Why you as an Artist need a Website

Get more commissions and present an amazing portfolio with a website

As an artist, it can be very hard to show your previous work in a single unified place. Your art might be shared across different social media platforms such as Instagram and Bluesky and payment platforms such as Ko-Fi where you might take commissions. This is where a website comes in. Unlike social media profiles or payment platforms, a website allows you to have full control over how it looks, meaning that your artistic talents are shown to potential patrons as soon as they click. With the magic of the modern web, you can have a website that truly screams you!

Linktree vs. Website

One common question we get asked is “I already have a linktree. Do I need a website?” You absolutely do, and here’s why. A Linktree or something similar does only one thing: It presents a list of links. With a website on the other hand, you can:

  • Present links to your social media and commissions pages
  • Show your portfolio with a gallery
  • Write a full bio
  • Write blog posts, showing the process of creating your art
  • Embed videos from YouTube, Vimeo or PeerTube
  • Style it however you want
  • Measure effectiveness of different calls for commissions with analytics
  • Get more exposure through SEO
  • Use affiliate links (for example for brushes you use) to get some extra cash on the side
