Several years ago, I began creating websites for artists who didn't want to spend their time learning a website platform but did want a place to direct collectors, family, friends, and people interested in their work. After all, it's much easier to show someone what you do than to try to explain it.
Often, when I'm looking for an artist's work, I'm directed to social media. That can be a good way to discover someone, but it's not always very satisfying when I want to know more about the artist or spend some time looking at the art.
Unlike social media, a website is your own space. It gives your work a stable home, a place to gather your images, artist statement, biography, exhibitions, classes, and the other parts of your creative life. It can also serve as an ongoing portfolio: somewhere a curator, juror, gallery, or exhibition organizer can go to see a body of your work rather than a scattering of individual posts. And when someone simply becomes curious about what you do, it gives them a place to stay awhile and look.
A website can also help you sell artwork, promote classes, share news, and stay connected with people who are interested in what you're doing.
That's where I can help.
I've worked with artists who needed a complete website, a thoughtful update to one they already had, help solving a particular problem, or simply a hand with the technology. I work exclusively with Wix, a platform I've used for many years and one that works particularly well for visual artists.
I usually begin with a conversation about your work, what you'd like your website to do, and what matters most to you. From there, I create draft pages for you to look at. You can tell me what you like, what you don't, and what you'd like to change. We work together from there. I bring my experience and suggestions, but the final decisions are yours.
You don't need to know exactly what you need before we begin. Sometimes that's part of what we figure out together.
