Editorial storefront
Homepage, shop, about, and contact that read as a catalog.
ArtKit
The other side of the artist website.
ArtKit gives independent artists a storefront that behaves like a gallery catalog, an online shop, and a back-office system. Not another template marketplace; a publication-grade home collectors can buy from.

Why ArtKit
Three decisions that keep the product from becoming another marketplace clone.
The artist owns the room
ArtKit keeps the product centered on the artist storefront. Marketplace discovery can exist, but the destination is always the artist-owned site, collector list, and brand system.
Publication before search
Discovery should feel edited and intentional: studio notes, process, provenance, and featured work instead of an infinite wall of interchangeable cards.
Infrastructure should disappear
Domains, checkout, fulfillment, and customer operations should be automated enough that artists spend their energy on work and collectors.
Operations included
The business layer sits behind the gallery wall.
Artists need more than a beautiful front page. ArtKit pairs the editorial storefront with checkout, customer records, and a custom domain that does not need a developer on every change.
Homepage, shop, portfolio, journal, and contact on the artist’s domain

A custom domain that stays on without a developer on every change
