Artist Website Templates

Big images of the work, then commissions, prints or classes.

Collectors, galleries and commissioning clients want to see the work large, then find out what is available and how to ask. The three templates below put a painting or artwork in the first screen.

Ochre (shown as painter Iris Vale) is a quiet portfolio with Work, About, Commissions and Contact. Nightwork (shown as Rune Castell) is a dark design for a painter, muralist and printmaker with Series, Murals and Shop. Wet Paper is for an artist who teaches, with a course, pricing and "Enrol".

What a good artist website needs

Work shown large, with details

Title, medium, size, year, and whether it is available or sold.

A commissions page

What you take on, rough price bands, timeline and how usage rights work.

Prints or shop, if you sell

Edition size and price. Link the shop tool you already use.

Exhibitions and a short bio

Past and upcoming shows, and where people can see work in person.

How to pick the right one

Painter selling originals and commissions: Ochre has Work and Commissions.

Three artist layouts: portfolio, series and teaching

Each template below handles a different part of an artist's site: artwork details and availability, commissions, and an archive of shows or series.

How these were picked

Three catalogue templates checked against their previews: Ochre Artist Portfolio, Nightwork Artist Studio and Wet Paper. The artists named in them are made up. No matching sample site exists for this trade, so the walkthrough uses the Ochre template itself. Checked 27 September 2026. Every design here is from the We.Inc library and is labelled as a sample or template. None is a customer site, and no entry claims results.
