The easiest way to create a website for your art. Create your site at Weebly.com!

Weebly

If you need a website and don't want to pay someone to do it for you, I highly recommend Weebly. This website was created using Weebly and I have been very happy with the results.

Now, I know some artists feel that they are not computer savvy enough to do their own website, but Weebly makes it easy. And, if you don't mind not using your own domain name, then you can get a site for free! However, I do recommend you at least get the minimum starter package so you can use your own domain name and not have the Weebly logo at the bottom of every page on your site.

Here are some sites that I created for artists:
ScottESutton.com
MaryMcKayArt.com
LindaWarwickSmith.com


If you want me to do the hard work of creating a Weebly website for you, send me an email. Once you are happy with your site, I also include screenshot videos showing you how to make changes yourself.


Animoto.com

Make free video slideshows with this online tool. The free versions are limited to 30 seconds and include the Animoto logo.

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

Prezi.com

This is a really cool online tool for making presentations. It takes a little while to get used to how it works. Once you've got it figured out, you can create some really interesting shows.

Here's a Prezi I created for the children's book author Scott E. Sutton. I really like is the various levels of detail that can be incorporated into a slide show. It's kind of like zooming in with Google Earth. Imagine using this to show details of your artwork. (Click on the arrows to watch the show.)
