Question 1

What are artist website templates?

Accepted Answer

Artist website templates are starting layouts for visual artists and small galleries: a page for your work, a list of exhibitions or shows and a way for buyers or curators to get in touch are already built in. Replace the sample images and text with your own and publish.

Question 2

Will my artwork images look sharp and full-size on the website?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload full-resolution images and the template displays them at a size that does the work justice, with a closer view available on click. You control the order and the crop, so a series reads the way you intended.

Question 3

Can I sell original pieces or prints directly from the website?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add a shop section to the template and take payment with Base44 Payments powered by Wix, built in on the Builder plan and up, with availability that depends on your country. Stripe works as the alternative: going live needs your own Stripe account, and the products themselves are managed from the Stripe dashboard. The Stripe integration guide walks through connecting it.

Question 4

How do buyers or curators get in touch about a piece?

Accepted Answer

Add an enquiry form next to each work or exhibition, and messages can route wherever you want – your inbox or a separate list for commission requests – through Workflows. You choose what happens after someone submits it.

Question 5

Can a small gallery list more than one artist on the same website?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A gallery website template can hold multiple artists' work under one website: separate pages or sections per artist, with one shared exhibitions calendar and one enquiry system for the whole space.

Question 6

Can I stop visitors from downloading or right-clicking my images?

Accepted Answer

Not completely. No website can fully stop someone determined to copy an image, and Base44 will not claim otherwise. What you can do is keep your working files and large exports off the public website, publish web-sized images and rely on watermarking if that matters to you.

Question 7

How do I choose the right artist website template for my business?

Accepted Answer

The best artist website template is the one that puts the work first: large, uncluttered images with just enough context and a clear way for a buyer or curator to act on what they are seeing.

• Image-first layout – large visuals with minimal competing text or decoration.
• Exhibition history – past and upcoming shows in one place, which curators and press look for.
• A working enquiry path – a form or contact route on every piece, not just a general contact page.
• Room for more than one artist – useful if a small gallery, not a single practice, is running the website.

Base44's artist website templates are built around showing the work first, and exhibitions, enquiries and prices are all edited by describing the change. If you want a broader portfolio alongside the gallery pages, create a portfolio website or browse the wider portfolio website templates collection.
