Websites For Artists
Are you an artist or photographer? Do you need a website that will make you stand out from your peers? Let me help you with my websites for artists service.
A website design service aimed specifically at artists and photographers that will help you to display your art and photography in the best possible way. It will help you to reach more customers and sell more art and photography both at home and overseas.
My Websites For Artists Service Promise
“Unlike many website designers who build websites for any businesses I specialise in creating websites for artists. Using my website for artists service you will receive a website that has been developed using leading industry tools. It will look fresh and modern and work well on any device. It will have been carefully designed to fit with your branding and will be designed to interface with other key systems in your marketing strategy.
You will be involved from start to finish throughout the design and implementation to ensure that the design meets your expectations and once complete you will receive training to show you how to add further products and features to your website so that you can run the website yourself or further support can be purchased if you would prefer me to maintain it for you.”
Before I tell you about my website design service let me tell you who it is for …
You are an artist or photographer. Perhaps you have been producing work for a while and have been experiencing some success locally at shows and exhibitions. You are passionate about your craft but know that there are easier ways to sell your work if only you can reach more of the right customers.
Maybe you have previously created a website but without the necessary skills you have been unable to create something that reflects your work well or it has not been optimised well enough to be seen by enough people.
Maybe you are confident in tweaking things yourself once they are up and running but you want an expert with knowledge of your industry to show you exactly what is needed first.
You know that selling online is the way forward but are overwhelmed by the number of choices, platforms and so on. You want somebody with experience to tell you exactly what you need and show you how to put it all together.
Your time is precious. You don’t want to waste it working everything out on your own. You want things to happen quickly so that you can spend more of your time doing what you love.
My websites for artists service is for you if …
You are selling art well in person but new to internet selling
Perhaps you are already selling successfully at shows, exhibitions and galleries but have seen your income considerably reduced by the recent pandemic and cost of living crisis. You have realised that you need to be online to open up extra income streams and provide more security.
It is a change for you, it feels so different and takes you out of your comfort zone. You feel overwhelmed by the tech and feel like you are starting again despite many years of experience.
You are already selling online but not as well as you want to
Your efforts are not getting you the results you want and you don’t know what to do to change that. You sell well at shows, exhibitions and galleries so it’s not your product. Frustrated by the costs of shows, high gallery commissions and constant weekends on the road away from family you feel it is time to sell more directly.
You are doubting the effectiveness of online selling wondering whether it actually works. You want to be able to work out what is wrong and how to put things right so that you can move forward with confidence and sell your work the way you want to sell it.
If you see yourself here then you are in the right place. With my websites for artists service I am going to give you the tools, inspiration, knowledge, confidence and support needed to propel you on your journey to creating a successful online art, craft or photography business that grows year on year.

“I would certainly recommend working with Paul – he is an expert in his field. The whole process from start to finish has been smooth. His attention to detail is excellent and he has a good understanding of what artists want. Through a series of discussions and remote sessions we arrived at exactly what I wanted and he has guided me through using the platform myself so that I can add and update things and it is really easy to use. Really delighted with the results and now my husband wants Paul to create a new website for his business!”

“Paul has a fine attention to detail and researches the latest developments in marketing and web design to keep websites up to date. He is very patient and is able to guide the less tech savvy through the pitfalls of website design and maintenance. I have learnt a lot through working with Paul!”
Additional Website Products Design (£40 each)
Product pages involve a lot of work to do well which is why numbers are limited in the plans above. You can, however, add additional products to any of the plans either immediately or at a later date. This service is charged per product and will include the following features (note quotes are available if you need to add multiple products such as a new product range).
- develop a webpage and product listing for the new product
- manipulate up to 5 photographs to be used with your product listing
- perform search engine optimisation on the page to make it easy to find on search engines
- submit the new page to Google
Paying for additional products can be a particularly good investment for lower priced limited and open edition products as well as high priced one off items due to the extra exposure they are likely to receive.
Other Website Extras
There are a handful of additional costs when building a website for you which are detailed below. These costs are often paid directly to 3rd parties who provide these services or I can arrange to manage them on your behalf as part of my service. The costs will be very similar to costs you will incur for these services wherever you host your website.
- website hosting (approx £200pa)
- domain hosting (approx £15-£30pa depending on domain)
Deposit
A 25% deposit will be required before starting any website development. The balance will then be required within 7 days of completion. No further developments identified during the process will be undertaken until your balance has been paid in full.
Timescales
Timescales will be advised at time of order. As a general rule developments are charged at £375 per day and from starting your development. I generally allocate 1 day per week to it although multiple developments may be taking place at the same time. A Bronze development is therefore likely to take 3-4 weeks. A Silver development would take 5-6 weeks and a Gold development 8-9 weeks. Please use this as a guide, however, as there will be times I will be waiting on things from you as well as you waiting on me. You will be advised when your development is likely to start at time of order.
“Working with Paul on our new website has been a pleasure. His thorough and diligent approach to the job has produced fantastic results. He also provided some great training that means we can run and maintain all aspects of our site. Paul is easy to work with and works hard to get the best results for his clients.”
Would You Like To Learn More?
Why not book a no obligation call to discuss your requirements further. We can speak by telephone or ideally on a Zoom call where I can take you through things on screen to show you the kind of things your website needs and what I have developed for others. There is absolutely no commitment to purchase. What have you got to lose?
