For artists.

Your online presence has one job: showing the work without getting in front of it. Plus an area you maintain yourself – new works, exhibitions, workshops. And if you want to sell, an online shop that doesn’t look like a site builder.

Why it’s different

The work should make the impression, not the website.

Anyone opening your site should see your signature, not the template. With art this is stricter than in other industries: every colour the website adds sits on top of the work. That’s why I deliberately hold back the design – one typeface, lots of white space, no animation competing with the pieces.

The second point is maintenance. A portfolio you can only change through me is out of date after a year. You add new works, exhibition dates and workshops yourself, without the design falling apart.

And if you sell: an online shop for art works differently from one for consumer goods. Originals exist once, prints in editions, some works only on request. The site has to reflect that without turning into a catalogue.

What I do for artists

Brand, website and online shop for artists.

Brand & Graphic Design

An identity that suits your work – from the logo to the invitation card for your next exhibition.

Web Design & Development

An artist website for works, exhibitions and workshops that you maintain yourself.

Portals & Applications

An online shop for art – for originals and prints, or a purchase enquiry right on the work.

What artists need.

Works in the CMS

You upload, sort and hide new work yourself – with title, year, technique and dimensions, the details people actually search for.

Series and bodies of work

Works rarely stand alone. Every series gets its own address so you can link to it.

Online shop for art

Originals, editions and prints follow different rules. The shop reflects that instead of treating everything as stock.

Buy or enquire

Not every work belongs in a shopping basket. Some you’d rather sell in conversation – both can sit side by side.

Exhibitions and dates

Current and upcoming exhibitions, openings and fairs in one place. Past ones move to the archive instead of being deleted.

Workshops and classes

Dates, places and registration run through the site. If you teach, that’s often the part that pays for it.

CV, press, contact

Exhibition history, publications and downloads ready for press and galleries. Every curator asks for it eventually.

Large images, short loading times

Every work comes in several resolutions and modern formats and loads as you scroll. Full quality without progress bars.

Examples from the industry

Two examples from art.

For Any Art from Herzogenaurach I built a website where originals, workshops and exhibitions sit side by side. And for Mila Veljača a relaunch with an online shop, so she can sell her work directly through her own site.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises.

01

Review the works

Not everything that’s good belongs on the site. We choose the works that show what you stand for – and decide what’s for sale and what isn’t.

02

Structure

By series, by technique or chronologically. Plus the question of whether exhibitions, workshops and shop need their own areas or run together.

03

Design

If helpful, I’ll show you design ideas or a clickable prototype first. I design with your real work instead of placeholders.

04

Build and hand over

Build, image optimisation, testing on real devices, training. After that you add new works and dates yourself.

Before you get in touch

Are we a good fit?

Good signs

  • ✓You have enough work to make a selection.
  • ✓You want to add new works and dates yourself afterwards.
  • ✓Fewer works, but the right ones – you can live with that.
  • ✓The site should show your signature, not mine.

Probably not

  • ×All works should go on the site; choosing is hard.
  • ×Your budget is fixed before it’s clear what you need it for.
  • ×A ready-made template would do the job.

The questions that come sooner or later

Answered in advance.

Who owns the site in the end?

You do. Domain, access and content run on your own accounts, and I build the site so someone else could take it over without untangling it first. That keeps you independent of me.

What if I’m not around?

You get all access details, the files and documentation someone else can read. Classes and structure are named so other developers can find their way around.

How long does it take?

That depends a lot on the scope – a website is on a different scale from a portal or an ongoing collaboration. You’ll get a reliable timeframe after our first conversation.

What does it cost?

One-page websitefrom €2,500
Multi-page websitefrom €5,000
Brand design for your companyfrom €3,500
Client portalfrom €10,000
Ongoing supportfrom €350 per month

I’ll give you the exact scope after our first conversation.
