Welcome, Mercy

We're going to build the website for Wears By Simi together, right here. Just answer the questions below -- tell us about your dressmaking, your designs, your colours -- and we'll turn your answers into a beautiful site that does your work justice.

How it works: You fill in what you can (there's no rush and no wrong answers). When you're happy, press send at the bottom. We take your answers and handcraft your website from them. That's it -- no tech knowledge needed, Mercy. We handle everything.

This page saves your answers as you go. If you close the tab, lose your connection, or just want to come back tomorrow -- everything will be right here waiting for you.

Tell us about you and Wears By Simi

Before we get into the design details, we'd love to hear your story. This helps us write the "about" page on your site and capture what makes your brand special. Don't worry about getting the words perfect, Mercy -- just tell us like you'd tell a friend.

How did you get into dressmaking?

Your journey -- how it all started, what drew you to dressmaking, how long you've been at it. This becomes part of your story on the site.

What do you love making most?

Evening gowns? Bridal? Everyday dresses? Occasionwear? Workwear? Tell us what gets you excited.

Where do your customers find you right now?

Instagram WhatsApp Facebook Word of mouth Market stalls or pop-ups Referrals from other customers Somewhere else

If you ticked "somewhere else", tell us where:

Your very own web address

Every great brand deserves its own corner of the internet. Pick a short, simple name and we'll give you a web address that's all yours. Just type the name you love -- no tech skills needed, Mercy!

Your brand's web address

Use lowercase letters, numbers and dashes only -- for example wearsbysimi gives you wearsbysimi.buddocloud.com. Keep it short and memorable. Don't worry, Mercy, you can change this later if you change your mind.

About your dressmaking

This helps us understand the kind of work you do so we can set up your site properly. There are no wrong answers here -- just tick and type what feels right.

Do you make dresses to order, sell ready-to-wear, or both?

Made-to-measure (each dress is made for the customer) Ready-to-wear (customers buy from your collection) A bit of both

What sizes do you offer?

If you do made-to-measure, just say so -- we'll make sure the site explains that to customers.

How does your pricing work?

Fixed prices? Starting-from prices? Prices on consultation? Whatever works for you -- we'll display it clearly on your site.

Do customers come to you for fittings, or do you go to them?

If you have a studio or workshop, tell us about it -- we can feature it on your site.

How would your customers pay?

Tick every way you'd be happy to take payment for your dresses. Not sure yet? Just tick a few that feel right -- we can always fine-tune this together later, Mercy.

Your brand colours

Colours set the whole mood of your site -- think of them like choosing fabric for a dress. Pick up to three colours you love, and for each one tell us where you picture it: the buttons, the background, the headings? Go with what feels like you, Mercy.

Your designs

Now for the stars of the show -- your dresses! Add each design you make, with any details that make it special: the fabric, the occasion it's for, the silhouette, the price. Add as many as you like -- there's no limit and no tech setup, just describe each piece the way you'd tell a friend about it.

Don't worry if you can't list every design right now, Mercy. Start with your favourites and you can always come back to add more.

Photos and videos of your work

A picture is worth a thousand words -- and in fashion, it's worth even more. Upload photos of your dresses, your fabrics, your studio, yourself at work -- anything you'd like visitors to see. For each one, jot a note about where it could go on the site (like "main page" or "about me page").

Phone photos are absolutely fine, Mercy. We'll make them look beautiful on your site.

Three websites you admire

This is the single most helpful thing you can share with us, Mercy -- three websites you love the look of. They don't have to be fashion brands; any website whose style makes you think "yes, that's the feeling I want" will help us understand your taste. We'll study what makes them special and bring that same feeling to your site.

Anything else on your mind, Mercy?

This is your open space. Dreams for the brand, things you're worried about, something you saw on another site and loved, a feature your customers keep asking for -- write as much or as little as you like. Every detail helps us build a site that feels truly like Wears By Simi.

Even small things help -- like "I want customers to be able to book a fitting" or "I'd love a page just for bridal". Whatever comes to mind.

Ready to send?

That's everything, Mercy! When you're happy with your answers, press the button below to send them over to us. If we notice anything missing, we'll let you know gently -- nothing will be lost.

After you press send, we'll get to work building your website. We'll be in touch to show you what we've created.
