I’m not just an artist, I’m also a tech geek and entrepreneur. Since April 2024, I and a small team of webapp engineers have been working on https://imagecraft.art, a platform for galleries and social media.
It’s free to sign up, and you can create galleries easily by tagging your images with keywords. Best of all, you can point a personal domain, e.g. https://richardmanphoto.com to the site, and it will maintain your brand. You can customize the site with your own profile pages, banner, logo, and much more.
Here’s an example running three different “personalities”: the ImageCraft.ART generic site, richardmanphoto.com as a test site, and https://edithpaipetnamias.art, our first client.
The cost for hosting a personal domain site is just $12 a month, or $120 a year, significantly less expensive than other gallery builder site, and easier to use. Check it out when you have a chance.
