Why look for a business to transform, when I was already struggling to grow one of my own?
The #GiveItAGlow challenge felt like the perfect opportunity to help a real local business grow. And then I thought—why look elsewhere when I’m an independent artist trying to build one myself?
The Story — From scattered DMs to Sanidos
Sanidos is my independent art and commission business. Before this build, potential clients discovered my work online, but managing the business meant endless DMs, repeated pricing questions, manual enquiries, meeting coordination, deadlines, progress updates, and scattered client information.
I didn’t just need a prettier portfolio.
I needed a better way to run my art business.
So, with Base44, I built one.
The Product — Enter the Gallery. Make It Yours.
Sanidos is now a live, published, and mobile-responsive digital art studio built entirely with Base44.
Visitors can experience my work through four distinct artistic worlds—Chandai, In Motion, Odyssey, and Tailored—before moving seamlessly from discovering my art to commissioning something of their own.
It is not a prototype or a mockup. It is the new digital home of the art business I am actively trying to grow.
The Automation — More time for art. Less time on admin.
Underneath the immersive gallery is a connected commission-management system.
Clients can enter their requirements, estimate commission prices, submit enquiries, book meetings, receive automated email confirmations, and track the progress of their artwork.
On my end, every enquiry becomes easier to manage through a private Admin Dashboard that brings together leads, commissions, appointments, messages, deadlines, revenue, and business insights.
What was once:
DM → repeated questions → manual scheduling → scattered information → constant progress enquiries
is now:
Discover → Estimate → Enquire → Notify → Approve → Schedule → Manage → Track → Deliver.
The Impact — Building the business I want Sanidos to become
This challenge gave me the chance to solve a problem I experience firsthand: the more time an independent artist spends managing the business, the less time they have to create.
Base44 helped me build more than a beautiful website. It helped me connect my portfolio, customer experience, automation, and business management into one working system.
What began as a glow-up became the digital infrastructure for the art business I’m trying to grow.
I didn’t just build Sanidos a better website.
I built myself more time to create.
