Aftosa Invites You To Share Your Art With The World

RICHMOND, California — Aftosa officially unveiled Aftosa WebHosting, a breakthrough service allowing artists to create and maintain their own website, and thereby expand their global exposure. Aftosa WebHosting provides artists with a central hub to showcase their works, while seamlessly streamlining marketing and promotional efforts. Aftosa WebHosting creates an ideal forum to keep art enthusiasts, buyers, friends and family up-to-date on your latest artwork and upcoming events.

"Aftosa WebHosting was created out of huge demand from artists and creative professionals for a low-priced alternative to custom websites created by expensive firms, which often cost thousands of dollars and yield substandard results," said Arnie Bernstein, President of Aftosa. "Due to Aftosa WebHosting’s superior design and navigation, easy to use control tool, and dependable technical support, coupled with a low monthly cost, we already far outperform the competition, to the advantage of our members."

With Aftosa WebHosting, artists need not worry over the fine print; with no complicated commission schemes or rights restrictions, Aftosa WebHosting ventures to partner with artists by offering rights protection and guaranteeing that any sales resulting from an Aftosa WebHosting website go entirely to the artist.

How It Works
Aftosa WebHosting websites are created immediately upon completion of membership signup, and consist of six main sections: the Home page, the Gallery page, the Contact page, the About page, the Custom page, and the Guestbook.

  • The Home page welcomes site visitors and entices them to delve deeper.
  • The Gallery page displays the artwork (including specs and pricing) within an attractive visual framework of your choice.
  • The Contact page enables visitors to get in touch with the artist quickly and directly.
  • The About page displays the artist statement, exhibition listings, gallery representation and press coverage.
  • The Custom page allows the artist to add a custom page to their website, which can include anything from additional pricing information to the latest news or events.
  • The Guestbook creates a forum for visitors to the website to leave comments for the artist.

Aftosa WebHosting uses MyAssistant, a control tool which allows the artist to quickly and easily update their website - no need to understand complicated computer language. MyAssistant also offers extensive online support, including detailed “Getting Started” directives, step-by-step instructional videos and a toll-free customer support hotline.

Pricing and Availability
Aftosa WebHosting and MyAssistant are both part of the Aftosa WebHosting membership program, which costs just $14.95 per month. To begin the sign up process, visit www.aftosawebhosting.com and click the sign up button to enjoy your first 30 days free!
