An AI Website Builder for Artists Who Want to Sell Directly

Selling art online usually means splitting your presence across a few different places, an Instagram grid, maybe an Etsy shop, possibly a print-on-demand service, none of which is really "your" site under your own name. An AI website builder for artists fills a specific gap here: a central place that shows your work the way you want it shown, with buyers routed to wherever you're actually selling, rather than being one grid post among thousands on a platform you don't control.

Describing your work to Nova, for example "a website for a painter working in oil and mixed media, with a gallery, an about page, and links to buy prints," produces a site structured around that, with a live preview before you publish. Because the gallery and about sections are generated from your actual description, the starting draft already reflects your medium and style rather than a generic "artist portfolio" placeholder.

Worth being clear about scope: Nova builds the showcase site itself, but it isn't a print fulfillment service or a payment processor. If you sell prints or originals, you'll link out to wherever the actual transaction happens, a print-on-demand service, an Etsy listing, or a direct payment link, the same way most independent artists structure their online selling today. The site's job is to be the place that looks like it's actually yours and sends people to the right place to buy, not to replace the platforms handling fulfillment and payment.

FAQ

Can I sell directly through the Nova site itself?

Not directly through built-in checkout, Nova builds the showcase site; you'd link to wherever you actually process sales, like a print-on-demand service or a payment link.

How many pieces should I include in the gallery?

There's no fixed number, but a focused selection of your strongest, most representative work tends to serve visitors better than including everything you've ever made.

Can I update the gallery as I create new work?

Yes, you can go back and update the site with new pieces as your body of work grows, without rebuilding the whole site.

Describe your art to Nova and see a site built around your actual work, not a generic gallery template.
