Web design for art galleries

Selling art carries an obligation buyers rarely hear about: on qualifying resales the artist is entitled to a royalty.

The customer checks online before setting off: whether you stock what they want, what time you open, and whether they can park. A site that hides those three answers sends them to the next shop on the street.

What beats online retail is not price but everything a warehouse cannot do: take it home today, try it on, get advice, bring it back over the counter. That belongs on the website, not only in the shop.

Nobody expects the whole shop online, but they do expect to know whether a size is in. Letting someone ask about one item, or hold it until six, turns a browse into a visit that ends at the till.

Name the brands you stock. People search by brand long before they search by shop, and a page that lists what you actually carry picks up those searches while a page about your history picks up nothing.

In your sector, first impressions are online. Anyone looking for an art gallery compares websites, photos and reviews before deciding. We design your page to stand out from the first second, so collectors browse works and enquire.

What matters about your website isn't that it's pretty, but that it works: that's why we integrate online catalogue and enquiries, artists and works and exhibitions and sales, so every visit has something clear to do and ends up a customer.

No recycled templates: we start from your brand, your colours and your photos to create a unique website for your art gallery, responsive and lightning-fast. And we leave it ready for you to edit without any technical know-how.

Your website will appear on Google when people search for an art gallery in your area, because we design it optimised for local rankings from the ground up. A website that gets found and converts: that's the plan.

In brief: web design for art galleries

  • You change texts, prices and photos yourself from a simple panel, with no technical know-how.
  • Your own photographs beat any stock library; where they are missing we say so rather than paper over it.
  • If something goes down, yesterday's backup takes over: phone number and address are reachable again in minutes.
  • Not a brochure but a tool: it takes enquiries while you are working.

⚙️ Not just a website, a tool

You own it and you run it. Texts, prices and photos change from a panel, without depending on anyone and without waiting.

How we work with art galleries, step by step

  1. 1

    We look at your business

    We look at what customers keep asking on the phone — that belongs on the first screen.

  2. 2

    Structure and content

    We write in your words rather than advertising words, and cut anything nobody reads.

  3. 3

    Design and build

    We set type, contrast and sizes so the site still reads in bright sun and at sixty.

  4. 4

    Launch and Google

    We look at the numbers after four weeks and fix the places where visitors drop out.

  5. 5

    Handed over working

    The domain and the hosting stay in your name — you can take the site elsewhere whenever you want.

Frequently asked questions about web design for art galleries

Is there a royalty on resale? +

Qualifying resales of works by living artists and recent estates attract a royalty collected centrally. Galleries that ignore it accumulate a liability.

How does consignment work? +

Commission rate, length of the arrangement, insurance while held and return of unsold work. Artists choose the gallery that puts this in writing.

What do I receive with the piece? +

Certificate of authenticity, edition number where applicable and an invoice describing the work. Buyers need it for insurance and any future sale.

How is it delivered? +

Packing, specialist courier and insurance while in transit, with costs. A damaged painting in the post ends a gallery's reputation.

Do we need to list the whole catalogue? +

Start with what people ask for by name and what you always have in. A catalogue you cannot keep current does more harm than none.

How do we keep opening hours right? +

They live in one place and feed both the site and the Google profile. Bank holidays are the ones that get forgotten, so we set them a year ahead.

How does click and collect work on the site? +

Reserve online, pay in the shop, ready in an hour. It is the cheapest way to compete with next-day delivery.

Does the site have to be accessible? +

Treat it as yes. Contrast, keyboard navigation and alternative text are expected of anyone selling to the public, they cost nothing when built in from the start, and retrofitting them later costs a great deal.

How long does it take? +

A website for your art gallery is usually ready in 1 to 3 weeks once we have the content. We give you a fixed timeline up front.

Will it appear on Google? +

Yes. We design every website optimised for local SEO from the ground up, so your art gallery appears when people search for you in your city. We can also run an ongoing rankings plan.

Do you work with customers abroad? +

Yes. We handle the whole project remotely, fast and conveniently, with art galleries across the English-speaking world.
