vs. Instagram
Algorithms don't pay your bills.
Instagram decides who sees your work. Google shows your website to people actively searching for an artist. One brings in clients who are ready to book.
Artists with professional websites book more and charge more. This one gets you ranking on Google, looking like the pro you are, and closing clients who would have scrolled past your Instagram.
What's included
Portfolio, about, services, contact form. Everything clients need to go from 'found you on Google' to 'ready to book.'
Try before you buy
Don't take our word for it. Try the admin panel yourself, then browse example sites in different styles to see the flexibility.
Same template, completely different sites. Click around and see the details.
How it works
Most artists are live within a weekend.
After purchase, you get a ZIP file with everything you need. Unzip it anywhere on your computer.
Open index.html in your browser. Access the admin panel by adding ?admin to the URL. Update your name, colors, bio, and links without touching code.
Drop your images into the portfolio folder. Name them 001.jpg, 002.jpg, etc. The template displays them in your gallery automatically.
Hit publish from the admin panel and your site is live at yourstudio.portfolio.ink. No domain to buy. Or export and upload to any host you prefer.
Comparison
How it compares to the alternatives.
vs. Instagram
Instagram decides who sees your work. Google shows your website to people actively searching for an artist. One brings in clients who are ready to book.
vs. Website builders
Cancel Squarespace and your site vanishes. Cancel us and you still have every file. Host it anywhere. It's yours.
vs. Free templates
Generic templates scream "I spent $0 on my business." This was designed for tattoo artists. Clients notice the difference.
vs. Hiring a designer
Custom design is great if you can wait and spend thousands. This gets you live this weekend, looking professional, booking clients.
FAQ
