Built for Artists

artist web platform

Showcase your portfolio, reach buyers and collectors, and convert visitors into clients with a professional artist website.

A dedicated web platform for artists does more than look good — it tells your story, ranks on Google, captures enquiries, and turns casual visitors into commissions and sales. Congero builds mobile-first artist websites with domain, hosting, SEO and unlimited updates from $49/month so you can focus on making art.

Why a Dedicated Artist Website Beats Social Profiles

Social platforms are great for reach, but they don't replace a controlled, optimised home for your work. Your own website:

  • Shows your work your way — curated galleries, project pages, and high‑resolution imagery without compression limits.
  • Builds search presence — properly optimised pages rank for key terms collectors use to find artists.
  • Collects enquiries & sales — lead forms, booking links, or e‑commerce that puts clients on your calendar or in your inbox.
  • Owns your audience — email capture and analytics let you nurture buyers outside of algorithms.

Artist Spotlight: What a Great Portfolio Does

High-quality images, clear services (commissions, prints, workshops), pricing or ranges, and an easy way to contact you — that's the core of converting interest into income.

How an Artist Web Platform Grows Your Career

From discoverability to conversion, a purpose-built site directly impacts income and reputation. Here are the core benefits artists see.

Portfolio Galleries That Convert

High-res galleries, lightbox views, project storytelling and categories (by medium, year, series) help collectors find the pieces they love.

Curated presentation

SEO Built for Art Buyers

Optimised titles, alt text for images, schema for artworks and local SEO improve visibility for searches like "portrait artist near me" or "abstract prints for sale".

Search-ready

Engagement & Sales Tools

Commission request forms, print store setup, booking for studio visits or workshops, and clear CTAs make it easy for clients to act.

Convert visitors

Mobile-First, Fast Loading

Most collectors browse on phones. Fast, responsive pages and image optimisation keep visitors engaged and boost SEO.

Performance focused

Unlimited Updates — No Dev Time

Change shows, add new works, update prices or promote events by messaging us — no technical skills required and no hourly fees.

Keep content fresh

Actionable Analytics

Know which artworks attract views, which pages drive enquiries, and where your traffic comes from to refine marketing and pricing.

Data-driven

Platform Features Artists Actually Use

A great artist platform bundles visual storytelling with commerce and discoverability. Below are the practical features that matter to artists today.

Project Pages & Case Studies

Long-form project pages let you describe concept, process photos, materials and provenance — key details collectors look for when valuing a piece.

Image Management & Alt Text

Automatic image compression, retina-ready delivery, and SEO-friendly alt text ensure images load quickly and contribute to search rankings.

Print & Merchandise Sales

Integrated ecommerce for prints and limited editions, with shipping options and simple inventory management.

Bookings & Availability

Let collectors book studio visits, commissions or workshops with calendar integration and automated confirmations.

Email Capture & CRM

Built-in newsletter signups and simple CRM to turn one-time visitors into repeat buyers and show attendees.

Ownership & Portability

You own your domain and content. If you move, export options and guidance make migration straightforward.

Portfolio Best Practices for Maximum Impact

Follow these practical tips to make your portfolio convert visitors into clients and collectors.

  • Lead with 6–12 strongest works — quality over quantity. First impressions matter.
  • Contextualise each piece — provide title, dimensions, materials, year and a short story or process note.
  • Use project pages — group works into series or exhibitions with behind-the-scenes images and press.
  • Clear calls to action — "Inquire about this work", "Request commission details", or "Buy print" should be visible on each page.
  • Keep image files optimised — fast pages mean better SEO and happier visitors.

SEO Tips That Help Collectors Find You

SEO for artists focuses on keywords, images and local discovery. Implement these fundamentals to improve organic traffic.

  • Artwork-focused keywords — "landscape painter Melbourne", "abstract acrylic portraits". Use variations across pages.
  • Structured data for artworks — schema markup (ArtWork) helps search engines show rich results for individual pieces.
  • Alt text & filenames — describe the image (medium, subject, colour palette) so images show up in Google Images searches.
  • Local SEO — list your city/studio so nearby buyers and galleries find you.
"After our SEO tweaks and project pages, inquiries from local collectors increased by 40%."

Technical SEO Checklist

• Fast mobile load (target under 3s)
• Unique page title & meta description for each artwork and project
• Alt text for every image (descriptive, not keyword-stuffed)
• Sitemap submitted to Google Search Console
• Schema markup for artist, artwork, event and product pages
