About

We are where art starts, but that's only the beginning. We are the movement for the liberation of creative expression. We believe that art is for everyone, and we're creating the cultural context for how it is created, discovered, and shared. Fella Founded in August 2000, DeviantArt is the largest online social network for artists and art enthusiasts, and a platform for emerging and established artists to exhibit, promote, and share their works with an enthusiastic, art-centric community. We have over 61 million registered members and attract over 45 million unique visitors per month. Our members — known as deviants — upload tens of thousands of original pieces of art every day, everything from painting and sculpture to digital art, pixel art, films, and anime. Artists love us because we are an inclusive and supportive community. We help them find their identity through self-expression. We provide the tools, resources, and exposure to enable them to become better artists.

About

Primer is an art database and client relationship manager (CRM) designed for galleries, artists and art collections to easily store and access artwork, contacts, transactions, and exhibitions. What makes Primer’s inventory particularly special? It provides a clear history of the work including anyone who has interacted with or even just reacted to the work. Seeing who did or almost did buy an artwork may suggest what to offer in the future. The Contacts section is more than just a Rolodex. It is a valuable bank of clients and potential clients waiting to become your next sale. The most successful dealers and artists are proactive. They expand their clients’ horizons and surprise them by predicting their next favorite artist or artwork. Highly effective professionals use Primer’s layouts, tools, and searches to leverage contact data into actionable insights for better business gains. Successfully conduct previews, offers, sales, consignments, and more.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • As a core plus member at $15.00 a month, they only take out 2.5% in fees on any subscriptions sold. Has a long time fan base.

Cons

  • Very bad customer service. Very bad interface and options in terms of laying out your offerings/content. Just one long page that a user must scroll through to see all the content. Does not allow you to break up your content into sub galleries within a subscription tier and if you are a member who puts up a lot of content, this is a problem. Does not allow you to upload HD videos to your subscriber areas - only 320x240 mpegs which is why retention is so low because nobody wants small, antiquated video formats. Often bogs down on it's own servers, making uploading sometimes impossible. Terrible customer service. Will not respond to you most of the time. Will ban you from the site, shot down your gallery without notice if someone complains about your work. Not consistent in what they will allow vs. what they won't. You can only load one piece at a time. This takes forever. Features designed to upsell, like "special downloads" that are supposed to allow larger files are next to impossible to set up and give you an error message 99% of the time.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Primer understands the art world and what I need to do to sell more artwork. So easy to make my documents and online viewing rooms look how I want them too. Customer support is incredible, so friendly and knowledgeable. I was very frustrated with the old programs I used, which were clunky and required lots of "work arounds." Grateful to have Primer.

Cons

  • It takes a couple days to learn how to use the software but they offer personal training sessions and a great help desk. The learning curve seemed very normal for an excellent program like this.
