What if…you don’t know where to start with building your artist website?
I have been helping artists create a professional online presence since 2017. It is tremendously important to me that I can provide an economical and industry accepted option for artists to show off their work. If you need assistance setting up your artist website from scratch, review my custom website options here.
But…my most economical option is starting with my Artist Website Template. I’ve got a new design that can be customized for any artist.
A Squarespace template specific for artists. This listing includes the template to create your own artist website. It doesn’t include Squarespace subscription fees. This template has been refreshed for Spring 2025 with new features and additional pages that can be used to create your perfect custom artist website!
Before you purchase this listing:
I will be sending your template to the email address you provide during checkout
Please note that I have to manually send you the template so there may be a delay of up to 12 hours depending on when you place your order.
This template starts a NEW site for use on Squarespace only. If you have an existing Squarspace site, you can transfer the content and domain over to the template site using my instructions.
After you purchase this listing, 2 things will happen:
You will receive a digital download of the instructions to create the site. This can also be found within the template so don’t worry if you don’t save it.
I will email you access to the template site which you will open using your own Squarespace account.
