Web design service for artists

Studio Websites offer a range of web design services for artists including:

Bespoke website design (tailor made websites)
Template websites (a more affordable option – existing ‘templates’ are adapted to meet your needs)
Budget websites (low cost ‘starter’ websites for artists)
Websites for art groups (large but affordable websites including showcase pages for each artist)

We can discuss these options with you and give advice which best meets your needs.

How we work with you - the website design process

Normally, communication with you is by telephone and email. Each project is different, but here is an outline of a typical approach for a bespoke website:

1. Discuss your proposed content and any ideas you have for your website.
2. Provide you with an estimate of costs based on your needs.
3. Provide you with some sample layouts. You be able to review these layouts and choose your preferred design.
4. We build the site based on the design you have chosen.

Other web design issues

Domain names
You will need a domain name for your website. For example, the domain name for this website is www.studiowebsitedesign.co.uk. We will help you choose a domain name and register if for you (renewable after 2 years).

Hosting and email accounts
All websites need a computer or ‘server’ to 'host' the website’s files. We use a very reliable host (not all are reliable!). The first year of hosting is free with all our websites. You have to pay a yearly hosting fee in advance from year two onwards.

Maintaining your website
From time to time, you may want to update your website. Minor changes can be made at any time and are free of charge. If you need more substantial changes, we will give you a quote before doing any work on your site.

Getting noticed (Search Engine Optimisation)
Creating a website is only half of the story. Your website needs to be found by the major search engines such as Google and Yahoo. All our websites are designed to be search engine friendly – which means that they can be found easily by the major search engines.
