Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before you begin.

Artist Site Co. is a service, not another do-it-yourself website subscription. These answers explain the fit, the three levels, and what happens after launch.

How is Artist Site Co. different from FASO, Wix, or Squarespace?

Those services primarily provide website software and tools. Artist Site Co. provides professional direction, completed implementation, initial content preparation, launch testing, and ongoing technical stewardship. Collector Growth also adds recurring marketing production.

Who should choose FASO instead?

FASO can be the better choice when the lowest cash cost, built-in newsletters and marketing resources, and self-management matter most. We are a stronger fit when professional implementation and having the work handled matter more than the longest feature list.

Is Artist Site Co. only for established artists?

No. Artist Launch was created for serious emerging artists with a cohesive body of work and a concrete professional reason to establish an independent website.

Does the entry offer include online sales?

Yes. Artist Launch includes secure checkout, card payments, available and sold artwork states, simple shipping and tax setup, and a collector inquiry path.

Is this the least expensive way to have an artist website?

No. DIY platforms cost less in cash because you remain responsible for design, organization, setup, and ongoing content decisions. Artist Site Co. is priced as a managed professional service.

What is included in Artist Launch?

A three-page artist website, up to ten initial artwork entries, one collection, secure checkout and card payments, simple shipping and tax configuration, a collector inquiry path, search and visitor analytics setup, one direction, one revision, and Artist Care.

What is included in Commerce Launch?

Five core pages, up to twenty-five initial artworks, three collections, an expanded selling workflow, email signup, a branded welcome message, automatic emails for new Studio Updates, sales and visitor analytics, two revisions, and Commerce Care.

What is included in Collector Growth?

It includes an expanded Commerce Launch with up to forty artworks, five collections, a three-email welcome sequence, collector segmentation, and a campaign plan. Monthly work includes artwork updates, one article, two emails, one page refresh, analysis, and a quarterly campaign.

Does Commerce Launch include the newsletter now?

Yes. Newsletter setup is part of Commerce Launch and Collector Growth. It is not an extra launch charge at those levels.

Is the website custom or a template?

It is professionally configured from a curated, repeatable system built for visual artists. We do not design from a blank canvas, but the artwork, typography, color, photography, logo, story, and selected direction make the presentation specific to the artist.

Do you write all of my content?

We organize and prepare the included website and marketing content from accurate source material you provide. Extensive original copywriting, research, brand strategy, or large migrations are scoped separately.

What does managed care include?

Reliable hosting, secure connections, fast image delivery, daily backups, security and uptime monitoring, software updates, checkout monitoring, and technical support. Commerce Care also monitors email signup and automatic article delivery.

What is the difference between care and Growth Partnership?

Care protects the technical foundation. Growth Partnership adds defined completed work every month: artwork updates, an article, emails, page work, analysis, and quarterly campaigns.

What technology is behind the website?

We use WordPress and WooCommerce because they support content ownership, secure sales, and future flexibility. You do not need to learn or manage those systems to work with us.

What is not included in Collector Growth?

Paid media spend, daily social posting, original photography or video production, and press representation are separate. They can be scoped around a defined campaign.

Can I move to a different provider later?

Yes. Offboarding details are documented in the service agreement. The goal is portable content and a clear handoff process.

Do you guarantee sales or search rankings?

No. A professional website and consistent marketing can improve readiness, collector confidence, and discoverability, but outcomes depend on the work, audience, pricing, reputation, and factors outside the service.

Are you affiliated with an art school?

No affiliation is implied. Artist Site Co. is an independent website and marketing service for visual artists.

Still deciding what fits?

Tell us about the work and the opportunity in front of you. We will recommend the smallest sensible option, even when that is a different platform.
