Once you have created a database of your work within Artlook for Artists why not create your own web site to display them? With Artlook Sitebuilder the process is simple, requires no technical knowledge and is highly affordable. Within minutes you can create your own site - under your own domain name - and upload your images to the site.

A web site built with Sitebuilder goes further than just working as an "on-line" gallery - you have complete control over the pages you create and the content of those pages. Change the colour scheme and page layouts to suit your style, include "key" images to add impact and see your changes applied instantly to the site once you click the Update button.

If you already have a domain name (eg www.myname.com) you can use that with Sitebuilder or we can arrange registration of your name for you and the hosting of your pages at very competitive rates.

• Use Artlook for Artists to control which items are published to the web site, the image and accompanying text
• Use Sitebuilder to control the appearance of your pages and to add text and formatting to the individual pages you create
• Group your work into subheadings using Artlook "stock categories" or "catalogues"
• Preview your pages before uploading them
• Your images are automatically optimised for display ensuring fast download times - thumbnails are created automatically and the email enquiry functions enable the visitor to quickly request more information about a specific item - or even place an order!

Artlook Sitebuilder is installed automatically with your copy of Artlook for Artists. However, to use the web site creation tools users must subscribe both to the full Artlook email support and update service as well as the annual Sitebuilder maintenance service. See the Pricing page for details.

If you already have a web site ....

If you already have a web site you can still use Artlook Sitebuilder to manage the uploading of images and stock items to your own site. The individual pages created by Sitebuilder can be used as a complete web site in their own right or they can be "embedded" within another site with the background colours, fonts etc. configured to match as closely as possible the site within which they will be appearing. While some HTML knowledge is required to incorporate pages in this way it is in fact quite straightforward and can represent a very attractive means of updating the images and stock shown on your existing site - potentially even a cheaper alternative to the way you do it currently.

Web sites created using the Artlook Sitebuilder software tools must be hosted on web servers which meet certain minimum technical requirements for them to operate correctly. The server support PHP scripting and must enable you to create and manage at least one mySQL database. This is discussed in greater detail within the on-line help provided for Sitebuilder or further information can be provided by our Support team.
