Portfolio sites for artists & galleries
They are checking whether the work is current, whether the series hold together, whether the prices make sense. Ten seconds, and they have decided. I build sites where every work has its own page — priced, dated, findable, and reachable by email.
Measured on budzko.art, rebuilt September 2026. Not estimates.
Case 01
An oil painter with twenty-nine works and a website that search engines could not read.
Seven pages, six of which existed only as anchors — a search engine saw one address. The gallery page carried twenty-five characters of text. The contact button opened the visitor's mail client, or on a phone without one, did nothing.
A page for every painting, with medium, size, year, price and availability written so a machine can read them. Email on the artist's own domain, sending and receiving. An inquiry form that already names the painting being asked about.
Thirty-six addresses instead of seven. Every painting findable by its own title. Inquiries arrive as ordinary email with the visitor in Reply-To. The whole thing runs on a free plan — €0 a month, indefinitely.
How I work
What you get
Pricing
50% to start, 50% on delivery.
50% to start, 50% on delivery.
Optional. Cancel any time.
A template site works too, and charges you every month forever — for one address shared by your whole collection. One work sold directly usually covers a good part of this.
For galleries
The website is where you keep it.
Process
I look at what you have and tell you what I would do and what it would cost. Free, and nothing to sign.
50% up front, photographs and whatever you have written. If the texts don't exist, I draft them and you correct me.
From day three the site is live on a test address. Look whenever you like and say what is wrong. Two rounds of changes included.
Your domain, your email, your hosting, your code. Remaining 50% on delivery.
Who builds it
I am an engineer, not a web designer. I build systems that have to stay up, and I have paid the bills for keeping them running — which is why your site behaves like infrastructure and not like a brochure.
This started at home. My wife paints in oil; her work sat behind a website search engines could not read, so I rebuilt it properly and measured everything. I work alone and take two projects at a time.
Contact
Your Instagram, your gallery page, your old site — whatever exists. I will look at it and reply with what I would do and what it would cost. That reply is free and there is nothing to sign.
