Why We Moved to the New Website
After years of hosting our online courses on the Teachable platform, I’ve made the exciting decision to transition to a brand-new website. This wasn’t a decision made lightly, but one I feel is essential for the growth of our brand and the experience we want to provide for you, our valued community. Let me explain why this change was necessary and what it means for you.
Breaking Free from Restrictions
While Teachable has been a reliable platform for hosting our courses, it came with its limitations. It was designed almost exclusively for selling online courses, which worked initially but became restrictive as we evolved. For example, we couldn’t manage shipping fees for physical products in the same space or showcase our events and brand story effectively. I felt constrained, unable to fully express the vision of our brand.
Additionally, Teachable limited me to hosting only 5 courses simultaneously. If I wanted to add a 6th course, I would have had to upgrade to a subscription plan that was excessively high compared to the all in one solution that I now have.
My course catalogue exceeds five courses, with plans to continue expanding it over time, it became clear that a change was necessary.
A Unified Experience
Our new website is more than just a place to host courses; it’s a hub for everything we do. Now, you’ll find:
Courses: All our beloved experiences, from embroidery techniques to jewelry-making, in one place.
Products: Physical kits, tools, and exclusive creations available for purchase.
Events: Information and tickets for upcoming workshops, exhibitions, and special gatherings.
Blog: A dedicated space to share inspiration, stories, and behind-the-scenes insights.
Brand Identity: A site that reflects our unique aesthetic and values, standing apart from the cookie-cutter look of generic platforms.
Owning Our Identity
One of the most exciting aspects of this transition is embracing our own branding style. The new website is designed to reflect the opulence, creativity, and cultural richness that define our work. It’s a space that feels like home for our brand—a place where you can truly immerse yourself in the world we’re building together.
What’s Next?
This transition marks the start of a new chapter. It’s a space where I can connect with you more personally and where every part of our journey, from online experiences to physical products can coexist seamlessly. I hope this change enhances your experience and makes exploring our world even more enjoyable. Things are still being buildt behind the scene, but little by little we’ll be 100% operational.
Thank you for your continued support and for being part of this journey. Let’s create something extraordinary together!
With love, Julie
