The demand for handmade goods has been rising exponentially ever since digitalization hit the industry. With the rise of online e-commerce sites, minor vendors received an unprecedented possibility to advertise and sell their products nationwide, even globally. WordPress, as one of the most popular, free, and user-friendly website CMS, has contributed a lot to the trend.
