[Hidden-tech] artist portfolio website tools?

[Val Nelson]

Thanks to all who replied. These are all excellent and thoughtful responses.
Wow.

I definitely get that a professional website vs a do-it-yourself template
site is in order for anyone who wants to be seriously in business (I wrote a
blog post to that effect), but I don't think that is quite the case here,
yet.

Nonetheless, all those resources for selling are awesome and I will pass
them on.

Stacy, will you be offering your online selling for artists class anytime
soon?

Thank you
Val
