Agency: $29.50\/month (part of a 50% special)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Choose a Website Builder for Artists<\/h2>\n
Let\u2019s take a closer look at the features we considered when evaluating each website builder.<\/p>\n
Ease of Use<\/h3>\n
Ease of use ensures that putting the website together is a streamlined and cohesive process for people of all skill levels. Website builders with too many options are overwhelming for newcomers, while those with too few options limit the creative spirit of more experienced users or those involved in the arts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Templates and Design<\/h3>\n
For artists, design freedom and flexible, creative options are critical for making a website that reflects your style and showcases your work. Website builders with limited options or rigid layouts stifle creativity and make it difficult to showcase your unique style.<\/p>\n
Apps and Plugins<\/h3>\n
Plugins and apps expand the ways you share and display content on your website, but they can be tough to navigate and clutter up your pages. Finding a balance between the native features of your website builder and additional apps and plugins will help you make your dream portfolio come to life.<\/p>\n
Domain Name<\/h3>\n
Domain names help your website stand out from others and help with branding. Some website builders allow you to import your domain name while others require you to buy one through them. Either way, you will likely have to pay to renew that domain every year, so make sure it is a name you like.<\/p>\n
Marketing Tools<\/h3>\n
Marketing tools, like the integration of other sites and social media feed, are extremely helpful in spreading your work to more viewers and generating sales to new customers. Website builders that possess these tools are useful for delivering your art to fresh eyes and potential buyers.<\/p>\n
SEO<\/h3>\n
Search engine optimization or SEO helps your website stand out from competitors on Google and other search engines. Website builders that include SEO tools typically help you with keywords, URLs, meta descriptions, and more.<\/p>\n
Value for Money<\/h3>\n
Subscriptions vary significantly in price across website builders, and some sites that charge extra for themes and additional features can increase the monthly cost of having a website for your art.<\/p>\n
Help and Support<\/h3>\n
Designing a website requires time and effort, and creating one on a website builder with limited support only prolongs the process. Website builders with live chats or reliable customer service alleviate the stress of website building and can help you get your website online faster.<\/p>\n
