Showcase your work beautifully
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.
