Join Drawn In, Manchester’s meet-up for illustrators, for this online workshop exploring how to make your website work for you as a freelance illustrator.
**Is your website working as hard as it could be to help you get commissions?**
Your website is more than an online portfolio! It can work as your most powerful promotional tool as a freelance illustrator.
Join Drawn In’s Jordan Yates, from AntiGravity, for a closer look into how illustrators can build, shape, and optimize their websites to attract clients, showcase work effectively, and thrive in a competitive digital landscape.
In this session, you’ll explore:
✅ Why having a website still matters in the age of social media
✅ What makes a website great — design, clarity, content, and more
✅ The current trends, challenges, and opportunities for creatives online
✅ Smart ways to drive traffic to your site — including SEO for artists and the role of AI
✅ How to turn a website visitor into a paying client
✅ Real talk: Who’s actually getting commissions through their site?
👀 PLUS: Live Website Critiques!
If you would like a live critique of your website, Jordan with input from Nicola Mullen from Brand Warrior, will be live reviewing three web-sites as part of the session. Interested? DM @drawninmcr for your chance to get expert feedback.
💫 PLUS: Chat to other illustrators!
As part of the session, we’ll break-out into small groups where you can connect and chat to other illustrators to share thoughts and opinions :)
Whether you're just starting out or want to level up your online presence, this session will give you the insights you need to make your website a powerful part of your freelance toolkit.
