Frequently Asked Questions by New Zealand artists

Often an artist's website can cost thousands of Dollars upfront, mainly due to the time it takes to create them with all the functionality the artists require. We realised this, so in a strive to promote New Zealand artists, we developed Artist Net specifically for artists as a platform they can use with ease, without requiring a graphics designer or web guru to put it all together.

By offering Artist Net at a very low cost, all the artists cover these costs together.

Artist Net was developed specifically for New Zealand artists to display their art, so only NZ artists may sign up to use the software. Your artist websites will however be accessible and visible worldwide!

In theory, any type of NZ artist that can create photos of their physical artwork can sign up to use the website, such as painters, embroiders, potters, sculptors etc.

If your photos require digital editing however (cropping, rotating etc), then these should be edited before you upload them. The images for your artwork can always be updated should you wisth to change existing photos.

Artist Net does not offer online payment facilities. Viewers can simply generate an enquiry through your artist website for an individual art piece with the click of the mouse to which you respond with your own arrangements.
