Website for artists
As an artist the work is your presentation. A quiet, calm website does more for it than a page full of effects. With SnabbSajt you get a gallery where the images take up space, a short text about how you work and a way for someone to ask about a piece or commission something.
You do not need to know web design. Describe your work and the page is built for you, mobile-friendly and easy to add new pieces to as you make them.
The works need captions, not only images
An image with no details can't be judged and can't be searched. Under each work, write the title, the year, the medium, the dimensions, and whether it's sold, available or part of a series. Someone considering a purchase wants the size before she asks the price, and someone searching for a medium or a subject only finds work that has the words written somewhere.
Buying and commissioning are two different questions
One person wants to buy something you've already made, the other wants you to make something for a wall of a particular size. Write out both routes separately: how a purchase works, whether you ship and how, and how a commission works - what you need to know, how long it takes, and whether you take a deposit before starting. Quotes and invoices go out from the same place as the website.
Exhibitions and where the work can be seen in person
Write out where you're showing right now and when, which galleries hold your work, and whether the studio can be visited and how. Keep the list current - an exhibition that ended a year ago says the page isn't looked after. A short line about what's coming also gives anyone following you a reason to come back.
Write about the work, not about art in general
An artist's statement about the space between things says little to someone who has just found you. Write briefly and concretely instead: what you work with, which materials, where you're based, and what recurs in what you make. A few sentences is enough. Concrete words are also the only thing a search engine and a visitor have in common.

Frequently asked questions
You show the work with a price and take enquiries through the form. The buyer gets in touch, you agree on shipping and format, and you settle payment the way you normally do. Many artists prefer it that way, since shipping and format need agreeing anyway.
You upload the image from your phone and add the title, the technique and the size. The page updates straight away, with no need to start over.
