We Develop your Website
- A payment of 50% of your website total cost secures your order. When we receive your order and payment we will schedule you into our project list. Typically, it takes about 3-4 weeks to have your site ready from the time we receive all your images and text.
- The first step we take is to email you a questionnaire that will help us to understand the style of site you are looking for.
- The next step is for you to return the completed questionnaire to us, together with all your image and text files. The best methods are FTP file upload or CD by mail.
- Please note the following important information regarding images:
We cannot commence work on your website until we have received all your image and text files.
It is very important that you send us high quality digital images of your work that have been produced using professional photographic techniques. Our aim is to showcase your work like a high-end art gallery and this is simply not possible if we don’t have high-quality images to work with. As the old saying goes: excellence in, excellence out!
- Based on the aesthetic of your work and the content of your artist statement, we will propose a design style and color scheme for you to consider and approve
- Upon your approval the design, we commence work on your website development.
- Also, at this time, we will register your unique domain name as requested by you. Alternatively, if you have an existing domain name that you would like to use which is currently hosted elsewhere, we will initiate the transfer from your current web-host to Beautiful Websites For Artists.
- We will complete the design of your site, and, upon receipt of any final payments due from you, we will upload it to your domain name. You can now start the work of getting the word out about your site to arts professionals and collectors!
