How is CentralTexas.com different from etsy?
CentralTexas.com is focused on serving local communities, while Etsy has a global reach. Our platform is tailored to small businesses within Central Texas, providing tools and promotion designed around the unique needs of this region. CentralTexas.com is focused on fostering trade and community connections within Central Texas. We offer marketing, operations and management solutions specialized for small, locally-owned enterprises and the communities they serve. Businesses on Etsy may be located anywhere and sell to customers worldwide, which doesn’t allow money to be circulated back to the community. CentralTexas.com businesses are part of your local neighborhood—together, we have a shared stake in the success and commerce of Central Texas. Revenue and support go back into building our region. While Etsy charges extremely high listing fees and commissions per sale, CentralTexas.com aims to keep costs as low as possible for small, homegrown businesses.
What if I already have a website?
We’ve got you covered! Not only does CentralTexas.com provide you with a fully customizable website, we offer domain connection and tech support to ensure the transition to CentralTexas.com is as smooth as possible.

This includes technical assistance with using our platform tools, guidance on best practices for digital marketing and commerce, and connections to additional local resources.

How much does CentralTexas.com cost?
