Picking the right one

How to choose an artist website template

A template’s job on an art site is to disappear. If a visitor notices the layout before the work, the template has failed. Start there, then work through three practical questions.

  • What do you sell?

    If it is originals, you want a clean, image-forward layout and a store that handles one-off inventory. If it is prints and commissions, you want a shop that scales and a private way to share work in progress.

  • How does it carry a large body of work?

    A painter with 200 pieces and an illustrator with six tight projects need different navigation. Look for project grouping and filtering, not one long grid.

  • How much will you change by hand?

    If the presets are enough, most templates work as they come. If you have a specific grid or type treatment in mind, pick the closest one and rework it with custom CSS.

What artists say

Why artists and illustrators choose Pixpa

The reason that recurs in reviews is the economics. On most builders you pay for the portfolio, pay again for a store, and give up a cut on every sale. Pixpa puts the store inside the portfolio and takes no commission, so a print or an original sells for the full amount on a single plan. That mix of low price and no sales cut is what artists point to across 600+ Capterra reviews.

“The templates are professional yet unique, and it is easy to navigate.”

What is the best artist website template?

It depends on what you sell. Painters selling originals do best on a full-bleed, minimal template like Crimson or White. Illustrators showing series work do better on a grid template like Lattice or Sketch. Every template is fully customizable, and Pixpa holds 4.7 out of 5 across 600+ Capterra reviews, so the safest route is to start a free trial and try two or three against your own work.

Every template is included in the 15-day free trial, which runs without a credit card. After the trial, an artist website starts at a low monthly rate billed yearly, and there is a 30-day money-back window if it is not the right fit. There is no permanently free plan, which keeps the templates ad-free and the store commission-free.

No. Every template works out of the box with drag-and-drop editing. Custom CSS and HTML are there if you want to change type, spacing, grid or color by hand, but they are optional. Reviewers who describe themselves as non-coders build complete sites on their own.

Yes. A zero-commission Online Store sits behind every template, so you keep the full amount on prints, originals and digital downloads, paid through Stripe or PayPal. E-commerce galleries let you sell prints per image, and the store marks an original sold the moment it goes.

Grid and project-grouped templates suit illustration work best, because a series needs to stay together on its own page. Lattice, Hue, Sketch, Motif, Mural and Spark are built around that structure.

Full-bleed, minimal templates suit paintings, where color and scale carry the work and the interface should stay quiet. Crimson, Pioneer, Brush, White, Aspen and Macro run image-first with high-resolution handling.

Yes. Change fonts, colors, spacing and gallery layouts from the editor, and go further with custom CSS and HTML when you want a specific grid or type treatment. You can keep editing after the site is live.

Yes. Most artists on Pixpa came from Squarespace or Wix. You rebuild on a template, import your images and set up the store. Support replies in chat if you get stuck, which is the point reviewers raise most often.

Yes. Every template is responsive and adjusts to phones and tablets without a separate mobile version. You can preview and fine-tune the mobile view before publishing.

The trial runs 15 days with no credit card. If you subscribe and change your mind, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.
