FREE ARTIST WEB SITE TEMPLATE |
We have designed a software solution called “Quicklink”
which is embedded into Masterpiece Artist. We will configure your
software so that automatically connects your computer to a world-class,
Microsoft SQL-powered website. This one-of-a-kind connection
will allow you to add artwork to Masterpiece Artist, and, by clicking
the “Upgrade My Website” button, will automatically
display the information on your website (containing title, subject,
medium, dimensions, price, multiple images of the piece, etc.)
When you sell a piece of art, the website will either remove
the listing entirely, or mark it as “sold” and eventually
remove it. Of course, you control which pieces are shown on
your website and which are not; price or no price, web price
or retail. We have designed Masterpiece Artist Business Software
to be incredibly easy to use. Ultimately, Masterpiece Artist will
help to organize your business so you can focus on your passion—creating
art!

How to add a Contact in Masterpiece Artist
|
|
The
contact function captures information that allows you to easily
locate your customers, art galleries, suppliers; track key information
associated with each; and communicate with them as desired.
The system will automatically relate each aspect of your operation.
For example, when a sale is made, the software will automatically
update your customer's information, sales and artwork databases
(among others) without any additional work. This means there
is no need for you to enter information more than once.

dealers, galleries, customers, collectors, framers, etc. Even
if each contact has many different addresses - home, and office,

If you're a professional artist, you know how damaging to your
artwork it is to be worried about your art business. Concentration
is essential to an artist - certain stages of the creative process
require single-minded focus on the task in hand. When you’re
really in the zone, you experience ‘creative flow’
– the ‘almost automatic, effortless, yet highly focused
state of consciousness’ Interruptions, multi-tasking and
the anxiety that comes from trying to juggle multiple commitments
– these are in danger of eroding the focused concentration
that is vital for your creativity.
If you’re worried about the effect
of all those interruptions, frustrations and distractions on your
creative work, this software is for you. Masterpiece Artist Software
was developed for you, the individual artist so you can maintain
your creative focus under pressure, and manage the business of
your artwork so that it informs and stimulates your creativity
instead of drowning it out.
And that means being organized.
Organization, structure, discipline and habit
– these often seen as threats to creativity.
Being able to know where your artwork is
or going, knowing who your clients are, having a constantly up
to date website, who owes you money, will not only create you
more time but will assist you in selling more. You need Masterpiece
Artist, in fact, you needed six months ago.
