New Shopping Cart for your website coming

We are nearly finished building a shopping cart facility for artHIVES websites. This will allow buyers to purchase from artists with credit card or Paypal. Artists will be able to sell directly from any of their galleries or you will be able to set up their own web store to display just those items which are available to purchase. This new feature will come at no extra cost to subscriptions and best of all there will be 0% commission on sales. Standby for further details in the coming weeks.

New Website soon

At artHIVES have redesigned and rebuilt the artHIVES website. The new look site is a beautiful thing, a visual feast for visitors. The main focus of the new design is artists. We want to send more visitors to artits websites which we all hope will result in more fans, more opportunities and more sales.  The new site is due for release on 19 November 2014

Content is King

The trend for short, snappy content has begun to weaken and the time to invest in information-rich long-form content has come. Allowing you to drill deeply into the benefits of your products and services, long-form content is excellent for providing customers with engaging information and in-depth answers to their questions. However, it is vitally important that your content is accessible. Optimise your content for mobile, break text into readable chunks and consider the potential benefits of long-form videos and podcasts.
