| Positives | affordable, high quality, easy to update.. | high quality | affordable | some artist stables will market your work | very affordable once / if you master the process |
| Downside | not very affordable | quality depends on the skill / dedication of your friend | your work is hard to find, your site looks like everyone else's.. | huge time commitment | |
| Summary | FineArtPost scores very high in all areas | The more you update the higher the cost. |
If your friend is very skilled then you are lucky. Stick with them. | A lot of artist stable sites are really a waste of time and money. | It is pretty easy to get bogged down in the process of learning to create a site. |
