Web design for illustrators

Illustration is priced by licence, not by drawing: a book cover, a national campaign and an internal handout are three different jobs at the same desk.

Anyone looking for an agency or a studio already has an idea and a budget in mind. They want to know whether you do exactly that, on which stack, and roughly what it costs — before they fill in a form.

A portfolio without context convinces nobody. What lands is the case: the situation, what you changed, what happened next. Three paragraphs per project beat twenty logos in a row.

What clients have been burned by is the handover: who owns the code, what happens the week after launch, who answers when something breaks at six. Answering that on the page wins the projects other studios lose at contract stage.

Say how you charge: fixed price, monthly retainer, day rate. Nobody expects a figure without a brief, but a client who cannot tell how the bill will be shaped keeps looking until somebody explains it.

A social profile is no longer enough: your customer wants to get informed, see prices and decide without waiting for replies. Your own website gives you that control and professionalism, and we design it so clients see your portfolio and request a commission.

No filler features: we prioritise what actually brings you customers in your illustration studio — online enquiries and commissions, styles and portfolio and styles and portfolio — and put it one click away. A straight-to-the-point website converts more than one full of decoration.

A website that loads in a blink, looks perfect on mobile and conveys the professionalism of your illustration studio at first glance. Custom design, clean code and a simple panel so you stay in control.

We optimise your website so your illustration studio appears on Google and Google Maps when customers search nearby. Local SEO is what converts most in your sector: whoever searches wants to book now. And if you want customers from day one, we add Google Ads.

In brief: web design for illustrators

  • Built for Google from the ground up, so people find you rather than merely visit.
  • We write the copy after a conversation about your work — an hour of your time, and it is the part that sells.
  • Domain and hosting are stated upfront; everything else is optional and you decide who handles it.
  • Remote work with illustrators anywhere, over 15 years of experience and a price agreed up front.

  1. 1

    We look at your business

    We go over how illustrators actually work, what you sell and who you compete with locally.

    Structure and content

    We decide which questions the page answers up front: price range, how it works, hours, parking.

  3. 3

    Design and build

    We build for the phone first, because that is where most of your visitors decide.

  4. 4

    Launch and Google

    We put it live, set up your Google Business Profile and check the tracking works.

  5. 5

    Handed over working

    We stay reachable by the same channel your customers use, so a fix takes minutes and not a ticket.

Frequently asked questions about web design for illustrators

How is the fee calculated? +

Creation separated from usage, with duration, territory and media. Explained that way, nobody argues about why the same drawing costs more for a campaign than for a blog post.

How should the portfolio be sorted? +

By application rather than by date — children's books, packaging, editorial, advertising. Commissioners are looking for a style for a specific job, not browsing a career.

What if a commission is cancelled? +

A kill fee tied to the stage reached, agreed in advance. Sketch, approval and final artwork are natural break points, and pricing them protects both sides.

Do you use AI tools? +

A stated position, because publishers and agencies now require a warranty either way. Being prepared for the question reads as professional; being caught out by it does not.

Can we not just build it ourselves? +

You can, and it usually stalls at the content. What we sell here is the finishing and the SEO structure, not the code.

What should the case studies contain? +

A number. Time saved, load reduced, conversion moved — with permission to name the client if you have it.

Does the site stay ours? +

Domain, hosting and code are in your name and exportable whenever you like. We hold nothing hostage.

Can we host it on our own servers? +

Yes, and we hand over the code and the documentation. The question comes up constantly in this sector and we put nothing in the way: people who work with this want to be able to change it without asking.

Will it appear on Google? +

Yes. We design every website optimised for local SEO from the ground up, so your illustration studio 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 illustrators across the English-speaking world.

What if I already have a dated website? +

We redesign it while keeping your rankings: we refresh the look, speed and online enquiries and commissions, taking care of URLs and redirects so you don't lose the SEO you already have.

Will the website be mine? +

Yes, 100%. The domain, hosting and content stay in your name when we finish. And we leave it with a simple panel so you can update photos, prices or services for your illustration studio whenever you want.
