... provide professional business website tools specifically built with the artist, art gallery and arts organization in mind, at a fraction of the cost for custom development.
The biggest challenge of maintaing an arts website lies in keeping the content current with the ever evolving life of a creative professional. Art work changes, schedules are updated with new shows, events, classes and public appearances, and yet many existing artist websites still show what the artist was making in 1998.
The content management tools incorporated into Neon Trail websites make it simple to update the content of your website with the latest news, information, calendar items and images of your artwork. They provide tools to manage and send emails to your contact list. They provide the ability to sell artwork online, where appropriate. They provide the opportunity to keep your customers, clients, galleries, friends and family up to date with your arts business.
With a Neon Trail website, your content is managed through an online database system managed through your web browser, rather than through individual pages and images meticulously hand crafted using an HTML page editor on your computer then cryptically uploaded to the web server via an arcand FTP program.
In addition to site building features, Neon Trail provides tools for marketing your website via search engine listings and featured listings on the growing Neon Trail global arts community website.
Neon Trail is a work in progress (though what web site isn't?)... The toolchest will continue to grow from its current introductory state to incorporate all the features described above and more. We will listen to feedback from all affiliate site owners and site visitors, and as the feature set evolves, the new tools will automatically be made available to your website, thus increasing the value of your investment over time.
