Shop Talk is a low-pressure, monthly gathering just for merchants, makers, and small business owners who want to grow their business and connect with like-minded people. Expect real talk, not fluff - with practical advice you can actually use, no matter what stage you're at.

This month, the topic is:
Your Website Glow-Up!

Your website should be working as hard as you do. In this hands-on session, we’re focusing on simple, high-impact ways to improve your site. You'll get actionable tips to improve your listings, increase trust + professionalism, and make search engines happy.

Then we’ll take it a step further: we’ll review 2–3 attendee websites live and offer real-time feedback you can learn from (and apply to your own site!), followed by open Q&A.

Whether your site needs a light refresh or a serious glow-up, you’ll walk away with clear, doable improvements.

This session is designed to be practical, conversational, and supportive — perfect for business owners, creatives, and professionals who want their online presence to better reflect the quality of their work.
