DJs: own your gigs and your client list.
Showcase your mixes, weekend availability, and equipment. Hosts book directly. No platform inserting itself into your set list.
Gig platforms take a cut of every wedding booking — sometimes 20% of $1,500. Craftly costs $10/month flat.
Example: A 5-hour wedding reception at $800 with your full setup.
How you get discovered
Your profile works for you 24/7 — consumers find you while you’re busy doing great work.
Your profile goes live
Create your profile with your services, portfolio, rates, and service area. It's immediately visible to consumers searching nearby.
Consumers find you
When someone searches for your service in your area, your profile appears with your work, reviews, and rates. No bidding, no competing on price.
They choose you
Consumers browse your full profile — portfolio, reviews, credentials — and send you a connection request when they're ready.
You connect directly
Accept the request and start communicating. No platform in the middle. The client relationship is yours from day one.
