PPThe Painted Porch Project

A free resource for vendors affected by the Painted Tree Boutiques closure. Operated by DotWin LLC. Not affiliated with Painted Tree Boutiques.

The Painted Porch Project

The Painted Tree kept your clients.
We're giving them back.

The Painted Porch Project is what The Painted Tree should have been. Free resources. A national vendor community. A free $10,000 ecommerce website we'll build for you in 48 hours. Popup markets. National pickup network. And when — if — you want a full platform to run your business, yours starts at $0/mo.

What the Project is

Everything you should have had. None of the catch.

Own your business

A free $10k ecommerce site, your own domain, your customer list in your hands for the first time. No commissions above the Free tier.

Stay connected

National vendor directory so former customers can find you. Community of 10,000+ displaced vendors. Bankruptcy updates in plain English.

Keep selling

Popup markets, Porch Pro pickup network, 25-mile delivery radii, and The Online Selling Masterclass — 45 modules that walk you from no website to running your own Meta ads. Free forever.

Not Painted Tree

Why Painted Porch is different.

Painted Tree did this:

  • • Kept your customer list (you never owned it)
  • • Owned the floor space (you paid rent to them)
  • • Took a piece of every sale (commission on top of rent)
  • • Closed overnight when it stopped working for them

Painted Porch does this:

  • • Your customers are yours — email list, CRM, exportable
  • • Your store is yours — your domain, hosted but owned
  • • Porch pickup from your own front door, or a national Porch Pro network
  • • Etsy-style marketplace discoverability (we run ads, your products get seen)
  • • In-person popups when you want the energy of a physical event
  • • You keep your Stripe payouts. We never hold your money.

The most complete online-selling course you can find — beginner to expert in twelve parts. No prior website experience needed. Start at day one: what a product page is and why it matters. End at day 90: running Meta and Google ads that pay for themselves and scaling past $1,000 a day. Every lesson ends with a Do This Next button tied to the Painted Porch platform, but the knowledge works on any platform — Shopify, Etsy, your kitchen table. Yours to keep, whether you ever pay us a dollar or not.

Why it happened

They bet on floorspace.
The market moved without them.

Painted Tree didn't file for bankruptcy because their vendors stopped making beautiful things. They filed because they stacked the whole business on a bet the market already walked away from — that buyers would always drive to a shared retail floor to find what you made. The buyers drove home and opened their phones instead. Painted Tree didn't change with them.

You will.

What we're actually offering

A $10,000 website.
Absolutely free.

No credit card. No catch. Seriously.

You've lost a storefront, a customer list you couldn't take with you, and weeks of revenue. We can't give those back.

What we can give you is the tool that would have made them portable in the first place — a complete, designer-grade ecommerce website, built for your shop, delivered in 48 hours, at our expense.

What we're waiving: the design-and-development fee for a site like this runs $8,000 – $12,000 anywhere else. We've waived every dollar of it for displaced Painted Tree vendors. Full stop. Upload your product photos, tell us your shop name, give us the go-ahead — we build the rest.

  • ✓Your own custom domain
  • ✓A storefront designed around your brand — not a template picker
  • ✓All your products loaded with photos, descriptions, variants
  • ✓Stripe payouts going directly to your bank — not ours
  • ✓Porch pickup + shipping + marketplace distribution, wired end-to-end
  • ✓Mobile-first, SEO-ready, 60-day “we fix what breaks” warranty

We don't ask for a credit card. We don't ask for a contract. We don't ask for a cent.

Upload your product photos. Tell us your shop name. We'll build the rest.

Skylar & Shelby Webber · DotWin LLC

Why we're doing something this bold.

We believe in entrepreneurship.

We've spent years in the margins of small businesses. We know what it feels like to lose something you built. We also know the only thing that fixes it is new leverage — better tools, not more hope. When an aggregator takes advantage of the people who make the thing, we'll stand up to them. That's not marketing language. That's what DotWin was built to do.

— Skylar & Shelby

There's more than enough success to go around.

We're not trying to replace your Painted Tree booth. We're trying to replace the whole ideathat you needed one. You had a tough go the last few weeks — we couldn't think of a better way to help than to give you the stack to make sales that belong to you, from your own merchant account, with a customer list you own, right from the comfort of your own home. We'd rather build a thousand thriving stores than one oversubscribed platform.

— Skylar & Shelby

Floorspace is optional now

Painted Porch Marketplace

A national shopping destination we drive ads to. Your listing goes live — free — the moment you accept the build.

“Like Uber, but for your front porch.”

A national pickup network — hosted by vendors like you.

Buyers near your shop can pick up from your porch, or a nearby Porch Pro's porch. Buyers pay $8. You get $5 if you're the host — $3 goes to the platform. Not selling yet? Become a Porch Pro and earn cash hosting other vendors' pickups.

Sign up to host (earn $5/pickup) →How Porch Pros work

Sell where your shoppers are

Pickup + delivery in up to a dozen cities — without leaving your house.

A Service Cityis a 25-mile radius around any city where buyers can pickup or get delivery of your products. Your home city is included with every paid plan. Add more cities for $99/mo each or 3 for $250/mo. Don't drive to Austin — our Porch Pros do the last mile for you.

FAQ

Is this affiliated with Painted Tree?
No. Not at all. We are not affiliated with Painted Tree Boutiques, its bankruptcy estate, or any of its former staff. Operated by DotWin LLC.
What's the catch on the free build?
There isn't one. DotWin underwrites it. After your site is live you can keep it free forever, or upgrade if you want more leverage. Either way the site stays yours.
How fast is 48 hours really?
48 hours from when we have your logo, your 10–20 best product photos, and a short description of each product. If you're uploaded and responsive, 48 hours from accept to live is typical.
Do I have to host pickups from my house?
No. You choose: shipping only, shipping + local pickup from your porch, shipping + the Porch Pro pickup network, or any combination. We turn it on however you want.
Can I use my existing Etsy / Shopify / Squarespace site?
Yes, alongside — or fully on Painted Porch. We import product CSVs. Nothing to rebuild.
What if I never want to take the free build?
That's fine. Your Project listing is free forever. The LMS, community, resources, bankruptcy updates — all free, regardless. Come back when you're ready.

Ten thousand vendors already did.

The Painted Porch Project is the landing pad. Free forever starts at 60 seconds.
