One managed home base
Website, booking, content, newsletter, and support can live in one practical platform.
Who this is for
Built for people who are the brand, the creator, and the operator.
A self-employed creative usually needs a website that does more than look nice. It has to help people understand the work, buy products, join the email list, read updates, and know how to support or hire you.
Artists and makers
Present your work, sell prints or merch, and give customers a branded place to learn what you create.
DIY merchandise sellers
Use product pages, simple checkout paths, and Printful-ready support for apparel, accessories, or branded goods.
Solo creative professionals
Run your website, newsletter, content, products, and contact path without needing a staff member to manage tech.
Quick answers
Answers for solo creators comparing website platforms.
These are the practical questions self-employed creatives often ask when they need a website that can support content, products, email audience growth, and basic commerce.
What kind of website does a self-employed creative need?
Most self-employed creatives need a website that can explain their work, show products or services, collect newsletter subscribers, publish updates, and give visitors a clear next step without requiring a full technical team.
Can De MG Solutions support authors and merchandise sellers?
Yes. De MG Solutions can support authors, artists, DIY merchandise sellers, Printful store owners, and solo creative professionals who need a managed website, product pages, newsletter functionality, and ongoing platform support.
Can I sell products through the website?
Yes. Marketing + Store Hub can support product or service sales through the platform checkout and payment processor, including store workflows for books, prints, apparel, branded products, DIY merchandise, and Printful-connected fulfillment where appropriate. If you only need to link visitors to outside product pages or your own payment processor, Marketing Hub may be enough.
Does the platform include newsletter functionality?
Yes. Newsletter functionality can help collect subscribers, organize audience contacts, and support updates for launches, new products, events, articles, and creative announcements.
What your platform can include
A practical website foundation for selling, publishing, and staying visible.
You should not need a separate person to manage every page, product, and update. De MG Solutions helps set up the website foundation and keeps the platform supported as your creative work grows.
Website
A clear home base for your story, services, work, products, and next steps.
Shop
Product pages for books, prints, apparel, digital goods, or DIY merchandise.
Newsletter
Subscriber capture and newsletter workflows so your audience does not live only on social platforms.
Blog and content
Articles, updates, announcements, launch notes, and evergreen content that can support search visibility.
Printful support
A store-ready foundation for creators who want fulfillment support for merchandise and branded products.
Managed support
Ongoing website platform support, hosting, maintenance, and practical guidance when you need changes.
Newsletter and audience growth
Build a list you control instead of relying only on social platforms.
Newsletter functionality gives readers, customers, supporters, and fans a way to stay connected. Use it for launch updates, new product drops, events, blog posts, behind-the-scenes notes, or seasonal announcements.
Collect
Newsletter signup forms help visitors become subscribers.
Organize
Audience contacts stay connected to your managed website platform.
Publish
Send updates when you have new work, products, or announcements.
Store and fulfillment support
Sell through the platform when you need built-in checkout.
If your work includes books, apparel, prints, branded goods, DIY merchandise, or services that customers should buy directly on your website, Store Hub can support product pages, checkout, and payment processing. If you already have outside product pages or your own payment processor, Marketing Hub can link visitors there without adding a full store.
Choose the right starter path
Pick Marketing Hub for visibility and links. Pick Store Hub for built-in checkout.
The biggest decision is whether customers need to pay through the De MG Solutions platform. If you only need a website that links to external products, booking pages, marketplaces, or your own payment processor, start with Marketing Hub. If you want to sell products or services directly through the platform checkout, start with Marketing + Store Hub.

It is best for self-employed people and creative professionals who manage their own work, sell products or services, publish content, grow an email audience, and want practical website support without hiring an internal tech person.
Is this only for ecommerce sellers?

Yes. De MG Solutions can configure a website foundation for creators who want to sell merchandise with Printful support, including product presentation and fulfillment-ready workflows.
Can I start simple and add features later?
Yes. Many self-employed creatives should start with the essentials first: a strong website, clear offer, newsletter signup, and a manageable product or content structure. Additional shop, content, and growth features can be added as the work grows.
Do I need technical experience?
No. De MG Solutions handles setup and ongoing platform support so you can focus on writing, creating, selling, publishing, and serving your audience.
