Client Overview

Sharon James is a Dorset-based artist creating distinctive works inspired by her surroundings and creative vision. Her portfolio includes original paintings, prints, and art products, all available for purchase online.

This independent artist website design project needed to present Sharon’s work beautifully while making it easy for visitors to browse and buy online. The goal was to combine aesthetic appeal with speed, usability, and strong SEO for both local and art-related searches.

About This Independent Artist Website Design Project

We designed and built Sharon’s site from the ground up, creating a bespoke artist website design that incorporated her existing branding and reflected her personal style.

The website is highly visual, with varied gallery layouts for aesthetic interest, professional art photography, and e-commerce integration for direct sales. Its structure and content were also optimised to target searches for Dorset artist website design and related terms.

Project Goals for Sharon James Artist's Website

  • Create an image-led, brand-aligned independent artist website design
  • Integrate an e-commerce store for online art sales
  • Optimise for both art-specific and Dorset artist website design keywords
  • Ensure fast loading for an image-heavy layout
  • Support ongoing updates as Sharon produces new work

Our Apporach to Independent Artist Website Design

We prioritised clean, minimalist layouts that let Sharon’s art take centre stage. Multiple gallery formats were used to keep the site visually engaging while maintaining a smooth, intuitive user experience.

SEO optimisation was applied to product pages, gallery titles, and images so the site could rank for independent artist website design and artist website design searches, both locally and nationally.

Challenges & Solutions With Independent Artist Website Design

One of the main challenges in this independent artist website design was the sheer volume of work Sharon produces. With a huge back catalogue and a steady stream of new pieces, the website and online store need constant updates to showcase her latest creations.

We solved this by having Sharon retain our advanced maintenance services, allowing us to create, test, and deliver frequent site updates. This ensures the galleries, product listings, and e-commerce functions stay fresh, functional, and fully optimised – keeping this Dorset artist website design relevant and engaging for repeat visitors and new customers alike.

Results of the Website Redesign

The site now serves as a professional, sales-ready platform for Sharon’s art, boosting visibility in local search results and increasing direct online sales. The independent artist website design approach has given her a flexible platform that grows with her portfolio.

Thank you, Tom, the website is really good, I mean really… I did a lot of research on successful artists’ websites, and your design outdoes them all. Thank you again for your continued support. I know I probably make more updates than all of your other clients combined!
