Over the years, artist friends have asked me about creating a website of their own. When potential collectors see a few of their creations, they are often asked if they have a website. They would like to have a way of sharing their portfolio, but usually have two primary concerns: 1) they don't consider themselves as "technically savvy" and 2) they don't want to spend money. I added a third criteria; the images are displayed in a format large enough to appreciate the artwork.
I found a few options that are both FREE and EASY and meet that criteria. I will be doing a quick presentation on the four options below at South County Art Association on Saturday, 1/31/15, 9:00 - 10:30 am. (http://southcountyart.org/class/683)
- Weebly: template-based website tool
- Blogger: text, images and video in a "post" format
- Flickr: image and video
- Fine Art America: image and print website
In addition to the overview, I will also facilitate a hands-on workshop so participants can build one or more of these options. This will be held at South County Art Association on 2/7/15 and 2/14/14. $70 SCAA members/$85 nonmember.(http://southcountyart.org/class/684)
