Hello friend!

Let’s cut to the chase: you’re talented. Your art deserves to be seen, celebrated, and turned into a sustainable income. But if you’re struggling to make sales, there’s likely one glaring gap holding you back…

You don’t have a professional portfolio website.

Before you panic—this isn’t a lecture. I get it. Between creating art, hustling on social media, and juggling life, building a website feels overwhelming. But here’s the truth:

Clients, galleries, and buyers expect artists to have a dedicated space to showcase their work. Without one, you’re leaving money—and opportunities—on the table.

All of your work. All in one place. Automatically.

How much time do you spend manually updating your portfolio? And how often is it still outdated?

Say goodbye to the hassle of constantly updating your portfolio. Authory creates a beautiful, self-updating portfolio that automatically pulls in your new articles as you publish them, no matter where.

And that’s not all: Authory also backs up all your published articles automatically, so you never have to worry about losing your work.

Join thousands of writers who already use Authory to impress potential clients and employers.

Why Your Art Needs a Portfolio Website (Even If You’re on Social Media):

1️⃣ Credibility Boost
Social media is great, but a portfolio says, “I’m serious about my craft.” It’s your digital business card.
2️⃣ Control Your Brand
No algorithms hiding your posts. Your website is a 24/7 gallery where you decide how your work is presented.
3️⃣ Sell Directly
Skip the middleman! Many portfolio sites let you add a shop, commission buttons, or contact forms to close deals effortlessly.
4️⃣ Reach Global Buyers
Your Instagram followers are just the start. A website helps you rank on Google and attract collectors worldwide.

The Best Part? It Doesn’t Have to Cost a Dime.

You don’t need a fancy developer or a big budget. I’ve curated the Top 10 Free Portfolio Websites for Artists—platforms that are sleek, easy to use, and designed specifically for creatives like you.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • Which platforms let you sell art commission-free (no Etsy fees!).

  • How to choose a site that showcases your style (whether you paint murals or design digital NFTs).

  • Tools to embed Instagram feeds, add animations, or even password-protect client galleries.

“But What If I’m Not Tech-Savvy?”

No coding required! These platforms use drag-and-drop builders, templates, and step-by-step guides. You could have a stunning portfolio live by tomorrow.

Your art is your legacy. Don’t let it gather dust in a studio—or get lost in a social media feed.

Once your site is up, reply to this email—I’d love to see it!

Keep creating,
Jae
