With new features and a fresh design, gallery members can now better showcase their inventory and programming to artnet's global audience of 31 million annual users. Over the course of the year, the artnet team met with clients from around the world to better understand what galleries want from their online presence today. Their insight was instrumental in shaping the strategy, key features, and interface of the new design. This initiative seeks to foreground the vision of gallerists while offering collectors the most immersive viewing experience possible. As collecting increasingly moves online, it is crucial to understand the current market so as to better serve both galleries and their clients. Visitors to the Gallery Network are able to make informed, confident decisions when purchasing artwork online. "This new interface has already been met with enthusiastic support from our member galleries," said Mary Lynn Buchanan, director of product, Gallery Network. "We're confident that our user base will find this new design to be an intuitive and enjoyable way to experience art." Highlights include: -Mobile and Discovery: With a newly responsive interface, browsing and submitting artwork inquiries is easier than ever. -artnet News Features: Editorial coverage is spotlighted with embedded headlines that appear each time the gallery is written up on artnet News. -New Exhibition and Fair Pages: Visitors can now explore fair booths or exhibitions with large-scale installation images, detailed artist biographies, artwork close-ups, and more. This new redesign represents the first step in many planned updates to come as artnet continues to expand the reach of one of its core products. It also comes shortly after artnet announced that the Galleries segment increased in revenue by 6% to $2.7 million in the first six months of 2018, as compared to the previous year. This increase resulted from strong demand for higher-tier membership plans. In 2017, the Gallery Portal, a content management system, was developed allowing Gallery Network members to better manage their own inventory. artnet is confident that demand for gallery memberships will continue to grow following this latest redesign.
