Before you go online
Clear answers about creating a illustrators website, its content and the tools you can use.
Grigora makes it easy to display high-resolution images. Our image optimization feature ensures your illustrations look sharp while loading quickly, providing an excellent viewing experience. You can create beautiful galleries and use various content blocks to highlight your best pieces, ensuring your artistic talent shines through to potential clients or collaborators.
Grigora includes a powerful built-in newsletter system. You can easily add newsletter subscription forms and popups to your website to capture emails from interested fans or art directors. Use our email templates to send out announcements about new work, exhibition dates, or commission availability, keeping your audience engaged with your artistic journey.
Yes. Grigora Commerce supports digital downloads, so buyers get a download link by email after checkout. You can price these as one-time purchases or set pay-what-you-want pricing for brush packs and resource files, alongside physical prints sold with variants for size and framing.
Set up your portfolio as a directory collection with typed fields. Use multi-image fields for each project's image set, option fields for medium or client type, and reference fields to link related pieces, so each project becomes its own structured entry instead of one unmanageable page.
Grigora Commerce includes pay-what-you-want pricing, which works for commission deposits or sliding-scale pricing where you set a suggested amount and the buyer can adjust it at checkout.
Product options and variants let you set size and finish, framed or unframed for example, as configurable choices, each with its own SKU and inventory count, so stock is tracked per variant automatically instead of by hand.
There is no importer for sites made with the AI builder, but you do not have to recreate the portfolio by hand. Give the AI builder the address of your current site and it drafts a new version from the public pages it can read; check every project page against the original.
Plans start at $15 a month on Starter, or $144 a year, which works out to $12 a month, with Pro at $25 a month. There is a free trial rather than a free tier. Selling prints or downloads uses your own Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, or Paddle account, so payouts come to you and their processing fees apply.
Run the shop on your own site. Each print becomes a product with sizes and finishes as variants, stock tracked per SKU, and shipping set up by zone. Payment goes through your own Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal, or Paddle account, so you deal with their processing fee and your plan, not a marketplace cut.
The differences worth weighing are how the first draft appears and what the store can do. Here you describe the work and get a generated site to edit, with variants, SKU-level inventory and digital downloads built in, plus newsletters and content lockers on the same plan.
Connect your domain, then add Grigora Mail at $5 a month per mailbox for something like hello@yourname.com. Art directors reply to a domain that matches your portfolio, and having commissions arrive at a working address rather than a personal inbox makes handing over files less messy.
