Design Studio Declares War On Ugly Artist Websites
“Beautiful Websites For Artists” was launched this week with a mission to create high-quality cost-effective custom websites specifically geared to the needs of visual artists. The firm, based in Santa Monica, NY and Minneapolis, MN is a boutique design studio with specific expertise in art, design, and art-marketing.
“As an artist myself, I am very upset by the uniformly poor quality of art on the internet”, said Josse Ford, Creative Director at BWA. “ Artists invest huge amounts of time and energy in their work and they need to take much more care in how they display it. This is particularly true now because more and more galleries and collectors are looking to the worldwide web in selecting and reviewing art purchases. Our aim at Beautiful Websites For Artists is to showcase each artist’s work as if it was in a museum or high-end commercial gallery.”

"After spending time chatting with the delightful Josse Ford, owner of this fast growing company, it was clear to me that she is someone that artists should meet. Her friendly, unpretentious tone and caring manner makes it easy to talk about your needs and goals for your site. No pushy sales pitch, and it's evident that the designer knows her stuff. It was nice to speak to a real voice, instead of an automatic point and click service, and a thousand times better than my web in a box experience.
