Benefits of an Artist Website

Why should you have an artist website? There are lot's of reasons!

1) It's safer and avoids the art scams.  Many artists today have to deal with scams from people out there who pretend to be interested in their art, and then they get into a conversation that goes back and forth for a while.. there's always some weird situation involved about how they can't quite get the money right away, and you have to figure out if they are telling you the truth (they aren't). 

With an online artist website store like ArtSites, if they like your art, they can buy it. Right then. They don't need to talk you and tell you their fake life story (you're an introvert anyway).. they can just order it, pay for it with a real credit card, and you can send it to them. If the card transaction doesn't go through, you don't send the art. No scams.  

2) You have a beautiful online space to collect and showcase your art.  There's no online ads to deal with, no politics, no image size constraints, just your art arranged how you want to show it. 

3) Avoid big fees. We hear complaints about sites like Etsy and Shopify being expensive or taking large percentages of your sales. An artist website like ArtSites will never do that. We are artists ourselves and we know you want to make as much money as you can from your art! All we charge is the small hosting fee.  

4) You can easily sell print reproductions or originals. Galleries don't often want to deal in prints, but that's often what most people can more easily afford and enjoy. With an artist website, you can potentially make more money selling 100 reproductions than 1 original.

5) Customers have more choices. With an eCommerce artist website your customers can select the product, the size they want, the print quality, the frame type, or any other preset options you allow.
