Shopify Websites for Artists

Why a website matters

For many artists (like me and you), a website isn’t just a technical thing — it’s emotional.

It’s the place people land when they want to take your work seriously. A gallery director, a collector, a curator, or someone who simply felt something when they saw your work. What they find there quietly shapes how your work is perceived, long before a conversation ever begins.

Relying only on social platforms can feel convenient, but it also means placing your work inside systems you don’t control. Algorithms change. Accounts disappear. Context is lost. What remains is often a flattened version of something that deserves more space, more slowness, more care.

A working web store does something different. It gives your work a stable home — one that doesn’t ask it to perform or compete. It allows people to encounter it without noise, and to buy from you with clarity and trust.

There’s also the quieter part many artists don’t say out loud: when your website feels unfinished, fragile, or out of sync with your work, it can subtly affect how you price, share, and stand behind what you make. A professional, reliable site doesn’t just support sales — it supports confidence.

Not because it makes your work more valuable.

But because it reflects the value that’s already there.

Built for artists by an artist — designed with care, paced with space.

What this is

This is a complete Shopify website, built slowly and intentionally around your artistic practice.

Not a template flip.

Not a rushed setup.

And not something you have to keep apologising for.

I work with one artist per month, so there’s time for thought, care, and decisions that actually fit your work.

Why work with me

I’m an artist too.

I understand the need to protect your energy, the hesitation around selling work, and the desire to be taken seriously without becoming a social media brand.

I approach website design as building a container — something that holds your work steadily, without demanding more from you.

This isn’t about squeezing your art into a system. It’s about creating a place that respects it.

I work with one artist per month.

This keeps the process spacious and allows me to give each project the attention it deserves.

What is required from you

This work is collaborative. To keep the process calm and grounded, a few things are needed from you.

A clear sense of your artistic direction, even if it’s still evolving
Your written content (artist text, product descriptions, policies)
High-quality images of your work, ready to be used
Willingness to make decisions within the agreed timeline and responsiveness during the build so things don’t stall unnecessarily
Openness to a focused, paced process rather than last-minute changes
A working Shopify account and a registered domain connected to it

You don't need to have everything perfectly figured out — just enough clarity and commitment to meet the work halfway.
