Art Gallery Website Design That Lets the Art Speak
We design and build websites and online stores for galleries, artists and creative businesses: beautiful image-led layouts, exhibition pages, collector enquiries and secure sales of originals and prints.
Working with galleries and artists in the US · Canada · UK · Europe
Quick answer
Upstack Web provides art gallery website design and online stores for art galleries, artists and creative businesses in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe: image-led portfolio sites, exhibition and artist pages, artwork catalogues with enquiry or purchase options, online stores for originals and prints on Shopify or WooCommerce, and simple inventory tools that keep the website and gallery records in sync.
A gallery website has two jobs that can pull in opposite directions: it must present work beautifully, and it must make enquiring or buying easy. Many sites manage one but not the other.
We design around both: large, fast-loading images, calm layouts that respect the work, and clear routes to enquire, reserve or buy. Behind the scenes, artwork records, availability and pricing stay in one place, so the website is always current.

Frequently Asked Questions
Artist pages, an artwork catalogue with details and availability, current and past exhibitions, an easy enquiry or purchase option, visit information and a newsletter sign-up.
Many do, especially prints and editions. Originals often use "price on request" with an enquiry form. Your own store keeps fees lower and collector relationships yours.
Shopify is simpler to run; WooCommerce gives more control and suits content-rich gallery sites. We recommend based on your catalogue and team.
We serve modern formats, resize images for each screen and lazy-load images below the fold, so pages stay fast without visible quality loss.
