sell your Art Online social media for artists website checklist

In this class I am giving you a method, ideas and links to tools you can use to build your online presence including your website.

  • Is your website uncluttered? Is the Art the star of the website or are visitors distracted by the design? Are there too many things going on or is it simple?
  • Are the pictures good quality pictures?
  • Can visitors easily navigate through your galleries?
  • Are there any broken links?
  • Is the design responsive (Can you re-size the window and it will re-size the website) so it can look good on any size of computer screen?
  • Is your website looking good on mobile platforms (cell phones and tablets)?
  • Can people contact you easily?
  • Do you give links to your social media profiles?
  • Can people know easily who you are and what you do?
  • If you have a blog, do you have a link to your blog?
  • Do you have a sign up form for your mailing list on your website? (more about that in the unit about mailing list)

In the later units you will also learn how to add an incentive for people to sign up to your mailing list:

Is there anything you would like to add to this list? What do you think is essential to an artist website?
