How should an artist's website look to effectively showcase and sell their work?

Your website should mimic the paradigm of an art gallery or museum: minimalist design, monochromatic walls (usually white), art prominently displayed with proper lighting, clean presentation, and clear pricing. Avoid cluttering the site with excessive colors, fonts, slideshows, or walls of text. The art should be the focal point, with prices listed and a simple checkout process. The goal is to evoke the same professional response someone would have walking into a physical gallery—making it immediately clear the art is for sale and easy to purchase.
