Beyond social media

Instagram gets you seen. Your website gets you taken seriously.

Social media is great for discovery, but it's not an archive, a gallery or a place to sell. And you don't own it.

When a collector, curator or commissioner wants to know more, they search your name, or ask an AI tool about you. What they find should show the full range of your work, your story and your exhibitions, and make it easy to buy or get in touch.

You own it

No algorithm changes, no disappearing reach. Your work, your space, for as long as you want it.

Credibility with galleries

Curators and galleries expect a professional site with your CV, statement and past exhibitions.

Found by name

When someone searches for you, your own website should be the first thing they see.

What's included

More than a grid of pictures.

A good artist website works as your gallery, your archive and your shop, and is simple enough to keep up to date yourself. Websites start from £900, with a fixed price before any work starts.

Collections & series

Organise work by series, medium or year, with large, sharp images that load quickly.

Available work

Clearly show what's for sale, with prices or "enquire" buttons, and an online shop for prints if you want one.

Commissions

A dedicated page explaining how commissions work, with past examples and a simple enquiry form.

Exhibitions & news

Upcoming shows, open studios and press, easy for you to add and update.

About, CV & statement

Everything a gallery or curator looks for, presented professionally in one place.

Photography of your work

I can photograph paintings and sculpture properly, because your website is only as good as its images.

SEO & AI search for artists

"Who's a good bronze sculptor in the Cotswolds?"

Collectors and commissioners now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews to suggest an artist, not just search. Those tools favour artists with a clear statement, well-described works, exhibition history and a website that says what you make and where.

I structure your website so it ranks for your name first, then for what you make and where, such as "Cotswolds landscape painter" or "pet portrait commissions". Several of my artist clients are near Chipping Norton and in the Wychwoods, so I know how local collectors and visitors search. Web design in Chipping Norton

Questions

Artist websites, answered.

If your question isn't here, call or email and you'll get a straight answer from me.

How much does an artist website cost?

Artist websites start from £900 for a clean portfolio site. Sites with online shops, large archives or commission booking are quoted individually. You’ll always have a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you design websites for painters and sculptors?

Yes. I’ve built websites for painters, sculptors, illustrators and creative studios, including Richard Fox, Emma Maiden, Leigh Glover and Baillie Sculpture. Each one is designed around the work rather than a template.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. Adding new work, exhibitions and news is straightforward, and I'll show you how. If you'd rather focus on making, I can handle updates for you.

Can I sell my work or prints through the website?

Yes. You can show available pieces with an "enquire" button, list prices, or add a full online shop for originals and prints, whichever suits how you like to sell.

Can you photograph my artwork?

Yes. Good photography makes a huge difference, especially for sculpture and textured paintings. I can photograph your work so it looks its best online and in print.

Will my website show up in Google?

Every artist site I build is set up to rank for your name first, then for your medium and location. Images are properly titled and described, so your work can appear in Google Images as well.

Do you work with artists outside Oxfordshire?

Yes. I work with artists across the UK, from the Cotswolds to Cornwall and London. Most projects run smoothly by video call and email, with studio visits when they're useful, for example for photography.

Can AI tools like ChatGPT recommend my work?

Yes. AI tools recommend artists whose websites clearly describe what they make, where they work, their exhibitions and how to buy or commission. I write your statement, collections and artwork descriptions so they can be quoted, then test what ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot say about you before and after the work.
