Too often we hear about artists who have paid huge dollars to set up a web site that they have no control over. They have to pay huge fees each time they want to make a small change. The other end of the scale are those that have spent very little setting up a site that is not search engine friendly, tricky to update and is really just a brochure online rather than a fully fledged business tool.

We’ve fixed all that. Now you can have a web site that has been designed specifically for artists; a web site that allows you to change the content of the pages using a simple word-processing interface; a web site that allows you to sell your work and collect the money securely without paying huge dollars for shopping carts.

Take a look at www.debgillett.com and www.lydiavandenberg.com to see two artists version’s of how the site can look. Every site is personalised to your look but the background basics remain the same.

Here’s what the site offers…

• 4 initial pages which are usually things like Home, Contact Details, Details about the artist, workshops and the like, it’s up to you.
• A news blog page that allows you to enter news items as often as you want and list them chronologically.
• A galleries page that will allow you to set up as many sub-galleries as you need for different styles of work.
• The details you display for each image can be customised to suit you.
• You can list multiple sizes and prices for each image.
• You can accept payment via a Paypal account – simply set up a free account with Paypal and we then code in the details so you can accept payment via credit card.

Want something more? You certainly can have it but we’ve looked at sites all over the web and talked to many artists about what they need and this makes a great starting point offering incredible flexibility and putting much of the control in your hands. Still want more? Sure, anything is possible, for a price!

Contact us for details on pricing – you’ll be surprised – many web sites with these features can cost thousands of dollars but not this one. Want to know if it really works?

Thanks Mark- I really appreciate what you have done for me, and the site is marvellous. The site is already making a difference- just in the credibility I gain by being able to direct people there. Thanks again, Deb
