I like Christopher Wool’s website & Gerhard Richter’s website because they show every work that they have done.

[janetatuniquerawfoods]

… and I appreciate your work to make the list of artist sites… to study a bit…very helpful…

[nicolasb.henry]

Another very good and informative video. Finally the best options if you sell your art on your website it is better to sell you main art and if you want to sell some merchandising it is better to do it via another website different from the main one unless you should harm your carreer. This resonates to me.

I'm delighted I found you: your videos re xlear, concise, informative, useful and engaging. Thank you

[cozmin]

I have my website submission and presentation tomorrow! Thanks for the video

[AliceShapiroStudio]

Excellent content as usual! Good timing to update my website.

Really appreciate your excellent content! If your work is surrealistic, do you think it's a good idea to include a Blog section with posts about certain works that describe and explain the symbolism and inspirations for the work or is it better to just let it be completely mysterious? Thank you if you have time to respond!

As an artist, I also love websites when you may see all artist’s works, not only current projects or best pieces. Just to find out more about subjects, techniques… a gallery however may prefer a different approach, but a web site is not only for to be used by industry professionals, isn’t it?…

Hi, I really appreciate all the free and useful information for us. I have one question
If a traditional artist is also working on NFT, should they show all their work in one category or separate groupings?

[lindabedwall]

I have an important question. As an artist, should I mention what my day work is?
I am working as a mashine operator, I even managed to do art with the mashines we have here- is that a good thing to share?

[janetatuniquerawfoods]

So are you suggesting to have this… metadata…on the same page as the artwork image please?

I currently have a ‘slideshow’ presentation… and think right now there is a place for that info with this square space design…I have to see. Where else would the metadata best show up if it’s not directly with the artwork photo?

Good to see you two again. Brilliant spring to you and the CAI community here. Thank you. Sincerely, Janet

Great advice for people starting out! Any tips for moving-image artists?

Hi Julian, thank you for your the invaluable content, great mix of practical advice and education. I've recently heard a lot of content from Magnus Resch author of 'How to Collect Art' praising the merits of a transparent artwork pricing on instagram and artist websites for emerging unrepresented artists. It would be great to hear your response and defense against his critiques of traditional models of art sales etiquette. Thanks so much. -Kristone Capistrano from Sydney/Manila
