Question
Hello and let me first say thanks!  I am starting my own online shop with a
company to put my artwork on items.  Now I need a web page and need to
know if it is better to do my own web page or join a existing site.  Found a
place called otherpeoplespixels that looked good but not sure which is best.  
Also not sure how to price.  I work with acrylic on canvas and most of my
pieces are 36by48, with smallest at22by28 and largest being 60by60.  Any
info you can give me would be great.  Thank you so much for your time.  Rob.

Answer
Hello Rob,

I would say do your own web page and get your own domain
name......I canīt recommend any website design product in particular....but find one that you can update yoursel.  FrontPage by microsoft is one that I am familiar.  Pricing is another matter....you have to figure your time,  materials, expenses, etc. so price accordingly.  You can always raise prices....but it is difficult to lower them.  See what others are asking....go to a few galleries and compare.  Also  check ones on line to see about pricing.

Best of luck,
dj murphy
