For the Artist
I visit SO MANY websites out there that belong to artists and they always seem to use the exact same techniques to sell their works. Some (most) people don't have the time to sit and watch flash presentations. Most interior designers use keywords to find what they're looking for. Let's rethink this.
Go visit All Posters and Fine Art Marketplace and look at the simplistic approach! Make it easy to find that perfect print by using keywords such as black and white, vibrant red (or any color), floral, landscape, nature, just to name a few.
The key here is to associate a file (usually a JPG) to keywords in a database. The database should contain the file name (so that the image will load), the title, five to ten keywords (each in its own separate field), and the starting price. It can also have a purchase option but that should be saved for the image's page as very few would buy the piece until they saw it a bit bigger.
