Instant Gratification For Online Visitors To The Guide. Because
Art Is What Art Lovers Want To See
Our design philosophy for the Guide is to display artist's images at every opportunity. Part of this philosophy is to make sure your art is not upstaged by fancy page design or glitzy graphics. That's why we use a simple, plain white background on every page – we want your art to stand out. After all, art is what art lovers want to see, so we've even placed images on our Bookmark, Tell a Friend and Contact pages. Just like the home page, these images are live links to each artist's listing page.
Instant gratification for our online visitors is our goal. It lets them know they've landed in the right place to see art . If they find you as a result of an online search, they'll land directly on your listing and see five sample images of your work in a row across the top of your page.
If they land on the Guide's home page first, they'll see a matrix of fifteen images, taken at random from the artists' listings. The neat thing here is… there's a button on the home page that displays the next fifteen images from the Guide's art database. If visitors repeatedly click this button, they'll be treated to a slide show of images. What we've found that everyone really likes this feature, because it's instant gratification for art lovers.
The benefit to you is that your images will be constantly displayed on the Guide's home page. When a visitor clicks on one of your images, your listing pops up instantly, along with the rest of your images and all of your information.
Here's what we've learned from this feature: Art lovers gravitate to art and they are attracted to images, so they will spend time clicking away to see what's next. It puts them in treasure hunt mode, so looking at the next group of images is irresistible. In fact, it's a little addicting. As one of the artists in the Guide, you'll be part of our front-page slide show.
“When on a vacation, we became interested in a particular artist. Back home, researching the artist, we came upon your website, which directed us to galleries showing that particular artist. Your site provided instant gratification for a collector, providing a slide show of sorts featuring different artists and varying styles quickly and easily without difficulty to navigate. I did end up making one purchase and possibly another with the help of this website.” Cate Linn, Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania |
Being Found On The Internet Is
A Lot More Difficult Than You Might Think
The dirty little secret of the Internet is that very few web developers can take the time to keep you visible in the top Internet search engines. It's a complicated, time-consuming task, requiring a staff of experts dedicated solely to this purpose. Most web developers just can't devote the resources necessary for good engine management. See our section on How To Be Found On The Internet to learn why when someone says, “I've submitted your site to all the search engines” it doesn't even come close to cutting it.
If someone is trying to find you and they type your name in a Google search box, wouldn't it be nice if your name came up and, with one click, they could land on your listing in the Guide? Once there, they'll see more examples of your work and be able to read all about you. And, we've made it easy for them contact you when they're interested in buying your work.
And, here's another advantage: If you have a web site, it will benefit directly from your listing in the Guide, because search engines will automatically follow the link from the Guide to your site, giving you even more online visibility! This level of search engine exposure for personal web sites is nearly impossible to accomplish on your own, but it's included with your listing in the Guide.
