Managed Service Plans
Each engagement starts with a consultation to understand your work, your goals, and where you are in your art career. The right plan flows from that conversation.
The Sandpiper Plan
For visual artists building their online presence — Painters, Watercolorists, Photographers, Pencil Artists, etc... who are ready to take control of how their work is seen and sold. Whether you're launching your first website or escaping a platform that's been burying your work, this is where it starts.
- Custom portfolio website with gallery
- eCommerce setup for selling originals and prints
- Print fulfillment integration with your preferred printer
- Social media integration
- SEO optimization (2x per year)
- VPS hosting sized for growing traffic
- Professional email support (48-hour response)
The Royal Tern Plan
For established artists with an active collector base, higher traffic, and a broader product catalog. If you're selling originals, limited editions, open edition prints, note cards, calendars, or licensing your images — and you need the infrastructure and strategic support to keep that engine running — this is your plan.
- Everything in the Sandpiper plan, plus:
- Expanded eCommerce for deeper product catalogs (prints, note cards, merchandise, licensing)
- Multiple print fulfillment partner integration
- Social media integration and content strategy support
- SEO optimization (quarterly, 4x per year)
- VPS hosting sized for established traffic and catalog depth
- Priority email and phone support (8-hour response)
- Enhanced security and performance optimization
Plan differences are based on the level of service, strategic work, and infrastructure your situation requires. VPS hosting is sized to your traffic and catalog needs.
