Our mission is to teach everyone to fix everything. That's what makes us get up in the morning, and that's what makes me excited to work from dawn to dusk making the site better.
We've been hearing loud and clear from the professional repair community that there are some simple things we could to do help them out. I agree. So we've created some new tools for professionals.
Here's what we've released as part of iFixit Pro so far:
- Business startup advice
- Wholesale parts
- Professional tools
- Dedicated business pages to promote your brand
We have a few more things in the works.
One of the major reasons we're expanding our offerings to professionals is because we want to broaden the mix of expertise on Answers and the rest of the site. We get a lot of questions that never get answered, and it would sure be nice to have a broader range of expertise available to help.
That means welcoming new techs to the site and embracing a variety of in-depth technical topics. All questions and answers are welcome here as long as they're helping people fix things.
So no, we're not changing our mission or our focus. We're just getting more relevant to a bunch of really smart fixers.
Fixers come from all walks of life. By definition, we're all amateurs at fixing most things out there. Some of us make a living by getting really good at fixing a narrow selection of products. I don't know how to fix most stuff, but I'm eager to share what I do know how to repair. And I'm super interested in learning from the rest of you.
