Mobile-First Design
Your art speaks for itself. Your website just needs to get out of the way and let people see it. I build simple, clean portfolio sites for artists that put your work front and center. No clutter, no distractions. Just your images, your bio, your exhibition schedule, and a way to get in touch.
Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or any other kind of visual artist, a dedicated portfolio site gives you a permanent online home that you control. Social media algorithms change; your website doesn't.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a website if I already have an Instagram?
Instagram is great for discovery, but it's not yours. Algorithms change, accounts get restricted, and platforms come and go. A website is your permanent online home that you control. Galleries, collectors, and press contacts expect a real portfolio site, not a social media profile, when they want to evaluate your work seriously.
How much does an artist portfolio website cost in Rhode Island?
Artist portfolio sites from Business Buddy start at $1,000 for design, build, and launch. After that, there's a monthly hosting and security fee starting at $39/month, which covers keeping your site live, secure, and maintained. If you ever want to take over hosting yourself, you can cancel at any time and I'll help you make the move.
Can I sell my work through the website?
Yes. I can set up a simple shop or connect to a platform you already use, like Etsy or Square. If you want to sell prints, originals, or commissions directly, we can build that into the site from the start.
How do I update the portfolio with new work?
Just reach out and I'll handle it for you. The standard portfolio site doesn't include a self-service content management system, so updates go through me, which is typically a quick turnaround. If you anticipate frequent changes and want to manage them yourself, let me know and we can discuss a build that includes a CMS.
How long does it take to build an artist portfolio site?
Most portfolio sites are ready in about a week once I have your images, bio, and content. If you're preparing for a show or exhibition and need it faster, let me know. I can usually make it work.
What if I work in multiple mediums or have different series?
That's easy to handle. I can organize your portfolio by series, medium, or however makes the most sense for your work. Visitors should be able to browse in a way that matches how you think about your art.
