The website builder made for illustrators.

A good illustrator website opens with your best pieces, groups work by project or client type, and makes it obvious how to hire you. With we.inc you describe your style and the AI builds a portfolio site around your images, or you can publish a free template. AI building and editing start on the $20 Starter plan.

Example website for illustrators built with We.Inc: the Owen Marsh Illustration home page
Owen Marsh Illustration: an example site for illustrators, made with We.Inc.

An illustrator website puts your strongest work in front of art directors in the first scroll. Describe your style and the AI builds a portfolio, about page, and commission form.

Pages every illustrator website needs

Try this prompt

A portfolio website for a freelance illustrator in Portland, Oregon named Juniper Vale, with featured work up front, galleries for editorial, children's books, and packaging, two project case studies with sketches, an about page with a client list, a commissions page, and an inquiry form. Minimal white layout so the colors in the art pop.

A real illustrator site, not a template

This is Owen Marsh Illustration, an illustrator business we described to the AI in a sentence. See the Owen Marsh Illustration example site.

What makes an illustrator website work

Upload images large but compressed

Export pieces at a sensible web size (around 2000px on the long edge) so they look sharp without slowing the page. Heavy files make mobile visitors leave before the gallery loads.

Curate harder than feels comfortable

Only show the kind of work you want more of. A tight portfolio in one direction gets more relevant inquiries than everything you have ever drawn.

Explain licensing in plain words

Many clients do not know the difference between buying usage rights and owning the artwork. A short explainer on your commissions page saves back-and-forth.

Selling prints: checkout yes, fulfillment no

The AI can build a print shop with checkout through your own Stripe account, and a commission deposit page the same way. It does not print or ship, so if you want print-on-demand, link a service such as INPRNT or Printful for those items.

What it costs

A portfolio can go online free as a template on a we.inc address. Once you want the AI arranging galleries, writing project pages, and a custom domain (about $10 to $20 a year for the name), plan on the $20 Starter plan.

Free for 3 template sites, without AI; AI building from $20 a month. Compare plans

Frequently asked questions

How many pieces should an illustrator website show?

Enough to show range within your focus, often 15 to 30 across categories, with your best dozen on the homepage. Quality beats quantity.

Can I sell prints from my illustrator website?

Yes. The AI can build product pages that take payment through your own Stripe account. Printing and shipping are up to you or a print-on-demand service you link.

Will the AI change my artwork?

No. The AI arranges your uploaded images and writes the text around them; your art stays exactly as you upload it.

Can I password-protect client work?

We.inc does not offer password-protected client galleries. Share unreleased work through a private link from a file-sharing tool until it is public.

Do I need to pay to have a portfolio online?

No. Up to three template sites on a we.inc address are free. AI help and your own domain come with paid plans from $20 a month.
