Happy New Year! 2008 was another great year for ArtWanted.com - We wanted to take a minute and share with everyone a few significant items that happened in 2008...
- We had over 6,500 new artists join our site last year. This brought in new talent, new members to our community and more hits to everyone's portfolios.
- We improved our image policy and removed the monthly limit of only 3 images per month. Free account holders are now able to upload many more images to their accounts than before.
- In 2008, we had 400% (4x) more artwork sales than in 2007. This is a huge jump forward and many members benefitted this year from selling their artwork. This increase in sales is mostly due to the changes we made with the re-design of the site in July, which put more emphasis on sales throughout the website.
- As mentioned above, we changed the layout and design of our site in July to be more modern and improve the navigation of the site. This has resulted in more sales, a fresher look and less problems with users trying to find something on the website.
- Throughout the year, we had over 30 new features/upgrades added to our website. Some of the major ones were the artist groups pages, new print products, ArtWanted.com bank account, featured image gallery, bookmark/share feature and many more. Most of these new features came directly from member suggestions. We love your feedback and use it to create a better site for everyone.
2008 really was a great year for the members of ArtWanted.com and we have even bigger plans for 2009. This year it's our 10th anniversary! We have a lot of new features and improvements planned for this year to make ArtWanted.com it's best year ever. Thanks for your continued participation on our website and we look forward to another great year!
