No upfront option

Marketplaces can help people find your work, but every order comes with a cost. Etsy, Amazon, eBay and Not On The High Street take a slice, while the customer relationship stays with them. Your own online shop gives you a place to sell prints, originals and framed work without handing over every future sale.

A proper shop does more than display your artwork. It needs to show sizes clearly, manage limited editions, offer framing choices, take secure payments and calculate delivery. It also needs to help you recover abandoned baskets, track sales and bring previous customers back when you release new work.

The problem

What is costing Artists & Print Sellers work right now

Marketplace fees cut every sale

Etsy, Amazon, eBay and Not On The High Street can take fees from each order. Those costs reduce your margin on prints, framed work and limited editions before packaging and postage.

Your customers belong elsewhere

Marketplace buyers may remember where they found your product, not who made it. Without your own customer list, you have less chance to announce new collections, restocks or exhibitions.

Sizes and options cause confusion

Customers need clear answers about paper, dimensions, frames, mounts and delivery. A simple social media page rarely presents those choices clearly enough for a confident purchase.

What do you want the website to do?

We use your details only to reply to this enquiry. No lists, no sharing.

The result

What changes once it is live

You own the customer relationship

Customers buy through your shop, so their order details and permission to hear from you stay with your business. You can promote future collections without relying on a marketplace algorithm.

Every product has a clear path

Buyers can choose a print size, paper, frame and delivery option without sending several messages. Clear product pages make the buying decision easier and reduce avoidable questions.

Limited editions stay controlled

Stock levels update as orders come in. Edition numbers, sold-out products and restocks are easier to manage, helping you protect scarcity and avoid promising work that has already gone.

01

Your online shop keeps selling while you create

Your website becomes the hub for every part of your online sales. Customers can browse collections, compare print sizes, choose framing, pay securely and receive order details without waiting for a reply. You can sell originals, open editions, limited runs, greetings cards and digital products from one organised shop.

We build the shop around your products and fulfilment process. That includes clear product pages, stock control, order management, delivery choices and payment checks. Your customer list stays with your business, giving you permission to email people about new collections, restocks and seasonal releases.

  • Product pages built to sell
  • Secure Stripe and PayPal payments
  • Print sizes and framing options
  • Limited edition stock control
  • Shipping and delivery settings
  • Order emails and customer records

02

Local search brings nearby buyers to your work

People search Google for prints, wall art, local artists and handmade gifts before they visit a marketplace. We make your artist ecommerce website easier for those buyers to find. Your pages explain what you sell, where you work and which products are available.

We also improve your Google Business Profile, the business listing that appears in Google Search and Maps. It can show your opening hours, images, website and reviews. Regular updates and accurate details help local customers discover your studio, shop events, commissions and online collections.

This matters across Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Wallsend, Jarrow, Washington, Cramlington and Blyth. We also work with artists and print sellers across the UK.

  • Google Business Profile updates
  • Local search page planning
  • Collection and product page copy
  • Google product listing setup
  • Accurate contact and location details

More detail

More on websites for artists & print sellers

The rest of what artists & print sellers ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.

Some customers want to buy a standard print. Others need a framed piece, a larger size or artwork for a business space. A generic contact form produces vague messages that take time to chase. We build forms that collect the details you need before you reply.

Your form can ask about print size, paper, frame colour, quantity, delivery location, deadline and budget. For commissions, it can request room images, reference ideas and intended use. You receive a clear enquiry that is easier to price and less likely to become a long chain of emails.

The right form also separates quick purchases from work that needs a conversation. That helps you protect creative time while giving serious buyers a clear route to the next step.

  • Print size and paper choices
  • Framing and mounting details
  • Commission brief questions
  • Delivery postcode and deadline
  • Image and reference uploads
  • Clear enquiry notifications

People buying artwork online want to know that the print arrives safely, looks like the pictures and matches the description. Reviews answer those worries better than another paragraph of sales copy. They show that real customers received their order and were happy with the result.

We can build a follow-up process that asks for a review after delivery. The message can point customers to your chosen review platform and give them a simple next step. You can also collect feedback about packaging, print quality, framing and service.

Reviews then support your website, Google Business Profile and future marketing. They help a buyer choose you when several artists offer similar styles. Strong proof can also reduce repeated questions about paper, colours, dispatch times and safe delivery.

  • Post-purchase review requests
  • Google Business Profile review links
  • Customer feedback collection
  • Review content for product pages
  • Packaging and delivery proof

A missed call can be a lost commission, gallery enquiry or urgent order question. The AI Receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, even when you are painting, teaching, exhibiting or packing orders. It gives callers a helpful first response instead of sending them straight to voicemail.

It takes the caller's details, records what they need and sorts urgency. Someone asking about a standard print can be directed to the shop. A commission enquiry can include the size, deadline and budget. You receive a text immediately, so you can respond when your hands are free.

The AI Receptionist costs £169 a month on its own. It is £199 a month with Website Care, saving £29 compared with buying both separately. It supports your website by making sure phone enquiries do not disappear when you cannot answer.

  • Answers calls 24 hours a day
  • Uses your business name
  • Takes job and enquiry details
  • Sorts urgent calls
  • Texts you straight away
  • £169 monthly, or £199 with care

When you are ready to buy leads, Google Ads can place your products and landing pages in front of people searching for prints, wall art, gifts or commissioned artwork. We manage the campaigns around your stock, margins, delivery areas and best-selling collections.

Google Ads Management is £449 a month. This includes campaign management, bid and budget changes, advert testing, removing poor search terms, landing page improvements and a monthly reporting call. Your advertising spend goes directly to Google. We never mark it up.

Tracking shows which advert and search led to a product view, basket, purchase or commission enquiry. That gives you a clearer view of the sales your campaigns produce, rather than only showing clicks and visits.

  • Google Ads campaign management
  • Google Shopping and Merchant Centre
  • Advert copy testing
  • Poor search term removal
  • Landing page improvements
  • Sales and enquiry tracking

A shop should keep working after launch. SEO and Content is £249 a month and includes two useful pages or articles each month, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, business listing updates, search position tracking and a monthly report.

For an artist, that content might explain print sizes, archival paper, framing, safe delivery, buying limited editions or choosing artwork for a room. It can answer the questions buyers ask before they purchase and give Google more useful information about your work.

You can add Automated Social Media for £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts to Facebook and Instagram, with a month of content approved in one sitting. The Intelligent Marketing Coach is £49 a month and turns your marketing into weekly tasks.

  • SEO and Content, £249 a month
  • Two pages or articles monthly
  • Google Business Profile posts
  • Automated Social Media, £99 a month
  • Intelligent Marketing Coach, £49 a month
  • Monthly reporting and next steps

Ecommerce Launch costs £2,495. It gives you everything needed to start selling properly online, including products, payments, delivery and order handling. It suits an artist moving from social media or a marketplace into an owned shop.

Ecommerce Growth costs £3,995 and is the package most businesses should take. It is built to grow orders, with stronger product journeys, marketing connections, tracking and room for a wider collection. Ecommerce Pro starts from £5,995 for established sellers with complex stock, fulfilment or operational needs.

Ecommerce Care is required for every client at £99 a month. A shop needs more attention than a brochure website because payments, stock, software and security must keep working. It includes hosting, security checks, daily backups, updates, uptime monitoring, content changes and email support.

If you want to start without the upfront build cost, the no upfront option is £199 a month on a 24 month term. It includes a template shop built for your business, hosting, care and the AI Receptionist. All prices exclude VAT.

  • Ecommerce Launch, £2,495
  • Ecommerce Growth, £3,995
  • Ecommerce Pro, from £5,995
  • Ecommerce Care, £99 a month
  • No upfront option, £199 a month

The honest comparison

Why do some websites cost £199?

It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.

If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.

Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.

Who writes the words

A £199 builder site

You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.

A Look North website

We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.

Whether it shows up on Google

A £199 builder site

It will rank for your business name. Not much else.

A Look North website

A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.

What happens to an enquiry

A £199 builder site

A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.

A Look North website

Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.

When the phone rings and you are on a job

A £199 builder site

It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.

A Look North website

Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.

Knowing what is working

A £199 builder site

A visitor counter, if that.

A Look North website

Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.

Getting reviews

A £199 builder site

You remember to ask, sometimes.

A Look North website

Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.

What happens after launch

A £199 builder site

Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.

A Look North website

The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.

Who owns it

A £199 builder site

The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.

A Look North website

You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.

Speed on a phone

A £199 builder site

Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.

A Look North website

Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.

When something breaks

A £199 builder site

A help centre article and a support queue.

A Look North website

Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.

We have a £199 a month option too. It is not the same thing.

If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.

£199 a month

24 month term, nothing upfront

Start with no upfront cost

What the difference buys

What you actually get for the difference

Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.

01

Every call answered

A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.

02

Found for the work you want

One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.

03

Enquiries you can price

Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.

04

Proof that compounds

A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.

05

Words written for you

Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.

06

Proof of what paid off

Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.

07

A plan for after launch

The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.

08

You own the lot

Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.

If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.

FAQ

Artists & Print Sellers ask us these most

Price, timescales and ownership, answered for a artist.

Ecommerce Launch costs £2,495. Ecommerce Growth costs £3,995 and is the package most businesses should take. Ecommerce Pro starts from £5,995 for established sellers with more complex stock, fulfilment or operational needs. Ecommerce Care is required at £99 a month. All prices exclude VAT. Payment is 50% on signing and 50% when the shop launches.
The timescale depends on the number of products, options and connections needed. A smaller shop with ready images, descriptions and prices can move faster than a large catalogue with framing choices and complicated delivery. We agree the plan before work starts and tell you what we need. Your part is supplying product details, images, policies and access to payment or delivery accounts.
Ecommerce Care is required because an online shop needs more attention than a brochure website. Payments, stock tools, shop software and security all need checking. The £99 monthly service includes hosting, SSL security, daily backups, security monitoring, software updates, uptime monitoring, up to 30 minutes of content changes each month and email support.
Yes. Your own shop does not stop you using Etsy, Amazon, eBay or Not On The High Street. It gives you another sales channel that you own. We can help you decide which products belong on each channel and how to direct repeat buyers towards your website, where you keep more control over the customer relationship and future marketing.
Yes. We can set up product choices for print dimensions, paper types, mounts, frame colours and other options. The shop can show how each choice affects price and delivery. We will plan the options around your real products, so customers are not forced to send an email just to find out what a larger print or framed version costs.
Yes. Limited editions can have controlled stock quantities, while originals can be marked as sold once purchased. Product pages can show edition information, remaining availability, dimensions and delivery details. We will also discuss how you want to handle reserved work, studio pieces, deposits and one-off products before building the shop.
We work with Stripe and PayPal. Stripe can take card payments through your checkout, while PayPal gives customers another familiar option. The final setup depends on your account approval and business checks. Payment fees are charged by the payment provider, not by us. We will help connect the accounts and test the checkout before launch.
Yes. Delivery can be based on product type, size, weight, destination or a set shipping rule. Framed work often needs different packaging and courier arrangements from unframed prints, so we will map those rules during planning. If you use a specialist fulfilment or print partner, we will review what information needs to pass between the systems.
We build useful product and collection pages, connect your Google Business Profile and can set up Google Shopping and Merchant Centre. These help Google understand what you sell and show products to relevant searchers. Ongoing SEO and Content is available for £249 a month, including two pages or articles, local search work, profile posts, business listings, tracking and reporting.
The AI Receptionist answers calls 24/7 in your business name. It takes the caller's details, records what they need, sorts urgency and texts you immediately. It can handle questions about commissions, print orders and callbacks while you are unavailable. It costs £169 a month on its own, or £199 a month with Website Care.
Google Ads Management costs £449 a month. It includes campaign management, bid and budget changes, advert testing, poor search term removal, landing page improvements and a monthly reporting call. Your advertising spend is billed directly by Google. It is never marked up by us. We also track which clicks became product purchases or genuine commission enquiries.
Yes. The no upfront option costs £199 a month on a 24 month term, with no setup fee. It includes a template shop built for your trade, hosting, Ecommerce Care and the AI Receptionist. This suits a business that wants to begin selling now without paying the full build price first. All prices exclude VAT.
You own the website, shop content, product information and customer data. We build and manage the technical parts under the agreed service terms. You can request changes, add products and ask for support. We will explain any third-party accounts, such as payment providers or Google, because those accounts remain subject to their own terms.
Monthly services have a 12 month minimum term because marketing and technical care need time to work properly. This applies to monthly billing after launch, with billing continuing monthly afterwards. Build payments are separate, with 50% on signature and 50% on launch. Modules can be added at any time, so you can expand support as your shop grows.
Yes. We can connect your shop to an email marketing service and set up messages for useful moments, such as a welcome email, a new collection, a restock or an abandoned basket. Abandoned basket recovery reminds someone about products they considered but did not buy. We will make sure your emails follow the right permission and privacy rules.
