The problem

Painters have the hardest job online

A photograph of a painting loses its scale, its texture and its true color. So an artist's site has to work twice as hard as anyone else's — and most of them are not even doing the easy part.

Nobody can buy anything

Prices on the page, no checkout anywhere. The visitor has to email and wait, and most of them simply do not.

The town is never named

Google cannot show an artist to somebody searching "art near me" if the website never says where the studio is. This is the most common miss we find, by far.

The pictures are invisible

Search engines cannot see a painting — they read the description attached to it. On most artist sites, most images have none.

Prints are left on the table

An original sells once. A print sells the same painting for years, and cards sell it every week — but only if there is somewhere to buy them.

What we build

A gallery, a shop and a story — in one place

A real shop. Originals, limited prints and hand-finished cards, with a checkout that pays into your own account. We never hold your money.
Print-on-demand, set up for you. Somebody orders, the printer makes that one copy and posts it. No inventory in your spare room, nothing paid before a sale.
Collections, not one long wall. Sorted the way a buyer thinks — by subject, so they find what they came for instead of scrolling past it.
Your story, told properly. The years before the brushes, the teaching, the whole thing. It is what turns a browser into a buyer, and almost nobody bothers.
Workshops and commissions. Teaching is the highest-margin work an artist does and needs no materials. It gets its own section, with inquiries coming to you.
Local search, done right. Your town on every page, artist information Google can read, and a phone number people can tap.
Watched every single day. Uptime, security, certificates and broken links, on the same automatic check that already watches more than twenty sites.

What it costs

Priced so it pays for itself

The written diagnostic

$197

Everything broken, everything missing, and what to fix first — in order, in plain English. Comes off your first month if you go ahead.

Built & looked after

$50 / month

Site built, hosted, secured and maintained. New work added, sold work marked. A minimum, not a cap.

Plus a share of sales

15%

Only on what the website sells. Nothing on work you sell in person, at a show, or through a gallery. A gallery takes 40–50%.

"We would rather be paid out of what you sell than what you owe. If the site never sells anything, that is our risk — not yours." David Hahn · Hahn Technologies Corp

Built for a New Bern painter

Our first artist site — a watercolorist with a lifetime behind her and no way for anyone to buy a card.

Watercolor butterfly on a cornflower by Jean Richards

Jean Richards — jeanrichardsart.com

Painting since 1998. Her old site showed a dozen paintings with prices on them and no way to buy any of them. It never once mentioned New Bern, so nobody searching locally could find her. Two of six pictures had descriptions, so the rest were invisible to Google.

She now has a gallery sorted into collections, hand-finished cards and prints with a real checkout, a workshops section for the teaching she actually wants to do, and her whole life written down — Wyoming in 1957 through to New Bern today.

"An expert once told me I had done all the work and now needed a marketing manager. You are probably the first one that's qualified."— Jean Richards
