The Right Web Pages for Your Artist Website

Artist need a website that clearly expresses who they are, what type of photography and other resources they sell, and how they can be contacted. One of the most important pages you’ll create is your homepage which should function as a glimpse into your best work with high-quality image galleries that visitors can click on to see more. A great website also accounts for often overlooked pages like thank you pages, or pricing pages that you may only share with interested buyers. Our artist website templates come with pre-built pages and a design and layout that make showcasing an artist’s work and talent a breeze.

A Robust Artist Portfolio to Share Your Work

Any great artist needs to share their work in a bold, big, beautiful, compelling way and tell the story behind each piece and share what makes it unique. That’s why you need an artist WordPress theme that makes it easy to create an online portfolio. Your portfolio page can show peeks behind the scene, the work from different angles, pictures, videos, and even notes of whether it’s for sale or already sold.

Avenues for Interested Buyers or Clients to Contact You

Artists need to make it easy for interested buyers, art galleries, and anyone else who has questions get answers. Create a contact form and page for inquiries. You also need to create an immersive user experience for buyers who want to hire you or commission a custom piece.

An Online Store to Sell and Ship Your Artwork

To earn a living as an artist or creative, you need to be able to sell your artwork online to a global audience. Whether you want to sell each piece individually or set up an artist store to encourage buyers to load up their cart, our website templates include ecommerce integrations and everything you need to start selling quickly.

An About Page that Helps People Get to Know You

Art lovers love to get to know the artists they are supporting. Sometimes the artist’s personal story and passion is what inspires someone to buy their art in the first place—so you as an artist, need to help people get to know you, like you, and trust that you’re the amazing creative talent you appear to be.

Social Proof and Testimonials

The fastest way to build trust with new clients and customers is to leverage social proof and show them that other people have hired or bought from your business in the past and had a great experience. Sharing testimonials, case studies, or reviews not only help mitigate risk and put prospective clients at ease, but they also show them what’s possible if they hire you and inspire them to take action.

Professional, User-Friendly, and Intuitive Design

Professional, beautiful design ensures your business is taken seriously. It also helps build respect and trust, positions your business as higher quality, and helps people find what they need quickly and easily. Your website should also have a clear and intuitive navigation structure that enables visitors to find the information they are looking for easily. A user-friendly navigation enhances the overall user experience and reduces bounce rates.

A List of Upcoming Events and Exhibitions

If you participate in art exhibitions, workshops, or events, keep an updated calendar or section highlighting your upcoming and past engagements. This shows your dedication to your craft and involvement in the art community.

Here are some of the frequently ask questions our support team is asked by artists considering one of our website templates:

See Mai Theme Options & Pricing

What is the best way to create a business website?

The combination of WordPress, Mai Theme, and Mai Engine provides you with unmatched power and flexibility—the optimal foundation for creating your artist website. We choose WordPress to build on because we love how it puts artists in control of all of their content, from the words on the page, to images, video, and audio content. With Mai Theme and WordPress, it’s so user-friendly that you can make changes on the fly without needing to engage an expensive web designer or worry about custom code.

What is the best page builder or website builder for an artist?

Artists don’t need to buy another thing, like a third-party website builder, to create an amazing website they’re proud of and excited to market. With the WordPress block editor, you get all the functionality and ease of a website builder, without the limitations of typical drag and drop page builders. Customize to your heart’s content—with the easy to use visual composer and theme customizer—and create something that is truly unique to your brand. (However, if you really want to use a page builder plugin like Beaver Builder or Elementor, you still can with Mai Theme.)

Can I use free WordPress themes for my business?

While it is possible to use free WordPress themes for your business, it is generally a better idea to consider premium WordPress themes. Premium themes, like Mai Theme, offer more advanced features, customization options, and dedicated support, which can greatly benefit your artist website and provide a more professional appearance. Investing in a premium theme can enhance your branding, user experience, and overall online presence.

Do you have examples of artist websites I can look at?

Yes! We love to show off what other artists, creatives, and business owners have created using Mai Theme. The beauty of Mai Theme is that it is flexible enough to be applied to any niche, while still offering extensive features and customization options that put you in control. Take a look at our customer showcase to see what’s possible and get inspiration for your own project.

Do you have user guides and documentation? What about CTA and page templates?

Yes, we have everything beginners need to get started. As soon as you check out you will have access to a full onboarding sequence with tutorials, videos, documentation, and even a couple of ebooks to help you every step of the way. And if you purchase the Mai Them Pro Bundle or Lifetime Bundle, you get access to our entire Pattern Library. That’s 42+ prebuilt block patterns, including landing pages, contact forms, CTAs, homepages, and more!
