Should I create a testimonials or past-commissions page to show that I've done commission work before?

Yes, showcasing past commissions is an excellent idea and builds trust. Ideally, display these testimonials directly on your commissions page if possible, since it keeps everything related to one topic together. Include photos of past commissioned work—especially images of the art installed in the customer’s space, or photos with happy customers (with their permission). You can also screenshot positive messages or reviews from clients, but blur out personal details like names and phone numbers. If you can’t embed testimonials on the commissions page itself, create a separate ‘Testimonials’ or ‘Experience’ page and link to it. Social proof from previous commission clients reassures new customers that you deliver quality work.
