12 Tips for Designing an Artist Website That Showcases Your Art
Summary
Here’s the scoop on what you must know when designing a website to showcase your art, impress galleries, and win over collectors. Learn How to avoid the mistakes most emerging artists make when creating their online portfolio.
1.You need an artists website
Any artist who can classify themselves as either “emerging” or “mid-career” will definitely benefit from having their own website to promote their work. At this stage of your career it is important to be able to have a place where anyone in the world can easily access and view your work.
2.Know who you are trying to impress
Are you trying to engage a Soho gallery to sell your $20,000 paintings or sell $5 prints to children in Korea? That Soho gallery might not be impressed when they see your online-store selling prints and art cards – but on the other hand, you could make a very handsome living if you really knew how to market those art cards.
3.Make your website fit with your overall art marketing strategy
A website is most effective when it is part of a larger overall marketing strategy for your art. This includes mailings, lots of in-person gallery visits and presentations, regular (physical) showings of your work, and developing relationships with the art world. An effectively planned website can greatly compliment and simplify your other marketing efforts.
4.There is a real market for art on the internet
The internet is quickly becoming an accepted place to showcase your art to collectors and arts professionals. They might still want to see your work in person before they buy, but the fact remains: they saw it first on your website! Having an online art presence is very important at this time.
5.Have your own website and a website portfolio service
A website portfolio service (e.g. www.absolutearts.com or www.art-exchange.com is like an online slide registry. For a fee You Can upload images of your work together with a bio, artist statement, and resume. They have many visitors and are a convenient way to make your work accessible to potential clients. The down side is that they don’t display your work well, and there is little flexibility in how the art is showcased.
Your own website, on the other hand will require more work to promote, but you’ll be able to present the work in the most beautiful way. Remember the times you’ve been taken into the dimmer room in a commercial gallery? How that art which looked fairly good on the main gallery wall suddenly became something you had to take home? That’s how a good artist’s website should showcase your work.
We recommend both options – they are a perfect compliment.
6. Have a website that collectors and art professionals will enjoy
Here are some common elements which most dealers and galleries would agree on for your Website Design:
- Keep the site simple and elegant with the focus on the art itself and don’t overpower the art with a site that looks too busy
- Avoid advertising such as banner adds or sidebar adds. If you must have them, put them in a separate “resource” section
- Avoid complex effects like flash movies. In the time it takes to play your exotic entry page, your visitor may have moved on. Include your bio, artist statement, resume, contact information, gallery(s) of your work, contact information, and a pricelist.
Showcase your work beautifully
You need to have visual design skills to create a beautiful artist website. Here are some points to get you started:
- Most Important: Use high-quality, professionally-photographed images. Excellence in, excellence out!
- Keep the website simple and elegant with the focus on the art.
- Create multiple galleries to compliment the work – just as a good physical gallery would do.
- Choose colors that compliment (not overpower) the work. Think of the colors you would use in a physical gallery to showcase your work – neutral colors like crème, white, gray, and good safe choices.
- Think “minimalist” not “busy” for the layout.
- Keep your copy (text) brief. Let the art speak for itself!
7.Bring collectors and galleries to your website
Its no use having that stunning website sitting in hyperspace. Make it work for you! Here are the ways to bring quality visitors:
Search Engines: If your website has been well optimized for search engines, a search on your name or your style of art should bring up your website in the first few pages of results.
Letters of Introduction: A letter of introduction sent to a gallery or dealer is a very effective way to bring a qualified visitor to your website. Better still is to include a brochure or postcard of your work with the letter.
Advertising online or in magazines: For example, if your art is minimalist and modern in style, a banner add on an interior design website focused on the same minimalist ethic could draw a lot of traffic to your site.
You need to be able to sell your work on the internet.
But there are many ways to do it. More important than anything is that you have clear and up-to-date contact information on your website. If a buyer likes your work enough to bring out their checkbook, they will normally be happy to call you to close the sale.
It’s also handy to be able to sell directly from your website, especially if you sell lower-cost reproductions. There are simple and cost-effective ways to do this.
8. Think again before designing your own website.
- Have you really added up the total cost? Here are some questions to consider before you start designing:
- Do you have visual design skills/training?
- Can you wait several months for the site to be ready?
- Can you afford to give up a month or more of your valuable artist time?
- Do you have all the computer software and the relatively-new computer needed to build a high-quality website?
- Are you fully trained in your design software?
Can you answer “Yes” to all of the above? If so, you might think about doing it yourself. Otherwise, hire a designer!
9. Choose your website-designer thoughtfully
The most important thing here is to remember what you are trying to create – a beautiful online gallery space to elegantly show your beautiful work – this is very different from building a high-volume website selling printer ink cartridges and paper rolls!
Look for the ability to design a space to present your work. One way to do this is to find artist websites that you like and then contact the artist to get the name of their designer.
10. Know what you should pay
Artist’s website development prices range from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. Typically, bigger design firms have larger overheads and will be significantly more expensive. On the other hand, Joe down the street can probably build you a website for $200 – but you probably don’t want that website!
At Beautiful Artist Websites we have packages ranging from $700 to $2000 for simple elegant artists websites with different levels of functionality. We can also develop fully customized sites to your specifications with prices based on requirements.

A Pen And A Path $16 A Pen and a Path is a hands-on, practical resource for people who want to explore their relationship with God through writing. Unlike other books that focus on writing itself, Sarah Stockton focuses on the discoveries made–about one’s self and about God–through meditation and creative journaling. A Pen and a Path is a book for anyone who wants to explore where God has been present in the various experiences of their life, past and present. Stockton, a spiritual director and writing teacher, walks readers through thirty-five separate topics, which can be read and worked on in order or in any sequence of interest to the reader. Topics explored include religious understandings such as how God is envisioned, how religious training formed (or didn’t form) the reader, and how we envision ourselves as spiritual beings. Other chapters explore life stages: childhood, teenage years, elder years, as well as marriage, parenting, and sexuality. Focusing on emotions such as grief, shame, anger, and loneliness, as well as feelings about work provide readers with the opportunity to explore nearly any aspect of their life of faith.Sarah Stockton is a writer, writing teacher, and spiritual director. She is the founder and director of centeredpath.com, a website devoted to cultivating creativity and spirituality. Her articles have appeared in America, the Christian Science Monitor, Beliefnet.com, and many other publications. She is the author of Restless in Christ: Answering the Call to Spiritual Commitment and teaches at the University of San Francisco.For more information visit the author at http://www.sarahstockton.com |

In this extraordinary new children’s book, A Snowy Week, a seven-year-old girl named Ellen watches the weather report and thinks that since it’s now spring, there won’t be any more snow.

Until the most amazing thing happens – she sees that it did snow overnight! This makes Ellen – and us – wonder if the whole story is a dream or is it real? As things always happen, winter turns into spring, and there is no more snow. Ellen Frances Keast wrote this book when she was in the first grade.

A Winter Town $9.02 Welcome to Coopers Detection Agency: “No job too big. No detection too small.”It’s been one year since the body of a sixteen-year-old boy was found in the woods. It was just a few days past Halloween, when the snows came too early and covered up any evidence that might have been. But the boy’s parents insist that their child was murdered-even though no weapon was found and there didn’t seem to be any motive. Promising a hefty payment, the parents have hired Coopers Detection Agency. Now all Lucas Cooper has to do is convince his sister and partner, Gillian, to spend five weeks in the bitter cold in a remote town in Northern Ontario. To Gillian it all seems rather routine, dull in fact, and certainly nothing to be apprehensive about-until she discovers that all is not as it appears.As a child, Barb Bissonette’s notebook was always at hand, ready to record her inspirations, which often took the forms of poems or short stories. As an adult, her desire to write a mystery took time to manifest while she pondered the hidden complexities of crime. The result? A Winter Town. Bissonette, the author of Among Little Faces, is currently at work on her next book, Just a Bit of Magic. She lives in Washago, Ontario, where she divides her time between working as a registered nurse, writing, and taking care of her three grandchildren.Publisher’s website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/AWinterTown.html |

A community intervention strategy to increase immigrant youth resilience. $49.99 In institutions of higher learning across Arizona, undocumented students often go unnoticed. Many of these students were brought into the U.S. as young children and many have graduated from Arizona high schools. Arizona’s Proposition 300, implemented in 2007, has impacted undocumented students by denying them state sponsored financial aid and in-state classification for tuition. This has resulted in a growing concern as to how undocumented students and college staff are going to deal with this mandate. In this study, the following two research questions were developed to investigate this issue: (1) How will this mandate impact undocumented students’ lives?; and, (2) What are the obstacles these individuals will face when they can no longer afford a higher education? Using an action research approach, a website was created to provide the undocumented students as well as the community information about Proposition 300, college access and resources available. Data were collected through administration web statistics, a 42 question survey, blog postings and follow-up interviews. The website was open to any interne user, which allowed people from various geographic locations to participate. Quantitative analyses gathered from website statistics indicated significant activity from participants. The total number of website visits from participants was 752, viewing 3,310 total pages and averaging 6:44 minutes per visit. Participants visited the website from various locations throughout the U.S. and from Mexico and Puerto Rico. Of the participants (n = 299), many indicated they were female, students and Hispanic. Most participants found the website useful and confirmed high resilience characteristics and, due to the website, felt optimistic about their educational future. Qualitative analyses gathered from survey data (n = 299) and blog postings (n = 64), indicated that the greatest concern of undocumented students was that they could not afford the increase in |

Abnormal Psychology $90.96 Real Science. Real Life. Presents a balanced Scientist – Practitioner – Educator approach to understanding Abnormal Psychology. Several features distinguish this text from other textbooks currently available. First, the base of abnormal psychology rests on knowledge generated through scientific studies and clinical practice. This text emphasizes this rich blend throughout. Second, it is increasingly clear that most forms of adult abnormal behavior either begin in childhood or have childhood precursors. This text highlights what is known about the developmental trajectory of each condition. Such a focus is instrumental in helping students gain some insight into the etiology of maladaptive conditions. Third, Beidel integrates biological findings with findings from social and behavioral sciences to foster the perspective that abnormal behavior is complex and subject to many different forces, and highlight how these variables often interact in a reciprocal fashion. Fourth, scientific findings with respect to race and gender are discussed with respect to each condition. This includes a discussion of prevalence, differences in symptom manifestation, and any known etiological differences. Importantly, an effort is made to “bring to life” the nature of these conditions by providing vivid clinical descriptions. In addition to short descriptions used liberally throughout each chapter, a fully integrated case study is presented at the end of each chapter, again illustrating the interplay of biological, psychosocial and emotional factors. MyPsychLab contains study tools such as flashcards, self tests, videos, as well as Speaking Out: DSM in Context which ties real patient interview videos to specific content from the DSM-IV, helping students understand how the DSM-IV criteria applies to real people experiencing disorders.

Almost 5′4 $7.98 When she was nineteen she posted her photo on a free Internet modeling website unaware of the risk, passion and self discovery that would follow. From that day, being a college student in New York City wasn’t exciting anymore and instead being a model in New York City sounded so much better. Despite her slim chances of getting a modeling agent based on her height, she grabbed her bootstraps and used the Internet to promote herself. Except after months of running in-between her college classes to shoot with amateur photographers in their basements, penthouses, and living rooms it was inevitable that one day her mother would see her naked on the Internet. After this embarrassment she had no other choice but to change her name to Isobella. With her new name, now giving up before she made something of her self wasn’t an option. Two years later, after graduation, Isobella only had three magazine tear sheets and one lead role in a music video, but it is enough to convince her to not be sucked into the corporate world and to keep trying to model. Even if it meant giving up stability and most of her belongings, going homeless and becoming her own agent, all while fighting the doubt given to her along the way. Her story, first typed at the Apple Store on Prince Street in SoHo New York City, will inspire you to try any dream you have had. |

Alpha Trading: Profitable Strategies That Remove Directional Risk $80 In the fall of 2008, the investment world received a rude reminder that forecasts and risk have more uncertainty than we would like to believe. From August 28 to the following March 9, the S&P 500 dropped 47%. Even more remarkable was that every investment was dragged down with it—hedge funds that were expected to offer diversification, commodity funds, real estate, art, and of course, every possible stock in nearly every country. When a market like this comes along, what is a trader to do? How to manage risk? Where are the hedges?The solution to all this risk and uncertainty, says world-renowned trading systems expert Perry Kaufman, is to take market positions that are not exposed to directional risk. Trading a spread or market neutral position takes price shocks out of the picture completely. In Alpha Trading, Kaufman shows how to make trading profits even when there are no market trends and price shocks rock the markets every day. His strategies, long shown to be profitable, are called statistical arbitrage, or stat-arb, and they can be traded by holding positions for a few days, as he suggests, or for milliseconds as implemented by the big investment houses. They include all forms of stat-arb trading, from spreads to yield-curve trading to program trading, and from the simplest pairs trade to large-scale market neutral strategies. Kaufman covers each one in detail, ultimately showing you how to change the shape of your risk and drastically increase your probability of profiting under any market conditions.With his decades of experience in almost every type of market, Kaufman’s guidance, strategies, and lessons will be a welcome addition to the trading literature for professional and serious individual traders for years to come.A companion website includes spreadsheets to perform the calculations found in the book, including those for pairs trading, risk-adjusted spreads, cross-market trading, traditional market neutral trading, and other |

Chapters: Murder of George Tiller, Christian Terrorism, George Tiller, Eric Robert Rudolph, James Charles Kopp, Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, Shelley Shannon, Paul Jennings Hill, Army of God, Michael Bray, John Salvi, Leroy Carhart, Barnett Slepian, Murder of David Gunn, David Gunn, American Coalition of Life Activists, David Trosch, the Lambs of Christ, Scott Roeder. Excerpt: The American Coalition of Life Activists (ACLA) was a pro-life advocacy group that was the subject of controversy for its series of Wanted-style posters. During a 1995 meeting, the group unveiled a “wanted” poster that listed the names and addresses of a “Deadly Dozen” abortion providers. The poster accused them of “crimes against humanity ” and offered a $5,000 reward for the “arrest, conviction and revocation of license to practice medicine” of these physicians. The poster was published in Life Advocate magazine. A second poster targeted a specific person, Dr. Robert Crist, offered a reward for persuading him “to turn from his child killing,” and included his name, address, and photo. In 1996 it revealed its “Nuremberg Files ” which included dossiers on abortion providers, politicians , judges , clinic employees and other abortion rights supporters . The ACLA claimed that these dossiers could be used for trials for “crimes against humanity” when the nation’s laws changed to prohibit abortion. Neal Horsley , an activist, published the information on his website. His website greyed the names of those injured and crossed out the names of those killed by anti-abortion activists . Although the posters and website did not contain any specific threat, Planned Parenthood successfully sued the ACLA and was awarded more than $100 million by a jury. The ACLA appealed the verdict on First Amendment |

Any Child Can Write $19.95 Harvey S. Wiener shows how parents can encourage their children to write with a home program that can be used from preschool through high school. Beginning with the building of attitudes, Wiener moves through simple, varied and practical experience with the written word. By setting up an atmosphere in the home that encourages creative written expression, coupled with a parent’s guidance in writing, children gain an outlook on writing that builds confidence in their abilities to use language. This new edition addresses many heated issues about children’s education and touches on today’s critical debates: parents’ roles in school preparations, the increased stress on writing assessment and performance measures throughout a child’s education and across school sectors, and the debate over phonics. A revised and expanded section called “Key Books for Young Writers and Their Parents” will help any family stock its shelves with useful books for a home writing program. A new chapter discusses the ubiquity of home computers and word processing programs and assesses their positive and negative influences on children’s home learning experiences. In addition, Wiener describes how to find the best educational online resources and how to supervise a child’s work on the Internet. Furthermore, he emphasizes the importance of collaboration–child and parent, child and sibling–to help avoid computer abuse and establish good computer practices. Finally, he integrates discussion on computers through the text, and also offers writing exercises and samples for children to obtain from Oxford’s website. |

Appletviewer $48 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! AppletViewer is a standalone, command line program from Sun to run Java applets. Appletviewer is generally used by developers for testing their applets before being deployed to a website. As a Java developer, it is a preferred option for running Java applets that do not involve the use of a web browser. Even though the applet viewer logically takes the place of a web browser, it functions very differently from a web browser. The applet viewer operates on HTML documents, but all it looks for is embedded applet tags; any other HTML code in the document is ignored. Each time the applet viewer encounters an applet tag in an HTML document, it launches a separate applet viewer window containing the respective applet. The only drawback to using the applet viewer is that it will not show how an applet will run within the confines of a real web setting. Because the applet viewer ignores all HTML codes except applet tags, it does not even attempt to display any other information contained in the HTML document. |

Applying Generalizability Theory using EduG $37.5 Intended to help improve measurement and data collection methods in the behavioral, social, and medical sciences, this book demonstrates an expanded and accessible use of Generalizability Theory (G theory). G theory conceptually models the way in which the reliability of measurement is ascertained. Sources of score variation are identified as potential contributors to measurement error and taken into account accordingly. The authors demonstrate the powerful potential of G theory by showing how to improve the quality of any kind of measurement, regardless of the discipline.Readers will appreciate the conversational style used to present a comprehensive review of G theory and its application using the freeware EduG. To maximize understanding the authors illustrate all fundamental principles with concrete examples from different fields and contexts. Annotated applications lead students through the main concepts of G theory, while illustrating both the use of EduG and interpretation of its output. Formulas are avoided wherever possible. Exercises with data sets available on the Psychology Press website allow readers to carry out their own analyses to reinforce understanding.Brief overviews of analysis of variance, estimation, and the statistical error model are provided for review. The procedures involved in carrying out a generalizability study using EduG follow, as well as guidance in the interpretation of results. Real-world applications of G theory to the assessment of depression, managerial ability, attitudes, and writing and mathematical skills are then presented. Next, annotated exercises provide an opportunity for readers to use EduG and interpret its results. The book concludes with a review of the development of G theory and possible new directions of application. Finally, for those with a strong statistical background, the appendixes provide the formulas used by EduG.Ideal as a supplement for courses on measurement theory and/or generalizability |

Assessment of services and proposed interventions for pregnant women in Keene, New Hampshire. $49.99 Grounded theory was used to develop research questions concerning the availability of services to prenatal women in Keene, New Hampshire, a community of 23,000 in southern New Hampshire. This project aimed to identify the domains of service and risk factors for the prenatal (and newly postpartum) population, determine whether these risk factors assessed and addressed in the prenatal and postpartum population in Keene, to assess the current offering of services in the Keene area for this population, and to identify any gaps in service for this population. It was found that while all of the risk factors that contributed to adverse birth outcomes are not routinely screened for by service providers, there exists an impressive offering of services and dedicated providers available to this population. When the network of services was assessed, four gaps in service were identified: a screening tool to screen prenatal women for these risk factors; care coordination; a database of services specific to this population; and a transitional housing designed specifically to best serve prenatal women. It is recommended that the screening tool, adopted from the Florida Department of Health, be used by every service provider who interfaces with prenatal women. A web-based database was designed, organized by risk factor, with the ability to both screen individuals and refer them to relevant services in the area. It is recommended that both of these (the screening tool and the website) be used to increase care coordination. It is further recommended that the community design a transitional housing program for expecting and/or young mothers to provide support, education, and care coordination. Such a website could be developed for the prenatal population in other communities, as well as for other populations (such as those recently paroled) and those in recovery from drug and alcohol abuse). Through these efforts the services that exist can be coordinated and used to their |

Background On March 4, 2010, it was announced on the band’s website that they would be recording a new live album during their spring tour of 2010. The official quote from the website reads: “To celebrate three decades of Bad Religion, we’ll be recording a live album during our spring 2010 tour, and offering it as a free “thank you” to the loyal fans who’ve been with us through all the sweat and mayhem. So let us know who you are by joining our mailing list below, and sometime late spring we’ll let you know how you can get your free Bad Religion 30 Years Live download. We’ll be playing a few tracks at the shows from our new album, coming this fall, so this will be a great way to get a preview of the new tunes. Thanks again to the greatest and best-looking fans a band could hope for.” Release The live album will not be sold in stores, probably due to the troubles the band had in 1997 trying to get the record company to sell Tested . Instead, it will be a free download for fans who sign up to the mailing |

Banks to Sandberg to Grace: Five Decades of Love and Frustration with the Chicago Cubs $1.69 “The Cubs haven’t won a World Series since 1908, but more books have been written about them than any team except the Yankees. Banks to Sandberg to Grace is one of the best.”—Phil Tatman, Orlando SentinelThe Chicago Cubs are one of the most beloved teams in all of sports, though not for their success on the baseball field. The post-­World War II years have been especially rough for the Cubs: they have been without a pennant since 1945—longer than any team in the major leagues. But devoted Cubs fans continue to faithfully follow their team each season, regardless of the result. Banks to Sandberg to Grace takes the reader on a nostalgic journey through the triumphs (few), the heartaches (many), and the lighter moments, as told by those who were actually there—on the field, in the front office, or behind the scenes.In the more than 60 first-person stories spanning the last 50 years, each storyteller shares his or her personal, revealing account of what it was like to play or work for the Chicago Cubs. Hank Sauer laughs about fans in the bleachers throwing tobacco at him. The team’s longtime equipment manager, Yosh Kawano, talks about gaining the trust and friendship of players like Ryne Sandberg. And the late WGN-TV producer Arne Harris reminisces about sharing an earpiece with Jack Brickhouse and Harry Caray.Cut from the cloth of memory, these warm, insightful stories make a perfect gift for Cubs fans, who, through love and frustration, remain forever faithful to their team and to the promise of “wait ’til next year.”Carrie Muskat is a reporter for MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball. Formerly a regular contributor to USA Today, she is also the author of eight sports books for children. She has covered the Cubs since 1987 and lives in Chicago, just a few miles from the Friendly Confines. |

Bayesian Core: A Practical Approach to Computational Bayesian Statistics $69.67 This Bayesian modeling book is intended for practitioners and applied statisticians looking for a self-contained entry to computational Bayesian statistics. Focusing on standard statistical models and backed up by discussed real datasets available from the book website, it provides an operational methodology for conducting Bayesian inference, rather than focusing on its theoretical justifications. Special attention is paid to the derivation of prior distributions in each case and specific reference solutions are given for each of the models. Similarly, computational details are worked out to lead the reader towards an effective programming of the methods given in the book. While R programs are provided on the book website and R hints are given in the computational sections of the book, The Bayesian Core requires no knowledge of the R language and it can be read and used with any other programming language.The Bayesian Core can be used as a textbook at both undergraduate and graduate levels, as exemplified by courses given at Université Paris Dauphine (France), University of Canterbury (New Zealand), and University of British Columbia (Canada). It serves as a unique textbook for a service course for scientists aiming at analyzing data the Bayesian way as well as an introductory course on Bayesian statistics. The prerequisites for the book are a basic knowledge of probability theory and of statistics. Methodological and data-based exercises are included within the main text and students are expected to solve them as they read the book. Those exercises can obviously serve as assignments, as was done in the above courses. Datasets, R codes and course slides all are available on the book website.Jean-Michel Marin is currently senior researcher at INRIA, the French Computer Science research institute, and located at Université Paris-Sud, Orsay. He has previously been Assistant Professor at Université Paris Dauphine for four years. He has |
