There was time when every one said you must have a website! In this age of social media, online galleries, YouTube, teaching platforms and so on,  do we as Artists still need our own website? In this episode, Peter and Tom discuss whether websites are still relevant, some good practice and some pitfalls to avoid. There are many different ways a website can be used but essentially, it is your Artist's shop window.  If we want to be clean and professional then the website must align with this; if we are more informal, then our website should align with this instead.A website can be many different things, so be clear what you want and need from one and with so many simple and budget friendly options to use, there’s not really a reason not to have one.
