A recognisable presence
Your name, colours, message, services, products and contact route are organised into a structure suited to your visitors.
Market Corner levels
Choose the space your business needs now.
Four managed levels let you begin simply and grow later. From 14 September to 24 December 2026 inclusive, the 40% launch reduction applies when the first 12 months are paid annually in advance; monthly-paying members use the standard monthly fee. The one-off setup price remains unchanged.
What membership provides
Your own independent online presence, presented through Market Corner.
It is more than a directory listing and smaller than commissioning an independent website. Second Story Studio prepares and maintains the agreed presentation using approved content and a layout suited to your craft, hobby or business. Your business remains independent and does not become part of Second Story Studio.
Managed content
Second Story Studio sets up the space and applies the update allowance included in the chosen level. Larger changes are agreed separately.
Your customer route
You remain independent. Enquiries, bookings or purchases normally continue through your own approved external platform.
What you are paying for
Setup creates the space. The monthly payment keeps it hosted and managed.
The setup stage agrees the page purpose, selects the right modules, prepares supplied content, applies the chosen approved colour and layout direction, builds the space and completes an approval check.
The monthly service keeps the space within Market Corner and provides the update allowance stated for that level. It does not make Second Story Studio the seller or automatically include unlimited changes, branding work or a separate website.

The fictional businesses above demonstrate how Market Corner is arranged: Market Shop leads, Market Grow follows, then Market Start, with compact Market Introduction entries below. See the four price options underneath to choose how your business could become involved and build its online presence.
Launch offer: customers who join between 14 September and 24 December 2026 inclusive receive 40% off the first 12 months when that year is paid in full in advance. Monthly payments remain at the standard monthly fee. Setup remains full price. Final content, update scope, start date and terms are confirmed before activation.
Content blocks and layouts
The level controls depth. The layout follows the business.
A service business may need its working area and enquiry route first. A maker may need story and projects. A product business may need collections and buying links before its About section.
The 200, 350, 500 or 700-character allowance applies only to the short summary shown on the main Market Corner page. The opened information page can contain fuller wording, but its pages, sections and content blocks remain restricted to the purchased level.
Available blocks can include
- Introduction and About
- Services and working area
- Past and current projects
- Gallery and testimonials
- Products and collections
- What's Next or seasonal focus
- Contact, social, booking and selling links
Only suitable blocks are used. More sections are not automatically better.
Who does what
A managed space with clear responsibility.
The business provides and approves
- Accurate identity, contact and trading details
- Rights-cleared photographs and content
- Truthful product, service and availability information
- Its own transaction, delivery and customer-service route
Second Story Studio prepares and controls
- Suitable page structure and approved layout
- Accessible presentation within Market Corner
- Agreed setup and content updates
- Independence and external-selling disclosures
Separate services that can work together
Market Corner does not require a new Second Story Studio-designed brand.
If you already have suitable branding, photographs and copy, those approved materials can be used within your Market Corner space. The setup and monthly Market Corner service stand on their own.
Design & Digital is optional when you also need a new identity, improved graphics, written content, additional imagery or a later standalone website. That work is scoped separately.
Market Corner includes
- Mini-site setup within Second Story Studio
- Approved colours and suitable layout
- Chosen content blocks
- Managed update allowance
- External customer route
Optional Design & Digital
- New or developed brand identity
- Graphics, photography or copy
- Campaign and printed material
- Extra content beyond the allowance
- Independent website development
For customers, members and partners
Second Story Studio Corner principles and responsibility acknowledgement
Enquiry only: an enquiry does not create a partnership, membership, listing, exclusivity or permission to represent Second Story Studio.
Market Corner
A Market Corner member remains an independent person or business. Its inclusion is not a Second Story Studio partnership and is not a blanket endorsement of every product, service or claim.
- The named member is responsible for accurate claims, permissions, intellectual property, safety, compliance, prices and availability.
- Unless a written arrangement expressly says otherwise, the member—not Second Story Studio—is the seller or service provider and controls payment, fulfilment, delivery, returns, aftercare and customer service.
- Second Story Studio prepares and manages the agreed Market Corner presentation. Content and external links require review; nothing publishes automatically, and Second Story Studio may refuse, suspend or remove unsuitable material.
Customers should check the named seller, service provider or project lead and the applicable terms before paying or commissioning work. Where an external platform is used, the transaction is with the named provider under its own terms.
