I spent more than 20 years (holy cannoli) wearing every hat possible in the website world. And, that means I have a lot of feelings around artists and their websites. So, I've created a free guide to help you get started.
You don't just need a website just like you don't just make art. You make YOUR art. It is unique to you. It is original. Your website should be too.
We'll cover defining your audience, your calls to action, a sitemap, and a list of content, page by page, that you need to create and gather to be included on your website.
You'll also get access to a sample sitemap in Google Docs that you can make a copy of and fill in with your own information.
Here's a quick look at a few of the pages in the free workbook.
The hardest part is defining a website that works for you and your business. Let's dive in and make a plan!
My name's Jen and I've been designing and building websites since 1999.
I've built websites for companies of all sizes, from solopreneurs to international giant companies and nonprofits. A few years ago, I stopped designing/building websites for others and instead teach artists, makers, and creatives of all kinds how to do it for themselves.
I'm passionate about you having a website that thrives, that elevates your business, your art, and your creations. I believe your website is one of the most customizable places in the world (physical world included!) where you can share your work and control the entire narrative. You control every pixel and each one allows you to craft the story of you, your practice, and your work.
I can't wait to see what you Launch!
You are ready.
Your work is ready.
It is time to give it a place to live for the world to see.
I'm here to cheer you on.
I can't wait to see what you Launch!
(That's me pre-celebrating at the Color Factory a few years ago. But in my heart this is what it feels like when artists, creatives, and makers of all kinds put their work out into the world.)
