An artist website that sells the work, not just shows it

The best artist website is a fast, image-focused gallery with a short bio, a way to inquire about commissions, and links to wherever your work actually sells. We.inc lets you start free with a gallery template, and if you want the AI to write your artist statement and organize the whole site from a description, that starts on Starter at $20 a month.

Upload your pieces and let we.inc's AI build a gallery, an about page, and a way to inquire about commissions or prints. Free to start, AI from $20 a month.

Pages every artist website needs

Try this prompt

A website for a painter named Elena Vasquez based in Santa Fe who makes abstract landscape paintings, with an earthy and minimal tone, a gallery organized by series, an artist statement, a commissions page, and a contact form for inquiries.

What makes a artist website work

Image quality matters more here than almost anywhere

Use the highest-resolution photos of your work you have, shot in even lighting without a phone flash glare. A gallery of great work shown in mediocre photos undersells the art more than a smaller gallery of well-photographed pieces.

Selling stays off-platform

We.inc can't process payments or run a shopping cart natively. Link to Etsy, a print-on-demand service like Printful, or your own Shopify store for actual sales, and use the site itself as the gallery and inquiry point.

Commission pages should set a price range

Even a rough range ('commissions typically start around $400 depending on size and detail') filters out inquiries that were never going to work and gives serious buyers enough to decide whether to ask.

Series and collections aid both browsing and SEO

Grouping work into named series with a short description of each gives search engines actual text to index around your art, since image files alone don't rank well without context.

What it costs

A domain in your name or studio name costs about $10 to $20 a year. If you're just getting a portfolio online, the free plan with a gallery template covers that. Once you want the AI writing your artist statement and restructuring the site as your body of work grows, Starter at $20 a month fits most working artists.

The free plan lets you build up to 3 sites from templates and publish them free on a we.inc address. It has no AI. Building and editing with AI starts on Starter at $20 a month with 250 credits.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an artist website cost to build?

Publishing a gallery from a template is free on we.inc's free plan, up to three sites, no AI. If you want the AI to write your bio and build out the site from a description, Starter starts at $20 a month for 250 credits.

Can I sell my art directly from the website?

We.inc doesn't process payments or run a shopping cart natively. Link your site to an Etsy shop, a print-on-demand store, or a Shopify store to handle sales, and use your we.inc site as the gallery and inquiry hub.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes, custom domains and SSL are included, so something like elenavasquezart.com works right away.

How should I organize a gallery with a lot of work?

Group pieces into series or collections with a short description of each rather than one long scroll of everything. It's easier for visitors to browse and gives you clearer pages for search engines to index.

Can I take commission requests through the site?

Yes, the AI can build an inquiry form asking for size, medium, budget, and timeline, so requests arrive with enough detail to quote instead of starting from scratch over email.
