Here are some of the frequently asked questions we get about our artist website design services.
How long does it take to build my customized artist website?
That all depends on you and what type of artist web design solution we decide to move forward with. Most artist websites typically take three to five weeks, based on content collection. The larger and more involved the project, the longer it typically takes. Call us for more info.
What is content and what kind of content should I put on my artist website?
Content is all the pictures and information that you want to go up on your artist website. Some clients choose to write all of the text on their pages and come up with the images as well. Others ask for assistance from our team to them with content ideas. Generally speaking, content is the text describing who you are, what the site is all about, and so on. It also includes all and any pictures throughout the site. While our team can use stock-photography, using pictures of your artwork will always be best, especially since most artist websites are designed to showcase your work! Nothing is more important than good quality original pictures to depict your art.
If I do not think I like the way my artist website comes out can I have it revised?
DreamCo Design has an extensive content and revisions process to ensure that your site comes out as close to as originally thought out. Once your artist website has been built we test and review it to ensure it has everything originally discussed. Then we allow you to review it in full and if there is anything that needs minor adjustment, we will be here to support you. All of our clients are entitled to revisions to get their artist website perfect.
What is it going to cost me to get my artist website design solution up and running?
Again that all depends on what your website ultimately ends up being like. We can work within a budget and still give you a fantastic website. Some people in the fine arts industry go with a simple website to just give themselves online presence, while others want a fully functional website with a lot of bells and whistles. Our Artist website design solutions can range anywhere from the mid hundreds to the upper thousands depending on what you want to do with it. Pricing always comes down to how involved the project is. Artist websites involving communities, online stores, and high end gallery showcasing tend to be a bit more of an investment than an informational site.
Can I update my own photos on my new website?
DreamCo Design is all about the solution. If you need to have the ability to update photos on the fly, without website design experience, we can certainly set the site up to allow you to do so if that was a requirement. Most of our customers have some type of CMS (content management system) abilities so that ongoing management is simple.
How do I post photos or change information on my artist website?
As stated in the previous question, we can set you up on a platform that will easily allow you to change anything you want to on your artist website, when it comes to the photos and information. You can access the administration area by simply typing in a username and password. There is basically zero learning curve since the system is so easy. If you ever have an issue we are always here for unlimited support. Keep in mind that our customers also take advantage of our free monthly updates which is part of our hosting.
Who do I call if there is a problem with my artist website?
You call us. We handle all customer service issues out of our office. The person you will speak to for any service issues is the same team that helped you get the site together. This allows you to experience only the very best customer service and build a great relationship.
How many pages can I have on my website?
You can have as many pages as you need. Typically, most artist websites have roughly 5 to 7 main pages, give or take a few. It is simply a matter of correctly portraying what you want to be displayed on your artist website. Remember, everything we do is custom. Our professional artist website solutions are not cookie-cutter nor do-it-yourself solutions.
Does DreamCo Design have hosting options for my new website?
Yes, we offer several different hosting packages to ensure your artist website will be taken care of properly.
Do I have to buy a domain name from you or can I have one from another website company?
If you already own the domain name great! If you don't own it yet, we can register it for you and find out what is and is not available. There are plenty of domain name registrars out there so it is quite typical for someone to have already purchased their name.
If I get my domain name from you do I own it?
All of our clients own their website and everything that comes with it, including their domain name.
What geographical areas do you develop artist web design solutions for?
We service the entire country and some other places outside the US. The beauty of the internet is that as long as you have an internet connection we can help you. Artist from all over have had successful artist web design solutions through DreamCo Design.
Will my website be supported by all the major browsers?

Those browsers include Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Chrome, and Opera. Since the vast majority of what we develop ends up being responsive, we typically test the site on some of the most up to date smart phones and tablet devices as well.
Will you submit my artist website to the major search engines?
Yes we will. DreamCo Design does free basic search engine optimization for all of our clients. This includes manually submitting you to Google, Yahoo, Bing, managing title and description tags, creating the site-map, and more.
Does DreamCo Design help artists with their marketing?

Facebook, Pinterest, and other networking sites help promote work quite well. In the end, it totally depends on what type of website it is and what the goals are. Our consulting team can help.
What will my website look like?
