Firstlight builds beautiful, professional websites for serious artists who are done looking amateur online — and done paying agency prices to fix it.
Artists we've worked with
Most artists fall into one of three traps — and none of them are your fault.
You asked a web agency. They quoted $4,000–$10,000 and wanted a six-week timeline. You passed.
You built something on Wix or Squarespace. It works, sort of. But it looks like every other artist's site and costs $28/month forever.
Galleries Google you. Collectors Google you. They find nothing — or worse, a Facebook page from 2018.
Every Firstlight site is designed from your artwork's palette, your voice, and your story — not a template someone else used last week.
Colors, typography, and layout pulled directly from your aesthetic — not a theme you picked from a dropdown.
Galleries and collectors browse on their phones. Your site looks right on every screen, every time.
YourName.com — not YourName.wixsite.com. Proper domain, proper hosting, no rental fees baked in.
Art-forward sites with heavy images often load slowly. Firstlight sites are optimized from the start — fast load, good SEO.
You get an email when a gallery or collector fills out your form. No leads lost in a plugin's spam folder.
When we're done, we walk you through everything. You understand what you own and how to update it — or we update it for you.
Phoenix, Arizona. Award-winning fiber artist whose work has shown at WHAM, the Gilbert Historical Museum, and SAQA's Sacred Threads exhibit.
Amy's site reflects her artistic voice — coastal palette pulled directly from her paintings, elegant typography that doesn't compete with the work, and a layout that lets the art breathe.
"Through her art, she invites viewers to find respite and renewal amid the chaos and demands of daily life."
One-time build fee. Then a flat monthly hosting rate. That's it — no upsells, no platform lock-in, no annual gotchas. Every client goes through Firstlight regardless of industry.
Clean, fast, professional. Everything you need to show up online.
More room, more features, built to grow with you.
Ecommerce, databases, automations — when the site needs to do real work.
Hosting is $29/month — SSL, backups, fast CDN. Cancel anytime. You always own your code.
When another artist finds Firstlight through you and signs up, you earn. No pitching required — your site does the talking. Every Firstlight site carries a small "Built with Firstlight" badge linked to your referral code automatically.
A small "Built with Firstlight" link in your footer carries your unique referral code.
A fellow artist sees your site, wonders who built it, clicks the badge. Your code travels with them.
When they become a Firstlight client, you receive 15% of their build fee — paid directly to you.
