Get the best out of art pieces with a professional website

Today, social networks have become the main promotional tool for online artists. Ant that’s for a good reason. For example, most users pay great attention to how easy is to create a page on a social platform, add friends, and regularly share new artworks such as paintings, ethnic wear, antiques, etc. Step by step, it can be very helpful in gathering a great number of followers.

However, based on what many artists all over the world consider, social media cannot be the main method of promoting artists. But, when used alongside a professional artist website that can be shared at various other platforms an artist uses (ie. Pinterest, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, etc.), it will eventually be much more useful.

But, when it comes to a specialized website, usually artists don’t spend their time trying to design a website from scratch, but focus on creating their paintings, for example. Therefore, they will need a place where they can easily display their work without worrying about website development. The main advantage of such sites is that they are easy to use and help artists get better visibility on the web with no huge investments.

One would ask why using such website when there are plenty of opportunities to have your own website by hiring a professional developer. But, here we face the financial aspect of such decisions. Hiring a web designing firm to create a website can cost you thousands of dollars. Of course, there are much cheaper options, but it is quality that matters.

Benefits of using specialized websites for artists

2.    It proves your professionalism in the field.

3.    It implies that you care about how your art is presented.

5.    You get a more professional look. As it has been already mentioned above, the artist website features a much higher degree of professionalism than any social network does.

6.    You will gain more followers. Visitors are more likely to buy if they see your works on a well-structured and attractive website.
