Most Powerful Feature Yet

WOW!!! Very cool!!

That is the most wonderful news, especially for sorts like me that have a www address connected directly to FAA (no other site of my own) and now I can have my own site courtesy this facility, when I join POD and when I work out how to set up, etc. THANK YOU, Brian. Also, thanks for the new home page that appears when I log in: all so sensible, legible, usable: kudos again. Sincerely, Vivian

Sincere thanks mr Mcdunn.

Vivian,

Once you point your URL to your new website, let me know. I'd love to take a look and show everyone what you did. That's exactly what I hoped people would do.

Basically... for about $5, you can buy any domain name that you want (e.g. worldsgreatestartist.com) and then point that domain to your new FAA website (e.g. elizabeth-edwards.artistwebsites.com).

Once you do that, you can send people to http://worldsgreatestartist.com... and they'll see your new website.

Brian

Brian, that is soooo wonderful!!! THANK YOU!!! Brightest Blessings to you!

Roxy,

You're welcome.

Here's a page from your site:

http://roxy-riou.artistwebsites.com/art/all/floral+photography/canvas+prints

Just put your own header up top, and you're in business. It's a beautiful page of just your artwork!

I'm very excited about this feature, in case you can't tell.

Brian

I'm jumping up and down, Brian! :D Very excited too!!! lolol...Thank You Thank You!!!

I have to hand it to you Brian. Brilliant idea. For us as well as for you. Such a lovely symbiotic relationship between FAA and Artist

Cool! Cool! COOL!! THANKYOU, Brian!! X

Super excited Brian!!!! Wahoo wahooo!!! Thank you!! You must work 24/7, you'll soon need a vacation!!
Awesome!!

Wow! This is wonderful. Thank you, Brian.

This is way cool!
I'm going to play with it never ending.

Thanks a million.

Do you already know if and how these very own websites will show up in Google and other SE's?

do we still keep our FAA domain as well??.. for i have alot of people coming to this mainly through that..

Brian, thank you very much. I just have to figure out how to incorporate this into the website I already have and play around with this but I think I'm going to love it. And two weeks early.

and... how do i do it??.. it's a bit confusing..

never mind i figured out how to do it.. very cool brian..

With these new websites, I'm trying to solve all of the problems that make it difficult for artists to sell online.

Most artists do not have their own websites... or if you do, you face the following problems:

1. It can be very difficult to sell prints via your own site... not anymore.
2. It can be very time consuming trying to optimize your website for high rankings in Google... not anymore.
3. When you post new artwork on your website, the only people who know about it are the 10 - 20 people who visit your site each day. Not anymore... now the entire FAA community and our 3+ million monthly visitors will know about it.
4. It can be very difficult to display your artwork in various configurations (i.e. different frames, stretched canvases, greeting cards, etc.)... not anymore.
5. It can be very difficult to design an internal search engine that finds your artwork quickly and easily... not anymore.

etc...

In order to be successful online, you need a website that's very user-friendly, visually-appealing, and makes it easy for visitors to make a purchase. That's exactly what these new websites are designed to do.

I'm committed to making these websites the most powerful, affordable artist websites anywhere on the internet. They're only going to get better from here.

Brian

Brian............you are awesome. I don't know what to say other than Thank You so much. I'd kiss you, but I don't know where you live. LOL

Thank you Brian!

very cool. thank you

OMG!!!! This is wonderful!!!! I can't wait to try it out.......right after class.......Thank you so much for all your hard work Brian. Ah...UMMMM are you a God? If not we, artists can make you one....hehehe.

It works great! Thank you Brian.

I just customized my own header. This was easier than making a peanut butter sandwich! Again, my thanks.

Has anyone found a way to modify the homepage besides the header?

Hello

j have just discovered my new blog.

In galleries, the indicated prices are all exact
But, il we look with the keywords, there are differences for 13 articles
for example: "Dru" 289 instead of 390

How to correct this ? thank you !

cordially

Danielle Arnal

Thank you so much Brian. This is so great. I will have so much fun uploading images of new oil paintings as I complete them.

Incredibly useful feature. I always use my own website when promoting my paintings!

"Basically... for about $5, you can buy any domain name that you want (e.g. worldsgreatestartist.com) and then point that domain to your new FAA website (e.g. elizabeth-edwards.artistwebsites.com)."

Just found this today and wondering where can you buy a domain name for five dollars?

Lowest I have found one is $13

Personally, I used NameCheap when I purchase domain names. They aren't the cheapest, but I've been happy with their service.

You can buy domains fairly inexpensively from GoDaddy for the initial purchase. The price increases on the update. I don't have
any issues with GoDaddy expect their website is very cumbersome to use, and they always put the "hard-sell" on you.

Hi Sean,
I'm confused. I redesigned my site using a black and black marble background for my work and I was very pleased with the result. However, when I access the site I get the traditional white background. The redesign is much better than my own independent site and I was going to transfer all contacts to that site through the new redesigned FAA site, but I just can't access it. The new design features don't show.

Can someone explain what's going on,please

I can see the black/black marble background on your site, Barry and it looks fine.

Thanks Jane,

I'm somewhat reassured but I'm afraid that I can't see it when I log on. I'm not all that computer sav vy so maybe I'm doing something right.

Thanks

Barry, your browser is probably still showing you the old version of the page. Try to force your browser to reload the page, or find a nearby tech-savvy friend to show you how to clear the "browser cache". Oddly, I couldn't get to your Artist site using the link you posted. Maybe it contains a typo?

With the sort of talent and skill I see in your paintings, you don't need to worry too much about being computer savvy :-)

If you're using Windows IE for browsing the webpage, go to your site and then press the f5 button to refresh it. I see it just fine though the link you posted on your message had a typo, there is no "s" after "artist", it should be

I cant find mine, still comes up with regular site, even tho im on internet at a cafe

Still trying to find my way around ..

There are two reasons people get taken to the wrong address.

They add www to that address. There is no www and will lead them to a wrong page

They type it in Google search,

If they type it properly into the address bar of their browser it will take them to your site

I have been given a cumbersome URL,
http://3-chris-walker.artistwebsites.com/
I do not want to trade as the 3rd Chris Walker. I have many better choices of name. How do I change it?
