The internet is quickly becoming an accepted place to showcase your art to collectors and arts professionals. They might still want to see your work in person before they buy, but the fact remains: they saw it first on your website! Having an online art presence is very important at this time.

Your website is very quickly going to become the foundation for all your marketing and promotion activities. Every email, postcard, brochure, or letter you send out will attempt to draw the receiver to visit your site. For this reason, it is very important that you take the time and be willing to spend the money to make it a very functional showpiece – something that clearly communicates your vision and the excellence of the work that you create. In a very short time, the cost of the website will be completely insignificant compared with the value of the exposure you receive from it.
