Web Design for Creatives & Artists
Your work is the point. We build websites that frame it, present it, and sell it -- without getting in the way.
Creative professionals have a unique problem: their website is both a tool and a piece of work in itself. A photographer's site reflects their eye. A gallery's site sets the tone for the viewing experience. An artist's portfolio is a curatorial statement. Template sites -- even the "minimal" ones marketed at creatives -- impose someone else's design language on your work. They constrain your layout options, slow your page loads with bloated code, and make your portfolio look like every other creative's on the same platform. If your entire practice is about original vision, why would you present it through a framework designed to make everyone look the same?
We build portfolio sites and gallery platforms from scratch, designed entirely around the work they present. For photographers, that means image-first layouts with colour-accurate rendering, lazy-loaded galleries that maintain quality at every resolution, and project pages that tell the story behind the shoot. For visual artists, it means exhibition archives, artist statements, CV pages that follow gallery submission standards, and online viewing rooms that replicate the intimacy of seeing work in person. For galleries and collectives, it means artist rosters, exhibition calendars, press sections, and collector enquiry systems. Every site we build for a creative professional answers the same question: does the technology serve the art, or does it compete with it?
The commerce side of creative work is delicate. Selling art online shouldn't feel like shopping on Amazon. We build purchase flows that maintain the premium feel of your work -- discreet pricing, private enquiry options for high-value pieces, edition tracking for limited prints, and integration with print-on-demand services for artists who want to offer reproductions without handling fulfilment. For photographers, we build client galleries with proofing, favouriting, and download capabilities. For designers, we create case study presentations that win new commissions. And everything is built on a content management system that lets you add new work, update exhibitions, and manage your catalogue without calling a developer. Your website should be the easiest part of running a creative practice, not the most frustrating.

Why creatives choose Jaunt
The work comes first
We design around your images, not the other way around. Proper colour management, responsive image rendering that preserves quality, and layouts that let the work breathe. No competing design elements, no visual clutter -- just your work, presented beautifully.
Not another template
Squarespace and Format sites all look the same. Hand-coded means your site is uniquely yours -- the typography, the spacing, the interaction design, everything tailored to your specific body of work and creative identity.
Art meets commerce
Selling creative work online requires a different approach than selling products. We build purchasing experiences that feel considered and premium -- private viewing rooms, enquiry-based pricing, and edition management that maintains the value of limited works.
Frequently asked questions
We pay close attention to colour accuracy in our image processing. Images are served in modern formats like WebP with sRGB colour profiles to ensure consistency across browsers and devices. While screen calibration varies between devices, we ensure your images look as close to your intended output as the web allows.
Yes. Every portfolio site we build includes a content management system where you can add new projects, reorder work, update descriptions, and manage your catalogue. Upload images, write captions, arrange series -- all without touching code. We set it up, train you on it, and you're independent from day one.
We do. Password-protected client galleries with favouriting, commenting, and download capabilities. Clients can select their preferred images, and you can manage delivery all from your site. It's a more professional experience than sending a Dropbox link, and it keeps clients within your brand ecosystem.
Absolutely. We build art sales functionality that ranges from simple enquiry forms for originals to full e-commerce with edition tracking for limited prints. We can integrate with print-on-demand services like Printful or WHCC so orders are fulfilled automatically, or build custom checkout flows for direct sales with manual fulfilment.
Yes -- and for galleries and exhibiting artists, these pages are essential. We build chronological exhibition archives with installation views, press release archives, and structured CV pages that follow gallery and museum submission standards. These pages serve both as a public record and a professional tool for applications and submissions.
Through responsive image delivery. We serve different image sizes based on the viewer's screen -- a phone gets a smaller file than a 4K monitor, but both see a sharp image. Combined with lazy loading (images load as you scroll to them) and modern compression formats, galleries load fast without compromising on visual quality.
