A FASO alternative for artists

See your website before you pay

It’s built the moment you open it, from the works you’ve uploaded, or from two sample paintings until you upload your own. No account needed to look.

At a glance

	FASO	Situ.art
What it is	An art marketing platform: artist websites with a store, blog, newsletter and art contests.	An artist’s website made from the works already in your Situ.art library. Each work is shown whole, then in a room at its true size, with a person for scale and a walk-through video.
Price to start	Intro $15 a month ($144 a year), Silver $25 ($228), Gold $30 ($312), Platinum $45 ($480). A domain is $14 a year.	£9 a month on the Artist plan, or £7.50 a month billed yearly (£90). Room mockups, AI images and videos are included.
Free plan	None. A 30-day trial.	Build and preview it free, without an account. Making it public needs the Artist plan.
Setting it up	Pick a template and colours, upload each work with its details, and build your pages.	Nothing to design. Add your name, one line about you and an About; every work you upload appears on it.
How many works	40 images on Intro, 100 on Silver, unlimited on Gold and Platinum; extra images $0.25 a month each.	Up to 30 on Artist; as many as you like on Pro (£29 a month).
Your work in a room	View in Room on Silver and up: a visitor picks a room and a wall colour, sized from your dimensions. Not on Intro.	Every work hangs at its true size in a room, with a person in view for scale, plus a walk-through video in a gallery. Made for you, from the work’s size.
Details with each work	Title, medium, dimensions, year, price and sold.	Title, year, medium, size in cm and inches, framed size, signed, and Available or Sold.
Your own domain	Yes, $14 a year through FASO.	No. Your website is at situ.art/en/yourname.
Selling	Stripe and PayPal checkout, and prints on demand. Card sales through its Stripe checkout carry a FASO fee: 10% on Intro, 3% Silver, 2% Gold, 1% Platinum.	No shop or checkout. Each work can be marked Available or Sold.
Contact	A contact form, a blog and a newsletter (50 to 2,500 subscribers by plan).	Inquire on every work emails you, with your address kept private. Plus your link on every page: your own site, Instagram or email.
AI training crawlers	Blocked by default: FASO blocks identifiable automated traffic.	Kept out, with nothing to switch on: AI training crawlers are told not to read your pages. Search engines still can.
Editing on a phone	Its app was withdrawn; images can be uploaded from a phone’s browser.	Yes. All of it is edited in the browser, on a phone as on a computer.
Made for	Working artists who sell their own work.	Artists who want a site that looks like a gallery’s and keeps itself up to date.

Where Situ.art is stronger

Nothing to design. Upload a photo of a work and its size, and it’s on your website. On FASO you upload each work into its control panel and build the pages.
Every work in a room at its true size on the one plan, for £9 a month. FASO’s View in Room starts at Silver, $25 a month.
More than a room: a person in view for scale, a close-up when your photo is large enough, and a walk-through video of the work in a gallery.
Nothing taken from a sale: buyers reach you through Inquire and pay you directly. FASO takes up to 10% of card sales through its checkout, depending on the plan.
Edit all of it on your phone. FASO withdrew its app.
Room mockups come with it: the same plan gives you 20 AI images and 2 AI videos a month and unlimited downloads for Instagram and listings.

Which should you choose?

Choose FASO if you want to sell through your site, send a newsletter and enter art contests from one account. Choose Situ.art if you want every work shown in a room at its true size, with a person for scale and a walk-through video, on a site that builds itself, for less.

Questions

Does FASO show art in a room?: Yes, on Silver ($25 a month) and up: a visitor clicks ROOM on a work and picks a room and a wall colour. A Situ.art website shows every work in a room at its true size on its one plan, with a person for scale and a walk-through video too.
Is there a cheaper alternative to FASO?: Situ.art is £9 a month, or £7.50 billed yearly, with every work shown in a room. It has no shop, newsletter or own domain; FASO has all three, from $15 a month.
Do I need photos of my work in rooms?: No. Upload a straight photo of the work and its size, and Situ.art hangs it in a room at that size, beside a person for scale, and walks a camera past it in a gallery. The work itself is never changed.
Can I use my own domain?: Not yet. Your website is at situ.art/en/yourname. Put that link in your Instagram bio, your email signature or your own domain’s homepage.
How much does a Situ.art website cost?: £9 a month on the Artist plan, or £90 a year (£7.50 a month). The same plan makes your room mockups: 20 AI images and 2 AI videos a month, up to 30 works, and unlimited downloads. You can build and preview the website free first.
