squarespace
Reliable - Customizable - User friendly
One of the most well known of the template providers, Squarespace offers good customization options, superb customer service and a simple, intuitive admin area which makes small updates and edits easy for an artist to do themselves. Also offers seamless integration with e-commerce, Soundcloud, Vimeo, and Instagram. We have developed a custom template - exclusive to Dazed and Confucius.
This is a good choice for the artist who plans on making updates themselves within a widely used, well-supported template. Also a good choice for artists who plan to (or already do) sell their work directly to their patrons.
What's included:
Image optimization and resizing for your website, if needed

Work galleries - we recommend approximately 15 images in each gallery and the fee includes working with up to 60 of your images (additional $3 per image afterwards).

If you don't have all the content we listed above and still want to get going, don't worry. We will build a hidden site and publish when you're ready.
FEES
CA$750.00 ($620.00 USD) for the build, which assumes the artist will provide all visual assets and written material.
It does not include vendor subscription costs for domain or web hosting. Monthly, domain hosting typically costs approximately $2-$5 and current Squarespace website hosting subscription fees can be seen HERE.
Once the site is launched we send a sign-off email with links to support resources to facilitate the on-going self-administration of your website. If you need, or prefer, support from us after the website is built - for edits and updates, admin-panel help, tutoring, etc. - we charge $85 per hour.
