This first one here is the home page. Because you will be able to vote for artwork on the site (who would have guessed?), the home page displays the top voted pieces.As well as the top voted art, the homepage will display the most recently added artworks.
Below each picture is some brief info about each artwork: the artist, the title, and the price of each piece.
Also, in the bottom right hand corner of each image is a small 'thumb'. That's where you do the voting. You can vote for as many pieces as you like, but only once. That thumb turns into a tick once you've voted for something.
The right hand side-bar is where you can login or signup, display your favourite art that's on the site, and read the latest news about ivoteforart.com
You can click on each piece and you'll be taken through to individual art pages - with more details about each piece, as shown here on the right.On these pages, you can buy the artwork, add a comment or review about it, and of course you can add you vote here too.
So, as you can see - it's starting to take shape. I must say that the whole process has taken me a lot longer than I expected ... but it's very close now to being ready to launch.
The 'Sell' area on the top navigation bar, and panel towards the bottom of each page, is where artists can submit their work to be considered for the site. But "I vote for art' isn't going to be a free-for-all like etsy is. We'll only be adding work that we consider to be of a high standard.
I hope you like the look of it ... but either way would be very interested in hearing your feedback about it. This is only version 1, and I'm sure that plenty of things will change in the months (and hopefully years) to come.
