Clever Add-Ons For Your Artist Website
Small customizations can make a big difference in how your artwork is presented — and how it sells.
These optional add-ons are designed specifically for artists to enhance the way collectors view and engage with your work.
Customization 1: Show the Full Artwork Image (stop auto-crop)
What it does:
Removes Squarespace’s automatic image cropping on your product grid, quick-view, and product pages.
Why it helps:
Collectors need to see your work as it really is.
This fix ensures your paintings aren’t misrepresented and helps buyers understand the real dimensions, composition, and feel of each piece — which builds trust and reduces hesitation to buy.
Customization 2: Add Red Dots to Sold Artwork
What it does:
Automatically adds a small red dot to the bottom corner of your artwork image when a product sells.
Why it helps:
Red dots are more than just decorative — they’re powerful social proof.
Seeing that others are collecting your work builds urgency and excitement, encouraging new buyers to take action.
It’s a subtle but effective cue that your art is in demand.
See the differences above, using Johanna Reynolds’ website:
📸 Before: All images cropped to perfect squares, taking vital information away from your clients. ‘Sold’ signs are subtle text.
📸 After: Full artworks display exactly as they are, maintaining true proportions, red dot added to corner of image container to indicate sales.
Customization 3: Hide Prices on Sold Work
What it does:
Automatically removes prices from products once they’re marked “Sold.”
Why it helps:
At times, a client may find an outdated price on your website, and try to use it to gain a discount. Outdated prices can hurt your business and negatively affect collectors who want privacy.
This automation means you’ll never have to manually remove prices again, and you’ll prevent clients from seeing older prices that may no longer reflect your current market value.
See the differences above with all 3 customizations added (red dot only shows on product thumbnail page)
📸 Before: Sold artworks still display a price, artwork is showing as a square as it has been cropped by Squarespace.
📸 After: Artwork is not cropped, showing the accurate piece, and the price is hidden on each sold piece.
