Website Design for Artists
An artist website that turns interest into commissions you can quote
The friends of past collectors still look you up. Your website should show the work in series with size, medium and what is still available, explain how commissions work, and ask for the size, subject, timing and budget, so a referral turns into a request you can price.
$0 upfront build. Hosting and care from $50 a month. Essentials $50, Advantage $85 and Priority $125 a month. They differ by how many changes we make for you each quarter, how fast we make them, and how many blog posts you get.

What the site does for artists
Series with availability
Each series with size, medium and an available or sold mark, so a collector sees what they can still buy.
A commissions page
How it works, how long it takes, how deposits work and starting prices for common sizes.
About, with your shows
Your statement and where your work has been shown, for the galleries and collectors who check.
Prints and originals for sale
An online store for prints and available originals, added to your plan when you are ready to sell.
Where your business is
Is this the right step for you?
Busy, but stuck on word of mouth
Fits bestThis is where it fits best. You have the work and a name among past collectors, and a site that shows both turns their referrals into requests you can quote.
Just starting out
If you are just starting, the free website is the place to begin. This page is for an artist with a body of work and commissions coming in.

Questions
What artists ask us
Can I sell prints and originals on the site?
Yes, with an online store, which is a feature added to Advantage or Priority. With a store, we photograph up to 20 of your pieces one time, free, when you bring them in.
Will the website get me more commissions?
We do not promise commissions, leads or rankings. Search optimization is included, so your work and the commissions you take have pages built to be found.
What does it cost?
The build is $0 upfront. Hosting and care is monthly: Essentials $50, Advantage $85 and Priority $125 a month. They differ by how many changes we make for you each quarter, how fast we make them, and how many blog posts you get. Features like booking or an online store add to the plan's price. Your exact monthly price is confirmed before you decide, and it is never based on how complex your site is.
When does billing start?
Hosting billing starts the day your website goes live. If we are still waiting on something from you 60 days after you sign, such as your domain access, your content or your approval, billing starts then instead. If we are the ones holding things up, it waits until the site is live.
Who owns the website?
Your brand, your domain and the content you give us are always yours. The website and its code belong to Sweet Dreams while we host it, and you can buy them at any time. The buyout price goes down the longer you host with us.
Who makes changes after launch?
We do. Your plan includes update hours every quarter, 3, 9 or 16 depending on the plan, and you send changes from your client portal. Work beyond your hours is quoted first, and you approve it before it starts.
