Shopify charges $29/mo for a blank template — then $75–150/mo in apps to make it work for a gallery. Web250's managed hosting includes everything. And we take 0% of your sales.

A custom-built application comparable to Gallery250 would cost $24,000–$87,000 from an agency — before ongoing maintenance. Gallery250 starts at $499 and you own everything permanently.

What happens when you don't own your platform

These aren't hypotheticals. These are things that have already happened to real businesses.

Artlogic / ArtCloud
  • Professional plans start at $409/month — $4,908+ per year for software you will never own.
  • Cloud-locked. Your data lives on their servers. No codebase access. No database export on your terms.
  • Stop paying and everything disappears — your gallery, your inventory, your customer records.
  • They can raise prices at any time. You have no leverage because you can't leave without losing everything.
Shopify / Squarespace
  • Shopify raised prices 33% overnight in 2023. Millions of stores had no choice.
  • No gallery-specific tools. Edition types, artist management, portfolio separation — you'd need 3–5 paid apps at $10–50/month each.
  • Shopify charges an extra 2% per transaction if you don't use their payment processor.
  • Generic e-commerce designed for selling shoes, not showcasing art. Your gallery deserves better.
Etsy / Amazon Handmade
  • Etsy takes 6.5% of every sale plus $0.20 per listing. On $5,000/month that's $325/month — gone.
  • Amazon Handmade takes 15% of every sale. That's $750/month on the same volume.
  • You cannot build a brand. The customer relationship belongs to the marketplace, not you.
  • Algorithm changes can eliminate your visibility overnight with no recourse.

Enterprise Security, Small Business Price

Gallery250 scored 97/100 against the OWASP Top 10:2025 — the global standard banks and governments use to measure security. This is not typical for small business software.

Also assessed against OWASP ASVS Level 2, NIST SP 800-53, CWE/SANS Top 25, and PCI-DSS applicable controls. Self-assessed — we're transparent about that too.

“

I built Gallery250 because I watched creative friends get nickel-and-dimed by platforms that don't understand how art works. Monthly fees that never end. Transaction cuts on every sale. Generic storefronts designed for selling shoes, not showcasing originals. You deserve software that works for you, not against you. That's not marketing — that's why this exists.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The license is a one-time purchase. You own the software permanently. The only ongoing cost is your Azure hosting (~$19/month), which you pay directly to Microsoft — not to us. Optional managed hosting and priority support add-ons are available if you want them.

Never. All payments go directly to your Square or PayPal account. Web250 takes 0% of your revenue.

The full React frontend codebase, the full Spring Boot backend, your SQL database, your custom domain configuration, and complete admin access. If we disappeared tomorrow, your site keeps running.

Yes. Contact us to upgrade your tier. You only pay the difference between what you paid and the higher tier.

We deploy to Azure because we built a one-click template for it, but the software is a standard Java + React application. It runs anywhere with Java 17+ and a SQL database — AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, your own server, or Docker.

Enterprise includes a direct support channel. Standard and Professional include email support and comprehensive documentation — setup guides, admin tutorials, and developer references that any web developer can follow if you want to extend your site.

Artlogic charges $409–$1,690+/month for cloud-locked software you never own. Our model is fundamentally different — you buy a license once and own the software permanently. We don't need to charge rent because you're not renting.

The vendor marketplace is coming. It will offer theme packs, layout packs, and visual upgrades you can buy voluntarily to refresh your site. No subscription. No schedule. Buy when you're inspired.
