Web Design Service

The internet is becoming increasingly important as a marketing tool for artists and galleries. More and more art will be sold online, and artists' websites will eventually become the primary vehicles for showing work and presenting credentials (assuming this hasn't happened already). Artists looking for an internet showcase without opting for a full dedicated website can apply to have their own pages within this site as an associate artist. Therefore, your web address would be:

www.west-eleven.com/yourgallery.

This service also allows for your site to be updated as and when new work is produced and sold, or when exhibitions are scheduled. This is also the most cost-effective means of internet showcasing and is particularly suitable for those who do not require a large number of pages for their site and who do not wish to undertake their own updates.

Access to your site will be by typing the full address as in the example above, which will lead customers directly to your pages and bypass the main West-Eleven site. Associate artists often have their work exhibited through West-Eleven via our own exhibitions and regular Art Fairs. They are also invited to submit work for our seasonal competitions with the opportunity of staging their own exhibition in one of our galleries.

A full update service is also offered for associate artists at very reasonable prices. The opportunity also exists to expand and re-design your site as your work progresses.

For clients seeking a dedicated website, West-Eleven offers uncompromising quality of design and optimisation. We understand exactly what is required of an artist or corporate website and how to make your site stand out from the crowd. We will work with you to achieve exactly the look and feel you wish to achieve, or will use our own designs to provide you with a highly professional site that you will be proud of. A full update service is also provided.

All images are optimised for faster downloads while retaining quality and crispness. Search Engine optimisation and advice regarding rankings is also offered. Pages are produced using the modern and industry accepted CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Animation, including Flash designs can also be incorporated.
