I’m in the middle of creating a more consistent brand for my art and displays for art festivals. This blog post comes at a great time. My artwork is of the agricultural landscapes of southern New Jersey. Three words I feel that represent my work are: relaxing, detailed, and reflective. Alyson talks about putting yourself into your brand. I also love antiques and flea marketing. I am planning on using this aspect of myself/interests in displaying my artwork and the graphics/fonts that I use. I feel my images work well with antiques/vintage images (like antiques, farms are becoming rare) All insights are appreciated.

I agree with Roxanne 100%, Alyson! (just coming to this discussion). I often refer artists to the resources you offer. I mention your name, but Art Biz is the easiest thing for them to remember to Google. You’ve done a fabulous job of branding from my standpoint.

Sari, my next goal is to work on some of what you said, more text to my site. It is big in images but less so in text and the more the text stays there, the less i like it, looking forward to some editing!

Thank you, Laura. Art Biz Coach isn’t changing or going anywhere. I’m so excited that I have exactly the right person to help me clarify everything.

Totally general comment:

So I think that when I see the art in a nice size right on the front page when I lad on a website is very stunning & beautiful…

It also saves me the trouble of looking for it-it’s the first thing I look for…(2nd is a blog, 3rd is usually the store if there is one, if I get that far it means I want to buy something…)

Now, I have found that search engines aren’t like me…Search engines link to words…

So if I want to optimize for new traffic(people who don’t know me), I put the blog page as my landing page…Then my website address & blurb get listed in search results very well…

It is not as pretty…or convenient for people…But words on the first page, especially the tons & tons of words a blog page produces, gets me eyeballs…

Ok…(I notice alot of landing pages are pretty spare on words…)
