Art Marketing Secrets

How many of you artists sell your work from your websites? I have found my portfolio website www.josseford.com an excellent tool for selling prints as well as originals. Usually patrons have already been exposed to my work through an art show or studio show. Sometimes years later then will end up using my website a bit like an on-line catalogue to buy more originals or limited edition art prints. Do you even have an artist’s website? When was the last time you updated your artist website? Does it reflect your best work?

Understanding how the use of space, fonts, color, and images work together to promote a piece of art uses quite a different skill set to actually creating the art Can you wait months for the site to be ready?… Do you have all the computer software and the relatively-new computer needed to build a high-quality website?… The point we are making is to think about the actual cost of developing your own site.
