Nothing Vanilla Flavored Here!
Tired of all those vanilla-flavored Artist Websites and Portfolios you’ve seen that try to do everything but actually do nothing very well?
We made Espresso differently – from the ground up Espresso Artist Websites are built with the best of the best technology and art marketing tools known to man. For you that means more powerful online art marketing, the best representation of your work, and more time in the studio to create more of it!
Core Espresso Features
Stunning Showcasing
Beautiful showcasing that focuses all the attention on you and your work. We inherited our design skills from Beautiful Artist Websites – the leader in premium custom artist website design for more than 5 years
Customized Design
You choose a style and we craft a fully customized banner design based on a piece of your art, your signature, or both that runs consistently through your entire website. The work is done by talented human designers – not some automated online chop-shop!
A Fully-Functioning Artist Website from Day One
We don’t deliver you a template – we deliver fully functional artist websites with all your content and images uploaded (Up to 30 images included). That means that when we hand you your finished site you’re ready to hit the road and get marketing!
Fully Integrated Blogging
Your Espresso Artist Website has a fully integrated blog that looks just like the rest of your site, builds community and recognition for you, and dramatically improves your search engine results. Your website will rock your art marketing!
Social Media Marketing
Visitors to your website can sign up to follow you on Twitter and Facebook and they can recommend and like your your pages with the click of their mouse. Your blog posts will automatically post to Facebook and Twitter. This means more visitors, more relationships, and ultimately more success.
Email Marketing (Option)
Our Email Marketing module takes the mechanical, repetitive, time-consuming effort out of building relationships with visitors so you can focus on creating great promotions. Visitors sign up on your Espresso Artist Website to receive updates and you send personalized emails to your entire email list with 1-click! It gets much better though. Track and see who opened which emails or segment your list based on special interest categories. Automatically send an email blast each and every time you post in your blog. This is powerful 21st century art marketing working to build your art career success!
Sexy Shopping Carts (Option)
Planning to sell prints or originals under $500? In that price range visitors will often buy online – so make it easy for them! We offer a range of shopping cart options to assist you from simple menu-linking to your Etsy or Yessy Gallery/Store through to fully featured shopping carts that integrate with your PayPal or Authorize.net account. We can help you find the solution that best fits your online selling strategy and budget!
Integrated Visitor & Results Tracking
1-click access to powerful Google Analytics website tracking is built directly into the back-end of your website. Find out what’s causing all the fuss on your site and create more of it! Measure and track how your fans are finding you and how much time they’re spending on your pages and blog posts. With your attention, this powerful art marketing analysis can skyrocket your art business success!
Self Maintaining, Unique, Gorgeous
We know that you can’t resist changing your website! It’s important to do to keep your work and events updated and current and it also makes for a much more engaging visitor experience. Espresso Artist Websites lets you add, change, and delete your art and text content – but we don’t compromise the presentation or quality in the process. Not so common – because we’re not common!
Very Search Engine Friendly
You do want visitors from search engines right? Every artist dreams of this but few succeed. Espresso Artist Websites have a very powerful foundation and structure for great search engine rankings. A little keyword research on your part (we have a great SEO guide to help you) together with regular blog posts and connections with your art community will have you off and racing to search engine success!
Beautiful Consistent Navigation
When visitors get lost they leave. This will never happen on an Espresso Artist Website – every page has the same consistent menu structure so that visitors will never have to leave breadcrumbs to find their way around!
Your Own Website
If we ever slide into the Pacific Ocean (we hope not to!) or if our hosting servers spontaneously self destruct (they won’t!) you can take your website and host it elsewhere and you haven’t lost anything. That’s because we use open technology that works on almost all web hosts. You’ll never be stuck with having to rebuild your website presence from scratch. Its your own independent website – not a file space in someone else’s closed software system.
Your Own URL
Just your URL and nothing else. yourartistname.com or yourbusinessname.com or whatever you like. No subdomains like yourartistname.somethingelse.com – never! You can register it yourself or we can register it for you in your name. It’s all yours and no one can ever take it from you!
Daily Website Backups
Rest easy! Every Espresso Artist Website has it’s data backed up every day to a remote geographical location. That means that in the very worst case you can never lose more than the your most recent 24 hours o changes. Now that’s a comforting thought!
Other Espresso Options
Home Page Slideshow (Option)
Add some pizazz to your home page design with a 6-image slideshow. You can change the images in the show at any time by yourself to keep it interesting and engaging.
Downloadable PDF Artist Statement or Bio (Option)
Galleries and collectors love to print information from your website for reference and discussion during their selection processes. But we all know that printing from a website never looks quite right and the colors are often way off. Problem solved! We’ll design a beautiful downloadable Artist Statement or Bio for you that has a visual representation of your work. Because its a PDF you will know exactly how it will look to a client.
Artnet Directory Listing (Option)
Artnet is almost certainly the world’s premier online gallery showcase for serious professional artists. Being seen there is like having your work in a very successful SOHO or Chelsea Gallery and brands you as a real player in the art world. A listing in artnet can cost a fortune but we can offer it to you at a tiny fraction of the regular cost. When an Artnet visitor clicks on your listing they will find themselves looking at your stunning Espresso Artist Website where you can really wow them! This is premiere marketing and premiere showcasing working for your success.
Advanced SEO Module (Option)
Are you serious about blogging as a tool for Search Engine Marketing Success? If so, you will love our Advanced SEO Option that works hand in hand with you as you write your updates and blog posts. Quite literally it can turn your artist website into a giant search engine electro-magnet!
Import Your Existing Blog Database (Option)
Have an existing WordPress, Blogger, or Typepad Blog? We can import your old posts and post categories into your Espresso Artist Website. This is a great way to combine that great blog foundation you’ve built together with your stunning new artist website!
Import Your Existing Email List (Option)
Already marketing your art with an Email Management System? We can import your current list into your new Espresso Email Marketing System so you’re ready to keep those emails working for you day and night. Or – we can integrate your existing system into your Espresso Artist Website. Either way it’s a win-win for serious art marketing!
