How much does it cost to set up a website?

How much does an artist’s website cost? Well artist websites tend to larger than average as they usually contain galleries of many images and the option to click on an image to enlarge it. For this reason, bespoke websites for artists can be very expensive – you may get quotes of £700 and over. We aim to produce websites well below this figure.

The prices below are intended to give you an idea of our costs. But each project is different. We will give you a more accurate quote after we have discussed your needs.

Bespoke website costs

Because of the way we work, artist sites designed by Studio Websites are more affordable than most - an average invoice for a bespoke, 30 page site is between £300 and £500 pages depending on the number of galleries needed and the optional extras required.

Websites based on a template

If you require a large, impressive looking website, but want to keep costs down, a template type website may be the answer. We can show you a range of artist website templates and you can choose the design that you prefer. We will then give you a quote for adapting the template to meet your needs. Typically, the price for a template site is in the range of £200 and £400 depending on the template you choose, the number of pages you need and the amount of adaptation required.

Starter websites for artists – low cost entry level websites

We know that not all artists need a large, tailor made website; all that is required is a simple showcase. Therefore we offer a budget website package consisting of a biography page, a contact page and a gallery consisting of up to 8 examples of work. The cost of this service is £99 (including a domain name and hosting for one year). All you need to do is email us your images, contact details and text for your biography page, and we will do the rest.

Websites for art groups

Art group websites can be very large, featuring a gallery page for each artist in the group. We specialise in websites for art groups and have fixed price structure for these types of sites. Each project is different, but to give you some idea, the price for a ten person art group website, including three ‘communal’ pages and a show case page for each artist is in the region of £500 (or put another way £50 per person).
