What Webarto is
Webarto is a web platform for artists and makers that combines portfolio presentation with tools for shops, workshops, stories, and events. Users can add artwork images, materials, dimensions, and stories, then arrange pieces in separate galleries. Portfolio+ adds selling for originals, prints, and handmade products through a Webarto shop, with payments handled through the artist’s own Square Payments account. Artwork pages include built-in SEO, automatic sitemaps, and robots.txt, while plans list an SSL certificate. Essential costs £65 a year and uses a Webarto subdomain. Portfolio costs £125 a year with an own domain, 200 artworks, and 100 events and exhibitions. Portfolio+ costs £215 a year with an own domain, unlimited artworks, unlimited events and exhibitions, and art selling. Webarto offers a 7-day trial and a 30-minute one-to-one online demo. Newsletter sending requires a separate paid custom email service with an account-dependent allowance.
