Website for posting photos of paintings to sell?
-
I have a friend who is interested in a website where she can: 1. post photos of her paintings 2. have people provide feedback 3. and also offer the paintings for sale. What websites do you recommend for 1&2, and do these websites usually have restrictions regarding generating some revenue from sales of the paintings? E-commerce isn't required, and my friend does not want to use FaceBook. :) Thanks! Marc
http://www.amazon.com/ ? or you can use Ebay.com a international site rather then for specific region if the item or paintings are famous for all region.

Make one. The specs seem simple enough that it can be done in a few hours.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

That's what I'm looking for - a recommendation. :) Marc

Hmmm. Well, these are her own paintings. Marc

Hmmm. I think something more "personal" would be more appropriate. These are paintings of mandalas. Marc

This might be useful: Share your art here[^] Edit: Some of the paintings/photos may not be KSS/SFW. Sorry if this offends you Marc...was not my intention. The site still looks legit though.

Yes. I would also recommend that she create a blog or a personal site and link to those, or link from those.
Indeed. There's a lot of possibilities here. :) Marc

Hi Marc, I think that a personal website with the name of the artist as domain name is the best way to do it for several reasons: 1. It is a professional independent way of promoting the artist. 2. It gives the option to show high detail images of the art, something potential buyers will appreciate. 3. A lot of artists are active in multiple disciplines ( painting, writing poems and so on ) and a personal website provides the space to present the whole picture. 4. The website can provide a historical overview of all the previous work to people who are interested (also the work that's already sold). 5. It's a source to link to in articles in media, blogs on the internet and when SEO optimized it will come up in the first listing when someone Google’s for the artist (Google for whatever you want and see that domain-names with the subject you search included are all way’s top listed). 6. The layout of the website can be an Artwork on itself and is very important because it's the first impression that people get! So My advice would be to build a personal website.
With friendly greetings,:) Eric Goedhart
