Hans Rooseboom Art
Portfolio and online store for a Johannesburg fine artist — originals, commissions and prints.
R15,000 in sales — on roughly R0/month infrastructure.
A working fine artist needs to sell three very different things — one-of-one originals, commissions priced by conversation, and print-on-demand — without paying a hosted gallery-builder a monthly fee and a cut of every sale. The brief was to own the whole thing: the audience, the checkout and the data.
A custom hub: a gallery portfolio, an originals shop with secure Stripe and Payfast checkout, a commissions enquiry flow priced per conversation, and print-on-demand. Transactional email sends receipts and enquiry alerts automatically, and a built-in AI post generator with Pinterest scheduling lets the artist market without an agency. It runs on Vercel Hobby plus Supabase's free tier at roughly R0/month — deliberately leaving the whole budget for ads instead of tooling.
