Here is our current development plans:

PatternPost™ follows it's parent company The Idea Shop Inc. in an unwavering dedication to help empower creative individuals. The main features of which, after nearly 40 years of service in the craft industry, are to help creative individuals become successful through allowing artists and authors to have a great deal of creative control and to be financial prosperous while doing so. We have done so for the last 15 years by publishing instructional books for the Decorative Painting and Craft industry under the name EASL Publications. EASL is an acronym for Essential Authors Services and we have established a unique and important presence in the Crafts industry by allowing authors to retain ALL RIGHTS TO THEIR BOOKS. In fact it is more like the authors paying us royalties rather than the more usual inverse. We have grown in a steady and determined manner and have invested in painting instructional information available on the web at YouCanPaint (currently being translated in French and Spanish). We have also secured our own transaction portal to serve all of our sites at Checkout-Safe.

PatternPost™ has some powerful features that are uniquely sculpted to artisans and craftspeople. We have also recently added new data collection so that PatternPost™ users can see how many times each posting has been viewed, total sales as well as how many times customers have clicked away to the artist's/author's own sites.

We have some excellent new development in the works and those already publishing or those who wish to publish in the Crafts Industry will be very pleased with what is coming.

Back to prices: Similar to other sites, many of our basic features will remain free at the end of the Beta/testing period. Fees will then be collected to obtain access the more advanced features and an advanced Control Panel.

Now is a great time to take advantage of this self-empowering site.
