Marketing Help for Artists & Organizations Are you struggling with how to sell more art or don’t know where to start? Are you overwhelmed by the variety of marketing tools available but can’t figure out which you should use or what works best? A few of the things I do:
- Website design, conversion to WordPress or updates to your current website A well-designed website is vital to marketing your art. I highly recommend WordPress for your website so that you can make simple changes without having to hire a web designer. Whether you need just a few tweaks to your current site or a whole new website, I can help. And I can teach you to make simple changes or updates your website so you don’t have to pay someone to do that each time you want to add new art or list events. Examples of sites I have designed are below.

Beth has great design instincts and an excellent knowledge of marketing. In creating our websites she listened to our ideas and built upon them with her own suggestions and expertise. She is so easy to work with – superbly organized and clear in her approach – and she is wonderful when it comes to walking clients through unfamiliar territory. We are delighted that our new websites really reflect who we are as artists, and the particular nature of our work. The response from viewers has been impressive.
Beth designed my website and helped me change it from an old style, code based site into one that my husband and I have the freedom to easily change and modify ourselves. She trained us to do that. Beth is wonderful to work with and sticks with everything until it’s completed to everyone’s satisfaction, hers included. She is a true professional and a good friend. Thank you, Beth!
