1. Create your account
Head to the sign up page and create your free account. All you need is your name and email address. No credit card, no commitment.
Once you’ve verified your email, your Pro website is live at yourname.artsites.co, with a free 10-day trial, ready to fill with your work.
2. Upload your artwork
Open your site and tap Edit Page to enter the editor. Navigate to your gallery and start uploading your artwork.
For each work, you can add:
- Title: the name of the work
- Medium: oil on canvas, bronze, digital print, etc.
- Dimensions: size of the work
- Year: when it was created
- Description: any additional context or artist notes
You don’t have to fill in every field: a title and an image are enough to get started. You can always come back and add details later.
Tip: Upload your best 5–10 works first. You can add more any time. Quality over quantity makes a stronger first impression.
3. Write your bio
Navigate to your About page in the editor. This is where visitors, collectors, and galleries learn about you.
A good artist bio doesn’t need to be long. Consider including:
- What kind of work you make
- What subjects or ideas interest you
- Your background or training (if relevant)
- Where you’re based
Don’t overthink it: you can revise it any time. A few honest sentences are better than a blank page.
4. Set up your contact info
Visit your Contact page in the editor and add your contact details. At minimum, include an email address so visitors can reach you.
You can also add links to your social media profiles: Instagram, Bluesky, and others are supported.
Privacy note: Your contact form protects your email address. Visitors can reach you without seeing your email directly.
If you don’t upgrade
Your 10-day trial gives you a full Pro website to try. If you don’t upgrade before it ends, nothing is lost: your website is paused, not gone. Every page, every work, and your Design stay saved exactly as you left them.
Your account moves to the free plan, and your portfolio carries on at artsites.co/yourname. It shows one collection and a curated 20 works, chosen by you, and visitors can still reach you there. Nothing is deleted.
Whenever you’re ready, upgrading brings your full website back at the same address, exactly as it was.
You’re live: what’s next?
Your website is online. Here are some things to explore when you’re ready:
- Share your link: Post your yourname.artsites.co address on social media, add it to your email signature, and include it on your business cards.
- Add more artwork: Keep uploading; we don’t limit how much work you can make or keep. Your website shows every work you’ve made.
- Explore starter designs: Try different gallery layouts to see what suits your work best.
- Keep your website: Your trial gives you a website of your own (your own domain, your own Design, a blog, and every work you’ve made, shown on your own website) for 10 days. Upgrade to Pro any time to keep it.
