How it works
Add a work, change a price, mark something sold, in a Google Sheet you already know how to use.
That’s the whole job. No builder, no dashboard, no developer.
Coming soon: self-publishing. Save your sheet and the site updates itself. No email needed, no waiting.
Send images straight from your phone or camera, any format, any size. Every visitor gets a fast, crisp version. You never resize or convert anything.
When a collector searches your name, you come up. Each painting gets its own page, written so Google can find it, and new work is search-ready the moment it’s published.
Paste any painting’s link into WhatsApp or Instagram and the artwork itself appears as the preview, with title and details included.
Composed like an exhibition, hosted on fast global servers, kept online and up to date. Nothing for you to maintain, nothing to break.
Templates
Click on any of the templates to try different fonts and colour palettes inside the Personalise panel. Find the look that works for you. More combinations are on the way.
Warm, serif, classic. A quiet gallery feel for figurative and traditional work.
Open
Pure white, modern, side navigation. The room disappears, the art stays.
Open
Dark, dramatic, organised in series. Made for a career’s worth of work.
Open
Every template runs on the same system with different settings. Typography, colour, layout and tone are tuned per artist. Yours won’t look like anyone else’s.
The invisible part
Big, unoptimised images are why most artist sites feel slow. Saora converts every photo automatically, same painting, a fraction of the weight.
11.8s still loading on 4G…
0.4s done, before your visitor blinks
Simulation: typical timing for an unoptimised 8 MB image on a 4G connection, same painting both sides. Slow sites lose visitors and rank lower on Google.

The process
Start by picking the look that suits your work. Three templates today, with more being added. You can switch to a different one once a year, free.
We send you a Google Sheet: title, year, medium, size, price for each work. Your photos go into a shared folder, named so the sheet points to the right piece. No software to install.
Your sheet and images become your finished site: live, optimised for every device, composed like an exhibition. New work later? Update the sheet, email us, and it’s live within days.
Want your-name.com? We connect it for you. Already have a domain, or an email address on it? Keep both. Nothing about them changes.
“Superb work. I love the design and all my friends love it.”

Still studying? Setup is free, then €200 / year.

You own the domain, registered in your name, and all your content: every image, price and word lives in your spreadsheet and image folder, and it comes with you wherever you go. The template itself is part of the Saora service: we design, build and maintain it. If you ever leave, you keep your work and your domain. Nothing of yours is ever locked in.
Type a title and a price into a spreadsheet row, drop a photo in the shared folder, and email us. We build the page and put it live. That’s the whole job, no software to learn.
