Prices : We Create Custom Online Portfolio Websites for Artists
A word
of advice before we start...we try to keep things
simple around here, but if we have you confused about
anything, contact us
We're quite friendly, so don't be afraid to ask, we won't bite!
A word about style...our site is currently styled in a modern minimal fashion, clean, with plenty of white space. It suits our needs. But you will need something that suits your needs. We can do grunge, textural, paper, minimal, white, black, grey, rich, dark, light, if you can imagine it, we can design and build it for you. Can't imagine it? Then let us handle the ideas part too, we're good at that.
We offer a range of services, packages and bespoke options to help you get your talents online, so here they are:
DOMAIN, EMAIL & HOSTING: £60 per year
In addition to designing and building your site, we also offer the following:
Your own .com URL [we'll even help you choose a suitable name if you like]
Up to 10 personalised email addresses
Search engine submission to 20+ search engines
One year's hosting with us
If you currently have a site hosted elsewhere, we will charge an administrative fee of £20 to transfer your site over. We will handle the transfer, and ensure as smooth a changeover as possible.
STANDARD PORTFOLIO PACKAGE: £399
Our number one selling artist package. Suitable for anyone who needs an online presence. If this is your first website, it's the best place to start. If you need something bespoke and more advanced, scroll down, or contact us right now, to discuss your requirements.
You're going to want to know what you get for your money, so here it is...
5 page portfolio website:
Splash / Home page
About page [Bio / CV]
Artist Statement page
Gallery page
Contact page
This is a good structure for a basic portfolio site, designed so that you can easily upgrade later to add additional galleries, or an online store where you can sell your work direct through the website. You might want something different, special, unique to your work and style. If you want your five pages to be different, then that's no problem, just let us know what you want, and we'll create a variation on this. We can do that. We may charge an additional for certain variations, such as changing a primarily text based page for a gallery of images, as it will incur extra time on our part. We will discuss this with you at the outset. For example, how about a downloadable PDF catalogue of your work for gallery directors? We can link a download to a PDF with you CV, statement and biography too. We would charge extra for setting up these documents, dependent upon how many pages, and what image processing you required, plus text formatting.
This price includes basic processing [resizing, cropping, the basic stuff] of images for your gallery and other pages. If your images require additional processing [contrast, brightness, colour adjustments, that kind of thing], we can offer that as an additional service [see below]. If you need some of our extra special image alchemy [the really fancy stuff, we're Photoshop wizards too you know!], then that's going to cost a bit more, but we're worth it. If you want to sell your work through your site, then you won't necessarily need our full ecommerce site, but rather, we can add PayPal functionality to your gallery for a small additional upgrade fee. Check out our folio and you'll see just what we can do.
