Artist website examples
An oil painter in a former mining town in Arizona who sells originals to collectors, a muralist in Kansas City who quotes walls by the square foot, and a printmaker in Duluth selling small editions. Each one added a sentence about the look.
Coralie added“Quiet, like a gallery catalog. Linen white, near-black type, one ochre accent and an old-style serif.”
Oil paintings in yearly series, originals and commissions, Bisbee
Rafa added“Loud. Cobalt blue with sunny yellow, a heavy block font, and a round sticker like a skate shop.”
Murals for shops, schools and kids' rooms, priced per square foot, Kansas City
Hana added“Calm and cold like the lake. Pale blue-gray, deep navy, a coral accent and a bookish serif.”

The checklist
A collector who finds you after a show wants to see the body of work, know what is still for sale and at what price, and feel sure the painting will arrive safely.
A visit, or a quick question. Book a studio visit or text about one painting. Collectors often want to ask about a single piece before anything else.
How it works
Step 1
It asks about your series, which pieces are for sale, how commissions and shipping work and when people can visit, then writes the site.
I want a website for my art. Ask me these one at a time: 1. My name as an artist, the town where my studio is, and what I make? (oil, acrylic, watercolor, prints, murals, sculpture) 2. My series or bodies of work: the title, the years, how many pieces, and a sentence on each? 3. What is available now: title, medium, size and price for each piece, which ones are price on request, and which have sold? 4. Commissions: what I take on, the starting price, the deposit, how long the wait is and whether the list is open? 5. Anything smaller: prints and their edition sizes, studies, gift cards, holds or payment plans? 6. My background: years making work, shows, collections, a certificate of authenticity, and a sales tax license if I have one? 7. Studio visits and shipping: open studio days, appointments, how I crate and insure work, and where I deliver? 8. What I don't take on, my return and deposit rules, how people reach me (text, email, a visit link), my newsletter, and two or three collector comments with first name and city? 9. How should it look? (colors, mood, anything to match) Then write the complete page as one HTML file with inline CSS. Put a book-a-visit button and a tappable text button at the top, and make it work well on phones.
Step 2
Pick a link, such as paste.page/coralie-dunmore-paintings, publish it, then print it on your show labels and business cards and put it in your Instagram profile.

BeforeAfterYou, to your AI“Use the evenly lit wall shot in the prints section. Leave out the angled easel photo; I'll reshoot that painting flat in daylight.”
Change anything
A painting sells, a new series starts, the open studio date moves. Tell your AI what changed, paste in the new HTML, and the link on every show label keeps working.
Same link every time. Nothing to reprint.
