I’ve spent the last 3 months watching vendors in Lagos and Abuja lose customers because of "Link Chaos."
Most of us are told we need expensive subscriptions or ₦300k websites to look professional. But here is the truth: Your customers don't want a "website." They want your WhatsApp Catalog and they want it FAST.
If you are sending people from Instagram to a link, then to a landing page, then to a DM... you are losing 60% of your sales in the "clicks."
I got tired of seeing my friends struggle, so I built a "Bridge." I call it MyShub (myshub.site). It’s a free hub that connects your WhatsApp, Catalog, and Socials in one page. No ₦50k fees. No complicated setup.
I’m looking for 13 more "Founding Vendors" to join our first 7 to help me test if this actually doubles their conversion rates. If you join today, you get Pro for Life because I want your feedback, not your money.
What’s your biggest struggle with selling on WhatsApp right now? Let’s talk.

Building a website is great, but for many small vendors, it's like buying a trailer when you only need a bike to deliver goods. If you just need a professional place for your links and catalog, a 'Digital Hub' is a better first step. It gives you that professional look without the ₦50k+ price tag. We built MyShub specifically to be that bridge. See the story here: https://myshub.site/blog/why-we-built-myshub-bridge.html

Great thread! One thing I’m seeing in the 'reality' of 2026 is that vendors are working harder but not smarter with their data. If you don't know if your customers are coming from TikTok or WhatsApp, you can't scale. Using a centralized hub with analytics is a game-changer. I’ve shared some tips on how to turn that visitor data into actual sales here: https://myshub.site/blog/understanding-your-analytics.html

MyRentic:
Nice project. My honest feedback.
The store pages is too thin, and won't get indexed which beats the purpose of a webpage.

Thanks for the feedback! You're right about the indexing challenge for SPAs. I've actually just implemented a Dynamic Rendering solution using Cloudflare Workers. Now, when Googlebot hits a shop, it gets a fully optimized, content-rich HTML page with meta tags and structured data, while users still get the fast app experience. The 'thin content' issue is officially solved! 🚀

For the past few months, I’ve been watching talented Nigerian vendors on Instagram and WhatsApp struggle to stay organized. Most of them are told they need a ₦300,000 website to be 'professional,' but they just don't have that capital yet.
I decided to build a bridge. I built MyShub (
https://myshub.site
)as a simple, zero-cost hub where they can host their WhatsApp catalog, location, and social links in one place. It’s not a replacement for a custom site, but it’s a way to start today.
I’d love to hear from other entrepreneurs: What was your biggest tech challenge when you first started? Was it the cost, the complexity, or something else?

Hi everyone, I just finished building a new platform called MyShub (
https://myshub.site
). I built it from scratch to help small vendors who can't afford professional web dev yet to have a clean, fast hub for their business.
I’m not a pro designer, so I’d really appreciate some honest criticism from the webmasters here. How does the mobile responsiveness look? Is the navigation intuitive enough for a non-tech user? Please tear it apart—I want to make it better for the community. Thanks!"

I agree with the experts here, but what about the small vendors with ₦0 budget?

I've been following this thread, and I agree with the professional developers here—a custom-coded website is a massive asset for an established brand. But as a founder myself, I keep seeing a huge problem: What happens to the thousands of small vendors, skincare pluggers, and thrift sellers who don't have ₦300k to ₦500k to start?
Are they just supposed to stay on WhatsApp and Instagram forever with messy links?
That’s exactly why I built MyShub (
https://myshub.site
). I didn't build it to replace high-end agencies; I built it to be the First Step. It’s a free business hub that lets anyone set up a professional page with their catalog and social links in under 2 minutes.
We even had an autonomous AI agent (Manus AI) test the platform, and it was able to build its own verified hub completely on its own (
https://myshub.site/manus-ai
). If you are a vendor who is currently 'homeless' on the web because of high costs, MyShub was built for you. Let's get you online today for free.

I’ve seen too many small business owners, teenagers, and new sellers who want a website but can’t afford it.

A simple landing page from a designer costs ₦50,000 – ₦60,000 (sometimes more). Then you still pay for hosting, domain, and maintenance. If you’re just starting out, that’s almost impossible.

So I built something different. It’s called MyShop.

What it is:
A professional page for your business that looks like a website, but you can set it up yourself in 2 minutes. No coding. No designer. No expensive fees.

What you get (for free):

· Your logo, business name, tagline, location, phone, email
· Catalog preview – paste any Selar, Shopify, or Google Sheet link
· WhatsApp catalog link (/c/...)
· Social links (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music – anything)
· Messaging buttons (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Messenger) – one tap to chat
· About section to tell your story
· Analytics to see how many people visit your page

Pro plan (₦1,500/month):

· 10 socials, 3 custom links (add Google Forms, Calendly, booking page), brand colors, no ads

Premium plan (₦3,500/month):

· Unlimited socials, unlimited custom links, white‑label (no MyShop branding), feedback form, gradients

Compare that to paying a designer ₦50,000.

With MyShop, you can start for free. If you later need more features, upgrade for less than the cost of one small outing.

Who is this for?

· Small shop owners (fashion, beauty, food, crafts)
· Musicians and creatives (link your Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube)
· Selar and WhatsApp catalog sellers
· Freelancers and service providers
· Teenagers starting their first business

Every MyShop page has proper meta tags and structured data. People can find you on search. But even before that, you can share your link on Instagram, WhatsApp, and TikTok – and it will look professional.
