thing for me was to be able to post the photos of my work and a
description about each one. As far as
navigating the web site, it did not take that long until I was able to navigate
the web site quickly. I do look at other
crocheting items to get an idea of what else to make. I like the fact that the web site has
reasonable prices because this day of age, things are very expensive so when viewers
purchases that item on Etsy, they are saving a lot of money for themselves
compare to that item at a regular store.
The rules of
Etsy.com are that it tells you what you can sell if it is either handmade
goods, vintage items, or supplies. In my
opinion, Etsy.com is pretty much easy web site to navigate. The topics are located on the left side of
the website as topics. When youc click
onto the topics, sub-topics are shown.
The topics are in alphabetical order so that the user could be able find
the topic quickly. The user is also
given the option to do a quick search for a particular item in the search
bar. When they use this option, items
will be displayed from all sellers. If
the item doesn’t display below then there aren’t any items that was made by any
stores.
Etsy.com has
interesting links that could be of use to the viewer’s such as a community
section. The community section will
display any events that are appearing in your area or other areas. There are also blogs to keep everyone updated
what is happening. I had tested all the
links on Etsy.com making sure that they are all in working order. If some links are not in working order, it
would not make a good web site, and visitors may lose interest in the
website. All the links on Etsy.com are
in working order. However, there is not
a home link page to bring to the main page.
I had to keep pressing the back space button from the previous
pages. But, I then realized that when I
had pressed the Etsy word (next to the register and sign in button) on the top
left, it turned out to be a link, and that had brought me to the main
page. I would never had known about that
until I pressed it, so I feel there should be a home link page so that other viewers
could be able to know where to navigate back to the home page.
When each item is
posted, the user has to be very specific in order to make a good presentation
for each item in order to sell it. When
there is a problem, the user can easily use the “Help” button located at the
top right hand corner. I like this site
very much because if I run out of ideas, especially around the holidays, I
could be able to go to this web site and see what I could find. I had found some knick knacks last Christmas.
I like this web
site because it gives me the opportunity for exposure and try to sell my
crocheting items. If it wasn't for www.ravelry.com, I wouldn't have discovered
Etsy.com because someone on ravelry introduced me to the site. What I enjoy
about this site is that there are so many unusual stuff and that makes the site
interesting, which makes me want to return to the site.
