ArtSites Updates
Along the lines of this "holiday workout", here's a great wine infographic to help you find the perfect wine! (Or, as in my case, better understand why I like certain wines ;-)
Cheers! Salud! Santé! Salute!
Cin Cin! Saude! Zum Wohl!

As an artist, do your business cards really convey your artistic abilities? Here are two examples: Handcolored Business Cards and Watercolored Business Cards that show hand-painted business cards. While hand-painted cards may not be specifically for you, think about how you can share "samples" of your works (both visually and tactilely) and make your business cards truly memorable!

We've had several requests to offer our workshops ONLINE and have recently found a service that we hope will make this possible and easy for you. We're offering the following 3 FREE online workshops in the coming weeks:
(Please forward this session to any artist or crafts friends / colleagues who may be interested in a getting started with ArtSites and who would like more information about ArtSites.)
They are all FREE, and we'd simply like to know how many people wil be attending. Once again, these workshops are completely ONLINE. So, you only have to sit in front of your computer / laptop and tune in! ;-)
Geoff and I are pleased to announce a new full-service, Quick Start Add-on for $50! Here are the details:
With this new service, any artist can get an ArtSites trial website setup with images, bio, and/or resume for an additional $50. All that's required is sending us images (either via email or a CD via postal mail), and a bio and/or resume. We will then setup a trial website within 48 hours and show the artist how to update and manage his/her ArtSites trial website.
Once the artist is happy with ArtSites, they then pay the standard annual fee for their new website and domain name.
Based on feedback from our workshops, many artists said that this would be a service they would appreciate. So, if you know of anyone who has been putting off setting up their website because they are either overwhelmed by technology or don't have the time, there's now an even simpler option to get a brand new website setup and launched in 48 hours for a total of $150! (We think that's still a pretty good deal :-)
If you have any other questions or suggestions, we'd love to hear them!
We've been emailing with many of you over the years, and recently, we thought it might be helpful to assist you more immediately. As a result, we now have a "Live Chat" feature that allows you to chat directly with us when you're having an issue.
To launch a Live Chat, simply click on the dark grey button in the lower right-hand side of your browser. It says 'Online - click here to chat' and it will launch a chat session with us (provided we're available). However, if we're not, it will send us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
We hope these Live Chats will allow us to answer your questions much more quickly and allow you to continue updating and managing your website without getting stuck.
As we've always said, we're here to support, assist and empower you! Please feel free to reach out whenever you have a question or issue!
One of the benefits of being a Canadian/American household is that we get to celebrate Thanksgiving twice a year!
As many now prepare for the US Thanksgiving, I (Rochelle) once again like to take stock of all the things I am grateful for. Today (and most days :-), I am incredibly thankful for:
- My phenomenal husband, life and business partner, best friend and muse - Geoffrey Meredith
- Our amazing and supportive family and friends
- Our growing ArtSites business, full of creative and passionate artists
- Our health
- A world full of beauty and possibilities!
So, on this US Thanksgiving weekend, we especially want to thank YOU for:
- your art,
- your continued support of ArtSites, and
- for being part of the ArtSites family!
Words simply cannot express how much you mean to us!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Geoff and Rochelle
Today, Geoff and I wanted to share and celebrate a major milestone with you:
We signed up our 500th artist! - Malcolm ArmstrongMalcolm was a long-time mariner and is now an accomplished Marine Artist. The history he shares about the vessels he paints and the energy with which he presents them are simply magnificent.
(Malcolm was also at our Pender Island Workshop :-)
Geoff and I are SO thrilled and happy to be empowering artists like you as you share your amazing art with the world! As I've been saying at all of our recent workshops:
The world needs more art!
Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
