Tuilder Sunset
Dear Friends & Tuilder Customers,
I have enjoyed working with you and serving you for many years through the Tuilder platform.
What's Happening?
Unfortunately I've had to make the difficult decision to sunset (discontinue) Tuilder. The platform will be shut down on 30/09/2026. Between now and then I will be committed to:
- Support you to migrate to another provider by providing data extracts as requested. This could include:
- Mailing lists (.csv extract)
- Shop products, customers & sales (.csv extracts)
- Image assets (.zip file)
- Email archive (.zip file)
- Support you to move to another provider by updating your Domain Settings (DNS and Mail records)
- Provide a pro-rata refund after you've migrated to another provider.
Please reach out to me at: emmanuelhiggins@gmail.com for support.
Why?
The why is very much a personal story.
Tuilder was a hugely ambitious project that I personally built from scratch. It included everything from domain name registration and management, web page building, form building, the email server and email address management, email marketing, a search engine, and e-commerce platform.
Tuilder never reached the scale to become financially viable. I have consistently run at a loss for many years, especially recently with increasing server costs which I have not passed onto customers.
In addition, it has been increasingly difficult to find and justify time spent on server maintenance and support.
Tuilder was, and is an amazing product, but unfortunately I don't have the capacity to continue its development and maintenance, and more importantly grow the platform to become financially viable.
Conclusion
Again, thank you for being with me on this journey. I'm sorry that this is the end of the road, but I hope you and your business have received great value from Tuilder over the years.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to support you in the migration to another provider.
Kind Regards,
Emmanuel Higgins
