“Several cottage food bakers were left stranded when a well-known ordering platform closed unexpectedly. One day, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed when I saw Andrew's post about creating Cottage CMS. I investigated his personal and business social media pages, certain he was a scammer, LOL!

I was in a panic, trying to figure out what to do.

I've had a domain name purchased for 2 years. Never used it. The platforms I found were too clunky, too much geared for normal retail customers and markets. I was thrilled to come across Cottage CMS last year. Holy Cow, what a gem of a company!! It is awesome to have a platform…
