Since 2001, our core business has been, and still is, selling art through Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ, and online at xanadugallery.com. Before that, owner and founder of Xanadu Jason Horejs, worked for one of the largest galleries in the Western United States, a bronze foundry, and grew up the son of professional painter John Horejs. Candidly speaking,

· We know artists.
· We know art collectors.
· We know gallery owners.
· We know web design.

But most importantly, we know the power the internet has given you to promote your art to the world. We help you harness that power through Xanadu Studios online and through our custom websites for artists. We work with webdesign experts to offer you two ways to gain exposure for your artwork online.

Xanadu’s Custom Websites for Artists

Brazilian artist Silvana Ravena challenged us to create a dynamic site that would show her encaustic and fiber art in a clean, modern, simple format. We created a dynamic site that makes it easy for her to upload new work, update information and keep in contact with her collectors. Visit Silvana's site to see an example of what Xanadu WebDesign can do for you.

With a custom website you enjoy a professional, artistic presence on the web. We design clean-looking websites that are easy to navigate and simple for you to keep up-to-date. Our web designers will help put you on the web economically while creating a site that shows your work to its best effect. In addition to xanadugallery.com, our web designers have built professional websites for artists from around the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information do I need to get started ?
Getting started is easy. Simply fill out the form below and you will be on your way to your own professional site on the web. You do not need to have all of the content of your site to get started as you will be able to upload the information to the site yourself.
 
How long will it take to build my site?
Because we build only custom sites, please allow 3-4 weeks from the time we start your site.
Will I be able to add artwork to the site myself?
Yes! One of the great frustrations when working with web designers is sending an image off to them to upload to your site, and then waiting for the artwork to appear online. We design sites that put you in control. All you need is a digital image of the artwork and you can instantly add the image directly to the site (no technical expertise required).
 
What technical skills and knowledge will I need to maintain my site?
We take pride in creating sites that require very minimal technical skills. You will need to know a few things in order to effectively maintain your site:
1. How to take good quality digital images of your work. Figure out the best lighting and location to shoot your work.
2. How to crop and size your photos using a simple photo editing software like Photoshop, Elements, or the photo editing software that came with your computer.
3. How to save and organize the images to simplify the uploading process.
 
Can I incorporate e-commerce to my site?
Yes! Xanadu can offer you a wide range of e-commerce solutions so that you can begin selling your work to the world through your website. Please note that an additional fee will apply for e-commerce capability.
 
Do you offer web-hosting?
Xanadu offers reliable, high-speed hosting for your site. Our websites employ ASP technology and are database driven which will give you the flexibility you need to easily update and maintain your site.
 
Can I continue to use my current hosting company?
Of course you can! Because each hosting company is different and has different technical specification and set-up processes there is considerably more time spent on set up and therefore an extra fee will be assessed.
