Artist Website Tip #7 – Showcase Your Work Beautifully

Submitted by Daniel on September 3, 2005 – 12:08 pmNo Comment
You need to have visual design skills to create a beautiful artist website. Here are some points to get you started:•

  • Most Important: Use high-quality, professionally-photographed images. Excellence in, excellence out!
  • Keep the website simple and elegant with the focus on the art.
  • Create multiple galleries to compliment the work – just as a good physical gallery would do.
  • Choose colors that compliment (not overpower) the work. Think of the colors you would use in a physical gallery to showcase your work – neutral colors like crème, white, gray, and good safe choices.
  • Think “minimalist” not “busy” for the layout.
  • Keep your copy (text) brief. Let the art speak for itself!
