Artists are not the only ones who need professional-quality websites.
Arts organizations, art galleries and art-related businesses need to be
just as aware of the image they project on the Internet. Fortunately, we
have many years of experience working with arts-related businesses and
organizations and can help you clarify your needs and make informed
choices.
Arts Organizations
Organizations that cater to art patrons and artists have special
requirements. Depending on your target audience, you may need to
showcase art just as well as an artist or gallery. Arts organizations
often need a member login area for information to be distributed just to
members. Some may need a corresponding database and reports for tracking
dues and other aspects of their member base. Some organizations may want
a shopping cart, or even to allow members to update information that
appears on the site.
There are many things to consider when creating the ideal website for
your organization. It should look good, function well and produce the
exact results you're looking for.
Art Galleries
Galleries face many of the same issues as artists - the art should
predominate, while conveying a sense of the gallery that is offering it.
Some galleries want shopping carts, some need to give artists access to
update pages showcasing them, and some can make good use of a blog to
use in building relationships with their patrons.
A gallery website should be as unique and compelling as the gallery
itself is, while being easy to navigate and peruse the art.
Marketing Your Site
Once you have your website and blog, how are you planning to get traffic
to them? We can help you determine the best choices based on your goals,
budget, and personnel.
