About This Hosting

Arts and Crafts Website Hosting UK

UK artists - painters, printmakers, illustrators, sculptors, ceramicists, textile artists - and crafters of every discipline increasingly sell their work online. A dedicated arts and crafts website gives you full control over how your work is presented, who your buyers are, and how much of each sale you keep. Platform alternatives (Etsy, Artfinder, Not On The High Street, Artsy) take 10–25% commission and present your work alongside thousands of others in a commoditised marketplace. Your own website presents your work in your own context, builds your collector base, and captures the full margin on every sale.
