H&H — 14 sites to browse

Why it works: Radically simple. A five-word menu (Artwork / Shop / Blog / About / Contact), lots of white space, and color pulled straight from her paintings. Her blog is a clean dated list — no clutter.

Why it works: Restrained layout, a small circular logo, a warm artist-portrait hero, and a neutral palette that makes her colorful florals pop. The shop is a tidy filterable grid (Prints / Apparel / etc.).

Why it works: The gallery IS the shop — each painting shows its title and price, “Sold” flags create real scarcity, and tiered pricing (originals → prints → “Pay What You Can”) gives every visitor a way in.

Why it works: The site’s colors match her paintings — the brand bleeds off the canvas onto the screen. Big hero imagery, and a blog with featured images + visual category cards that feel curated, not like a directory.

Why it works: Reads like a beautiful magazine — commerce-heavy but still feels like a gallery. Her journal is genuinely active, with work-in-progress photos and life-themed categories that build a loyal readership.

Why it works: The closest tech match to what we’ll build for you. A working-studio diary blog (exhibitions, collector stories), high-res paintings with prices and a cart, every offering named in the menu.

Why it works: Themed editorial collections on the homepage, price shown above each title (buyer-first), and clickable price brackets (Under $500 / $500–1k…) that make shopping effortless.

Why it works: The most buyer-friendly filters anywhere — including size by your wall dimensions — and artist profiles front-and-center with stats and reviews as social proof.

Why it works: Editorial and shopping carry equal weight — “handpicked by our curator” framing turns browsing into discovery, not just shopping.

Why it works: Sells by mood, not category — “Works for quiet rooms,” “Bold statement pieces.” Installment options and free-returns are shown right on the product, removing hesitation.

Why it works: Paintings shown hung in real rooms — buyers picture the art in their home before they see it as a product. Story-based testimonials woven through.

Why it works: Theme-first homepage, named collections each with a one-line story, and a soft “make an offer / message me” path that opens a door for hesitant buyers.

Why it works: The gold standard for an art blog. A single clean column with full-width images stacked top to bottom — a gallery experience inside a post, no plugin needed.

Why it works: Minimal, image-led, with all-caps badges (“ARTIST SPOTLIGHT”) above each post and the artist’s own words pulled into an italic block — small touches that feel like a real publication.
