Build Your Brand. Showcase Your Work

website design for artists, authors & creators

expect more.

Your work is unique. Your website should be, too.

You’ve put your time, talent, and personality into creating something that is distinctly yours. Your website should do more than simply give you a place online—it should showcase your work, connect you with your audience, and give you the tools you need to grow your creative business.

11 Fingers Design builds professional websites for artists, authors, makers, speakers, consultants, and independent creators. Whether you need a simple portfolio, an author website for a growing catalog of books, or a complete e-commerce website where customers can purchase your work directly, we'll build around what you need.

We don't expect your creative business to fit neatly into an off-the-shelf website template.

Tell Your Story

Build Your Brand

As a creative professional, your website needs to capture your individual style while making it easy for visitors to understand who you are, explore what you create, and take the next step.

That might mean browsing a portfolio, discovering your newest book, signing up for a newsletter, checking upcoming appearances, requesting a commission, or buying something directly from you.

We can build your website around the way your audience actually interacts with your work, with features such as:

  • Artist and creative portfolios
  • Book and series catalogs
  • Author and creator biographies
  • Galleries and project collections
  • Events, appearances, and book signings
  • Blogs and news
  • Newsletter and mailing-list integration
  • Social media integration
  • Press and media resources
  • Commission or inquiry forms
  • Digital downloads and subscriber content
  • Online stores and e-commerce

Most importantly, we'll keep it simple for you to manage—or manage it for you.

Websites for Authors & Public Speakers

We've worked with authors at every stage of their careers, from writers preparing to launch a first book to established authors managing extensive catalogs and multiple series.

An author website needs to grow along with the author's career. New releases, series, appearances, newsletters, giveaways, foreign editions, and direct sales can quickly outgrow a basic website.

Our author website solutions can include easy-to-manage book and series information, newsletter integration, events and appearances, social media and sales links, landing pages, e-commerce, and other tools specifically selected for the way you promote your books.

Already have several books—or planning ahead? We'll build a structure that leaves room for the next one.

Websites for Artists & Makers

A great artist website puts the work first.

We create websites that give photography, illustration, fine art, crafts, and other creative work room to make an impression while still providing visitors with clear information about the artist behind it.

Your website can serve as a professional portfolio, an online gallery, a source for commission inquiries, an e-commerce store—or all of the above.

And because every artist works differently, we can develop solutions for organizing and presenting your work that make sense for your portfolio rather than forcing it into a generic website format.

DESIGN WITH PURPOSE

Sell Your Work Online.

Your website can be more than a portfolio. It can be your storefront.

11 Fingers provides e-commerce website development for artists, authors, and creators who want to sell directly to their audience. From signed books and original artwork to prints, merchandise, memberships, or other creative products, we'll help you determine the right way to bring online sales into your website.

Already selling somewhere else? We can connect your website with your existing online sales channels and make it easy for customers to move from discovering your work to making a purchase.

Need your own online store? We can help you select and configure an e-commerce platform, organize your products, customize the storefront to coordinate with your brand, and provide ongoing support as your catalog grows.

Whether you're selling five products or five hundred, the goal is the same: make buying from you easy.

Everything Works Together

Your website doesn't exist by itself.

Social media, email newsletters, online stores, printed promotional materials, book covers, business cards, advertising, and event materials all contribute to the way your audience recognizes you.

As a full-service website and graphic design company, 11 Fingers can help keep those pieces working together. Instead of juggling different vendors for your website, graphics, hosting, e-commerce, and ongoing updates, you can have one design team that already knows your work and your brand.

Spend Your Time Creating, Not Managing a Website

Some creators want complete control of their websites. Others never want to log into an administration panel.

Both are fine with us.

We can give you simple tools for managing the information you want to control yourself and provide ongoing website support for everything else. When you have a new book, piece of artwork, event, product, or announcement, you can have a dedicated 11 Fingers website specialist available to help.

You decide how much—or how little—of the website you want to manage.

Your website should support your vision. Not contain it.

We'll help you figure out the technology, design and support to make it happen.
