Hundreds of Design Options, Millions of Color Variations
Lambertville, NJ, May 16, 2011 Artspan (www.artspan.com) today announced the launch of the next generation of artist websites. The new, templated websites are designed to give artists maximum control over the look of their websites and the way their artwork is presented. The site designs offer 14 fonts, 320 layout options and millions of color variations to choose from. And the websites are easy to manage - the intuitive site tools feature a revolutionary preview window allowing artists to view changes as they are being made.
Our goal was to develop the leading product in the space. said Eric Sparre, Founder & CEO of Artspan. We provide our members with the best platform possible to market their work. They not, not a developer, quickly and easily design their sites to best present their work.
Artspan sites also possess ecommerce capabilities such as the prints-on-demand feature as well blogs that are integrated into the sites and a myriad of other features. In addition, Artspan members benefit from the dual nature of the Artspan offering which gives them their own individual web sites and domain names, and inclusion in Artspans main site, which directs a high volume of visitors to individual artists through its in-depth search functionality and directories.
An elegant, full-featured and self manageable website is the single most important tool for todays artists to showcase their work, connect with collectors and galleries and grow their careers, says Sparre.
This announcement continues Artspans 2011 year of growth, which has seen a continuous flow of upgrades and new developments, cementing Artspans place as the leading provider of premium artist websites.
