Comet

A website builder for artists

Painters, illustrators, printmakers and makers: put your work first, take commissions and sell originals and prints, with nothing between you and your buyers. No code, free to start.

Your work, big

  • Grid, masonry, filmstrip or carousel galleries, and visitors can click any piece to see it full screen.
  • Give each series its own page, and lay every page out the way you like.

Sell originals and prints

  • Products with sizes and options, a basket and a checkout.
  • Set an original’s stock to one, so it can only sell once.
  • Prints through Printful, who print and post them.
  • Payments go to your own Stripe account. Comet takes no cut.

Downloads and commissions

  • Sell printables, patterns or brushes as downloads, emailed to the buyer.
  • A commission form that asks for the size, the budget and reference photos.

Put off casual copying

You can stop people right-clicking or long-pressing to save your images. It can’t stop screenshots.

Keep people coming back

List exhibitions and markets with their dates, write a blog, and collect newsletter sign-ups for new work.

What buyers look for on an artist’s website

  • Your series or subjects, so they can find what they like.
  • How commissions work, with from-prices and lead times.
  • Sizes, materials and edition sizes for prints.
  • Exhibitions, clients and stockists.
  • Only your own work, photographed well.
  • A copyright line in the footer, if you want one.
