Are you an artist? Do you need a website? Let me build it for you!

Artist Websites

How Does It Work?

Step 1: Choose the theme you’d like your site modeled after.

Step 2: You’ll be provided with a form to submit the photos and text you’d like included on your site.

Step 3: Within 7 days your website will be built and ready to go!

What Else Should You Know?

  • Websites are built on Squarespace

  • You do not need an existing Squarespace account to purchase a website. After your website is built I’ll walk you through creating an account and transfer ownership of your new site over to you.

Worried about keeping your site up to date?

Don’t be! While Squarespace is very user friendly, you don’t have to make your own updates if you don’t wish to. I can make them for you! You can purchase one-off updates as needed for a small fee ranging from $15-$30 depending on the update.

Already have a website but don’t use it?

I’d be happy to show you how to move your domain over to Squarespace so you can get your site up and running again while keeping the same URL you had previously.
