Art sales site for buying and selling artworks
In recent days, a significant number of respected artists and collectors have consulted with Honar Holding colleagues about setting up a personal website, and this has prompted us to provide you with an educational article explaining these matters…
The first and main concern of these dear ones (whether artists who create works of art or art collectors) is to use a structure that does not require change and is the best possible way to display, buy, and sell works of art.

The pros and cons of starting an artist’s personal website
- Financial and time costs seem to be the first important issue in this action, which includes creation, opening, and ongoing maintenance costs.

- Lack of group display of works and use of other people’s abilities to overlap tastes, etc. to attract a new audience

Our experience
We have seen many artists who have personal websites, and some have done this for more than 15 years and are among the first people active in this field, international and multilingual art websites, websites with the ability to sell artwork online, art websites with Android and iOS applications, websites with a very beautiful appearance and sometimes personal templates, etc.
But
In almost 90% of cases, websites are not up-to-date (updating requires a weekly check of the entire technical infrastructure of the site); they do not have professional content security systems (using a specialized security system is very expensive); the templates have severe responsiveness issues (viewing on all mobile platforms requires frequent updating of templates and modules); there is no up-to-date artistic content to read and view (producing specialized content and registering it on an artistic site requires a very high and ongoing cost), and…
And these same things cause an artist who owns a website, sometimes old and expensive, to be placed on more vibrant and powerful sites by search engines (such as Google) after an exhibition or the artist’s personal page, and not the first suggestion to enthusiasts.

Certainly, using personal actions in various artistic fields seems attractive at first, and over time, the details and costs can cause the loss of the cash and time capital of the individual taking action. Group and international projects for marketing and displaying artwork and branding artists that have been created with a very high level of cash and specialized capital worldwide can be very attractive, but with conditions and stipulations…
