Choosing the Right Website Structure for Your Art Practice

After my first page was live, I felt something unexpected. Relief. Not because everything was finished—but because something finally existed. And then, almost immediately, a new question crept in: “What pages am I supposed to have?”

I started noticing other artists’ websites again. So many pages. So many menus. So many options. For a moment, I felt that familiar pull—to add more, explain more, prove more. But this time, I paused. I Asked a Different Question Instead of asking what a proper website should look like, I asked something quieter: What does my art actually need right now? Not in five years. Not for an imaginary audience. Right now. That question changed the entire structure of my site.

So I opened Systeme.io again and looked at my pages with fresh eyes.

And I started removing things.

The Structure I Chose (Simple, on Purpose)

In the end, I kept only what felt essential.

My website had a homepage – a warm welcome, a few art pages, about me page and a way to stay in touch – an email signup

That was it.

No hidden pages, no pressure to explain everything. And something interesting happened. The site felt calmer. So did I. A simple structure answers those questions without overwhelming them. Systeme.io made this easy—because I could duplicate pages when needed, hide pages I wasn’t ready to share and rearrange things without breaking anything.

Here’s something I wish someone had told me earlier:

Your website is allowed to be unfinished. Mine didn’t start with courses.
Or books. Or automated systems. Those came later—naturally—when my work and confidence grew. Systeme.io didn’t force growth. It allowed it.

I added pages only when they felt necessary—not because I thought I should.
