Supporting artists is essential for the health, growth, and innovation of our community. If you are an artist looking to take your art to the next level professionally, or make your art your livelihood, join our Artists in Action webinars series, designed to give you the skills you need to turn passion into profit.
Your website is the ultimate self-promotion tool. Bob and Kate Burridge will discuss the importance of having a website, along with how to create one and how to design the “storefront” that is necessary to show your work, tell your story, and make sales.
Topics will include:
- Domain names and your brand
- The beauty of clean, consistent design
- How to organize your images
- Navigation do’s and don’ts
- Webmaster? Or DIY?
