There's something special about celebrating a 70th birthday. Especially when it belongs to a place that's been part of the maker community for seven decades.
The Hardware Centre has been supplying tools, materials, and expertise to craftspeople for 70 years. That's not just a business — that's a legacy. And this Saturday, 25 July 2026, they're throwing a birthday expo to celebrate.
We'll be there. And we'd love to meet you.
What We're Doing There
We're setting up a stall to talk about one thing: helping makers build digital homes that actually work.
If you've ever:
Struggled to get your work seen online
Felt like you're building your business on borrowed land (Instagram, Etsy, etc.)
Wondered if a website is even worth it
Had a website that went nowhere and gave up
Come find us. We'll show you what's possible.
We're Giving Away a Free Studio Discovery Session
To make things interesting — and to actually help someone take the next step — we're giving away a free Studio Discovery Session to one maker who visits our stall.
What you get:
A 60-minute consultation with me
A full audit of your current online presence
A custom roadmap to build your digital home
Clarity on what you actually need (and what you don't)
Value: R1,500 — but it's free to the winner.
There's no catch. No obligation to buy anything. Just honest advice from someone who's built a platform specifically for makers like you.
Why We're Doing This
Honestly? We want to meet you. We want to understand what you're struggling with, what's working, and what's not. We want to learn from your experience — and share what we've learned building this platform.
And if we can help one person take the next step with their digital presence, that's a win.
How to Enter
Come find us at the Hardware Centre expo on Saturday, 25 July 2026. We'll be there from 8:00-14:00.
Drop your details at our stall, and you're in the draw. We'll announce the winner on 26/07/2026 via email and our social channels.
That's it. No catches. No hidden fees. Just an honest conversation and a chance to win something that could genuinely move your business forward.
Can't Make It?
If you can't make it to the expo but you're curious about building a digital home for your work, you can still read our guide → or map your flow →.
We'd love to hear from you either way.
We'll see you there.
