What a brilliant concept... 3 friends I can think of who want art sold!

My mom's setting up a website for her boyfriend and this is JUST what he needs.

Artsy people - or people in general - buy from emotion not head... so on the intro page help people to find what they are wanting and connect to their values...

Share a bit about why original art is great...

Rather sharing too much about YOU on the front page talk about "me" the buyer - and the artist... as soon as people feel a conneciton and their needs are have been heard they''ll come back and stick around.

Rather than that "enter" page just saying "dot art" - how about having 6/7 pictures of art streaming across the page - or all of the pieces - like a slide show or something. I so love watching slide shows! Then is actually represents what you're talking about!

You need a capture page for a newsletter - like "focus on art" or something...

Idea for newsletter:

an article on a piece of work - what inspired it, how it came about

on an artist - why they started art, why the do it know

Tips - on getting you work exhibited

on a famous artist - a little tid bit about who they are...

Jokes about art or artists.... there must be some around - and if there's something funny in it, it will keep people coming back!

Well done - I think mostly it's clear and crisp!

Love
Natalie
