We’ve Had a Refresh: What’s New on Made By Mums

We’re excited to introduce a fresh new version of Made By Mums.

We’ve been working behind the scenes to improve how the site looks, feels, and performs – making it easier for shoppers to discover beautiful handmade products, and for our sellers to manage and grow their shops.

Read on to discover all that’s new on our site.

For Shoppers: A Better Shopping Experience

We’ve worked hard to introduce a new design and features that are designed to improve the visitor experience, so finding fabulous makers and their beautiful handmade creations is easy than ever before. Here’s what’s new:

Easier browsing and discovery

We’ve improved how you explore the site so it’s easier to find exactly what you’re looking for, or discover something new along the way!

A faster, smoother visit

The site is now quicker and more responsive, especially when:

• Adding items to your basket
• Adding item preferences and customisations
• Moving through the checkout

Everything should feel more seamless from start to finish.

Improved basket and checkout

We’ve refined the buying journey to make it simpler and clearer:

• Smoother basket updates
• A cleaner checkout layout

…Introducing Wishlists!

We’re really excited about this! With wishlists, saving and sharing your favourite products on Made By Mums is now easier than ever. You can create and manage wishlists with ease, and seamlessly share them with friends and family.

Give it a try – click the heart icon at the top of the page to get started, and click on the heart icons on the product pages to add items to your lists. Perfect for gifting inspiration!

Clearer product information

We’ve improved how product details are displayed, including:

• Clearer pricing and options
• Better ways to specify product variations and personalisations, where available
• A clean, easy to browse section to display all product information, including product details, returns policy and information about the maker

For Sellers: A More Intuitive Selling Platform

We’ve made some of our biggest improvements yet to the seller dashboard. While we’ve had makers complement our existing seller dashboard, we’re always looking for ways to make your life easier! So, in making these changes, we’ve focused on making product management simpler, faster, and more flexible.

A redesigned product editor

Creating and editing products is now much more intuitive:

• Cleaner, more structured layout
• Easier image uploads (including gallery management)
• A more user-friendly category selection experience

Smarter product variations

Managing variations is now more flexible and easier to understand:

• Structured variation options (e.g. size, quantity, type)
• Clearer pricing setup
• Optional secondary options (like colour or theme) that don’t affect price but enhance the customer experience

Improved digital product support

Selling downloadable products is now more streamlined:

• Simpler file adding experience
• Clearer display of your download details
• Better organisation of digital products

More intuitive system for adding products

We’ve overhauled the process for adding products.

• Split into logical sections so you can focus on each element of your product listing
• Made it much easier to add items via your mobile phone by creating a specially adapted layout that suits touch screen interactions
• Display missing elements and areas to correct as you fill out the form

New display options for your shop and products

As well as all the current information you can add to your profile and product listings, we’ve added some extra options to really make your presence ‘pop’.

• Add extra trust to your profile by optionally including your real name on your shop, next to your shop name
• Added “key details” for products, which you can add to the top of your product listings, to help shoppers understand the most important details about your items
• Given your shop home page a fresh lick of paint so you can make your products and shop information shine brighter than ever before!

A Fresh New Look

Alongside all the functional improvements, we’ve refreshed the overall design of the site:

• Cleaner layouts
• Improved spacing and typography
• A more consistent and polished feel throughout

We hope you like the new look!

This is just an overview of new things we have just waiting for you to discover and use. We’ll go more in depth with some of the new features over the coming weeks. So stay tuned!

In the meantime, we’d love to hear what you think. If you have feedback – good and bad! – we’d really appreciate a little message so we can learn and improve. It only takes a minute – head on over to our contact page and drop us your thoughts 🙂

In the meantime, we really hope you like our new look and it makes your time on our site that bit more pleasant.

Thank you!
