Etsy

Before I started building websites, I was dreaming of living the life of creating art and things to sell via ebay and other online methods. If there's one thing the web has opened up for creative types like myself, is an audience willing to buy or subscribe to our creative output. There are a number of good an established methods of selling creative works online, the area is well serviced, so any new entries to that market need to standout to be noticed.

Etsy is one such new player. It's an online shopping engine which caters for works and crafts. It supplies tools for both buyers and sellers. What makes it standout and gives it a place here is the wonderful Web 2.0 inspired navigation methods and crisp design. It invites you to click and explore all manner of handmade goodies - via familiar favourites such as tags, geo-positioning and other nice features like colour swatches and the time machine. It looks like a service that will grow and grow, and hopeful not fill up with the artspam that's made Ebay an unviable place for selling such items.
