Artist web site - Need help getting out of the weeds!
I've agreed to help a family member put their art online. She is a talented but new and unknown artist. The two of us have envisioned a very basic division between high-volume commercial and low- or no-volume fine art, both of which are important for her to publish.
Commercial pieces would be in the $5-100 range, average probably around $20. Fine art would be considerably more, but matters less, in terms of sales.
I'm coming to this project as a capable designer and developer, but parts of the big picture are eluding me, here:
- Would we be better off registering two domains and optimizing the content independently on both sites? (Presumably with some cross linking?) She wants her real name associated with her fine art, obviously, but is OK with using a more focused name for the commercial side.
- What would the traffic flow look like? E.g., would we use blogs and new art on the fine art side to funnel traffic to the commercial side?
- As much as she wants to be an artist as opposed to an IM'er, would the better short run be to focus on Adsense/affiliate/etc. income first, and slowly build her art sales in the background?
