Questions
You should know…
What does Easel cost?
Provisioning and hosting an Easel site is completely free. You should expect to pay around $20 a year at max for a custom domain, if you aren't already.
What accounts do I need?
You'll need to create a free GitHub and Netlify account to provision an Easel site. GitHub hosts the code for your Easel site, while Netlify serves it as a website.
What prior coding knowledge do I need?
None! Easel uses a simple sitebuilder, and you'll never need to interact with the code that makes your site work.
Can I use a custom domain?
Absolutely! Custom domains are free with Netlify.
What kind of work can I show?
Anything visual! Easel is built around image galleries, so it's a great fit for illustrators, photographers, painters, designers, and more.
Can I change how my site looks?
Yes! You can adjust colors, fonts, and layout right from the sitebuilder, no code required.
Who owns my site and content?
You do, fully. Your site lives on your own GitHub and Netlify accounts, so it stays online whether or not you keep using Easel.
