What qualifies as “handmade” or “handcrafted” on CraftMe?
Handmade is defined as “Made by hand, not by machine, and typically therefore of superior quality”.
Since there are various levels of skill and talent in the handmade world, it is challenging to put exact parameters on the word. As long as handmade intervention is in place, and the final product is not made by a manufacturer but by a lone artist with a very small team, we want to support those creative types.
At CraftMe it is important that we are inclusionary of all levels of talent, skill, ability and background. We want to celebrate the variety of artists around the globe, which is shared in CraftMe’s handmade guidelines.

This is what Roy Rodriguez, CraftMe.com, Founder and Manager, has to say: "Over the years I've helped thousands of small businesses in Australia & New Zealand with business solutions. Surprisingly, I've discovered that people believe that if they have great products or services these will sell simply because they are there. However in reality what is actually required is the ability to market and to reach the right customers. This raises the question of how to do it. We are in the information age and every business needs a presence on the Internet. Most businesses consider building a website but soon discover that it is not that easy, fast or affordable. Usually they end up spending thousands of dollars just on building and hosting a simple website that does not have complex functionality. Moreover, if you look at turning this website into an e-commerce site, consider doubling the cost. What most website design companies tend to hide is the need to advertise your site afterwards, and the costs this campaign involves. Here at CraftMe we bring people together, so they can find you, your products and services easily. What we do is make creating websites for every small company affordable and stress free. It takes less than five minutes to create your own online store. Opening a store with CraftMe releases you from the complexity of building and managing a website for your company, making your life easier. We give you total control over your content: you design your store-front with colours, fonts, tables, media, YouTube videos and flash animations. At the end of the sale you can accept Visa card payments, issue invoices with your details and track customers' orders. All of this with no long term commitment or expensive consulting expenditure. To learn more about how to open your store, please visit CraftMe Stores. We unleash the power of the Internet at a very affordable price, by creating the largest FREE online handmade shopping marketplace in the world. We have invested thousands of hours and immense funds in the development of our platform, business strategies and marketing campaigns just to bring you the best online shopping experience. We have packed in CraftMe so many great features that you must try it! We are very proud of the results and we are so determined to make it work, that we have decided to make the website FREE. CraftMe is the first FREE handmade marketplace in the world. We are totally free: no listing fees, monthly membership fees, or end of sale commission fees. If you haven't registered yet, do it now by clicking on Register. It takes less than five minutes to get your store up and running.
