XIDIST / WEB DESIGN FOR ARTISTS

A home for
what you make.

You make the work. I’ll help it find its own place on the internet.

I’m Kiki, a Minneapolis creative and programmer. I make personal websites for photographers, musicians, artists and friends, with a look that feels like you.

02 / SCOPE & SLIDING SCALE

Start small. Make it yours.

Complexity sets the starting quote.
Your budget helps shape a workable plan.

01

A simple home

A compact landing page with your bio, selected work, social links and a way to get in touch.

From $100One-time build
02

Room for your work

A simple portfolio with a curated gallery, more content and a more detailed visual treatment.

From $150One-time build
03

Something more involved

Multiple pages, shops, booking systems, custom interactions or other integrations. We’ll scope and price it together.

Custom quoteBased on complexity

Keep it current

$50 for one agreed batch of routine changes, such as swapping photos, updating your bio or adding new links. New pages, features and redesigns are quoted separately.

$50 / batchUpdates as needed

Meet people where they’re at.

These are starting points, not a test of what your art is worth. If the standard rate is out of reach, tell me what feels possible. We can discuss a reduced fee, a smaller scope or a phased build. Sliding-scale requests are welcome for both new sites and updates; we’ll agree on the amount before any work begins.

All prices are in USD. The final quote covers the agreed scope and revisions. Domain registration, paid hosting and third-party subscriptions are separate when needed, with any ongoing costs agreed in advance.

03 / CONSULTATION & DEMO

Get a feel for your site.

A small first step, with time to look around.
Your deposit goes toward the finished build.

The gallery brings together Anna’s and Serena’s public sites, JUUGO’s portfolio preview and Simaek’s artist website demo as examples of the look, feel and scale we can discuss. For your own site, we’ll agree on a focused demo, then review it together.

Deposit
$50Paid after we agree on the scope and before custom demo work begins. Credited toward your final build price.
Consultation & demo walkthrough
30 minutesOne session to talk through your goals, review the demo and gather feedback.
Public preview period
7 daysWith your approval, I’ll share a public demo link you can try and send to others. Your review period starts when that link is delivered.

The deposit is part of the total. A $100 build leaves $50 to pay; a $150 build leaves $100. We’ll confirm the balance and payment schedule for custom or sliding-scale quotes before you pay the deposit.

Demo delivery timing depends on the pages, content and features we agree on. More involved sites can have a longer walkthrough or preview period by agreement. Before the 7 days end, we’ll agree on launch, an extension or closing the demo.

04 / AFTER LAUNCH, TOO

One person to email.

I’m your point person for design, publishing and future changes. Send me your updates in one batch, and I’ll confirm the scope, fee and timing before I start.

  1. Tell me what you’re making. Share your work, a few references and a budget you’re comfortable with.
  2. Agree on the plan & deposit. We’ll put the scope, revisions, demo delivery date, payment schedule, hosting arrangement and source access or handoff in writing. The $50 deposit counts toward your build.
  3. Walk through your demo. We’ll review it in a 30-minute session, with a 7-day public preview once you approve sharing.
  4. Launch & stay in touch. We’ll confirm your final approval and agreed balance before launch. Come back to me when your work grows or changes.

A few clear expectations

Updates & payment

Update work can be paused while an agreed invoice is overdue. If money gets tight, get in touch so we can discuss the next step before more work is scheduled.

Managed hosting & a site pause

If I manage your hosting, any pause for nonpayment must be part of the terms we agreed to before work began. I’ll give written notice and time to resolve the invoice before a pause. The quote will explain hosting responsibility, any ongoing fees, and how service resumes.

Your work & future handoff

Your photographs, writing and artwork remain yours. We’ll agree on source access, hosting responsibilities and any future handoff before work begins, so you know how your site is maintained.

HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND?

Let’s give it a place.

A few sentences are enough. Tell me what you make, what you need and what budget feels comfortable. We’ll confirm the demo scope and $50 deposit before booking.
