Websites for Matthews makers and growers who sell on Trade Street

Matthews has a Saturday market that says it has supported local farmers and makers for 33 years. A customer who likes a vendor may look that vendor up later. We build the site they find, with a way to order or ask between markets.

A Matthews website for the person who met you at the market

The farmers market on N. Trade Street runs Saturday mornings from April through November, then shifts to a winter schedule with shorter hours. A shopper meets you, takes a sample and goes home without a way to reach you but a name on a sign.

We build a site where that name leads to a clear page about what you make and how to order or ask. Each page has a contact path, and each form sends the inquiry to the place where you follow up.

Seasonal schedules need pages that change with them

Matthews markets move around the calendar, with extra Tuesday evenings in late November and December and a different start time once winter arrives. A vendor who prints one schedule on a card risks sending customers to an empty lot.

We plan a page for the schedule so one edit fixes what the public reads. You decide what goes up and when, and we build the structure so it takes minutes.

Labor Day crowds and downtown parking send different visitors

Officials called the Matthews Alive parade the largest Labor Day parade in the Southeastern United States, and the market has free parking behind it off Cotton Gin Alley. A visitor from out of town and a regular ask different questions.

Tracking tells you which group reads which page. You see the pages and channels that bring inquiries, and you change the ones that do not.

From a Matthews Saturday stall to a steady customer list

Regulars matter most to a vendor. A site with a signup form that feeds your customer list gives you a way to tell them about a new batch, a changed hour or a winter schedule.

We connect that form to the system you use to follow up, so each name arrives with the page it came from. You decide what to send and when. We build the path from the page to your list.

Questions from Matthews owners

I only sell at the market. Do I need a site for online orders?

Your site does not have to sell anything to be useful. It can show what you make, where you will be and how to reach you. If you want orders to flow somewhere, we connect the form to your follow-up system.

How does a stall owner use tracking?

You see which pages people read before they write to you and where they came from. If a post you shared sends visitors who never write, you stop spending time there. If the schedule page gets the most visits, you keep it current.

Can you build the site if I have no logo or photos yet?

We build the site around what you have and tell you what is missing. Our content and brand service covers photos and posts if you want help later. For now, pages and a form get you started.
