Okay, you decided you want a website, so NOW WHAT!
If you’re reading this you know that it is time to put your work online, but have you considered the added benefits of being online and having a website. Your website is not only a place to share your art with the world. It is also a place to…
- Send galleries and clients to see your work.
- Write about and share your process
- Let people know you offer classes and workshops
- Make submissions to galleries or juried exhibitions
- Sell your art online
Once you have a website you’ll discover it’s also a way to find new clients. Your business cards will have a website address to hand out when some one asks “Do you have a website?” and you get to say “Why yes; yes I do.”
