online solutions for artists, sculptors & crafts-makers

websites, blogs, social media, e-commerce & more...

Websites, blogs, and other online media that show artists, sculptors, and crafts-makers in their best light don’t just happen by accident. It takes arts-friendly designs combined with advanced methods, tools, and services that are built from the start with creative professionals in mind.

I create attractive websites and blogs for artists and makers that outperform the alternatives by blending the latest media and web technologies with deep knowledge of the arts community and unique insights to marketing, promoting, and selling fine art and craft online.

website & blog design

Websites that I create are designed and built from the ground up to perfectly represent your creative works. These sites are attractive, easily navigated, and optimized to produce a meaningful and satisfying experience for your online visitors and patrons. They are also fully compliant with the lastest web standards for online performance and search engine visibility.

I also design and implement blogs for creative professionals and arts organizations using a variety of established blogging platforms such as TypePad, WordPress, etc.

content management & e-commerce

For artists and makers who want complete control, I frequently bundle websites with specialized hosting and content management tools. One such tool is myStudioAssistant, a comprensive "CMS platform" for self-managing and publishing arts-oriented websites. Additional popular CMS solutions are also available according to your unique needs.

For clients who want to sell work directly from their website, several e-commerce solutions and a variety of online shopping cart systems and payment options are available. Familiar, robust, and easy-to-use online tools and services such as Shopify, PayPal, plus many more are often included as part of the solutions I create for my clients.

social media strategies & solutions

I'm currently expanding my practice to include designing and implementing attactive, functional 'online presences' within any of the popular social media networks such as FaceBook, MySpace, and more. I can also help with implementing strategies for leveraging these tools in ways that can significantly enhance your audience visibility.

how much does it cost?

Complete, professionally-built websites for artists and makers start at CDN$300. On-going services and support bundles that include domain registration, hosting, bandwidth, email, and a full subscription to myStudioAssistant start at CDN$25 per month.

Custom website design and development services are also available. Fees vary according to individual clients’ needs and are generally charged at a rate of CDN$50 to CDN$100 per hour depending upon the nature and amount of work that needs to be done.
