We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our latest GeneratePress Starter Site, Artist, designed specifically for artists, photographers, and creative professionals who want their work to take center stage.
A visual creative’s website is different. It must act as a frame, allowing the creative work, whether photography, video, illustrations, or paintings, to take primary focus. The Artist Starter Site does just that, with GeneratePress supporting the site’s responsiveness, accessibility, and performance.

The Artist Starter Site is crafted to provide a modern, clean, and elegant look that highlights your artwork without distraction. Whether you’re a painter, sculptor, photographer, or digital artist, this template offers a seamless way to present your portfolio with a focus on visual impact. With its minimalist design, generous whitespace, and intuitive navigation, Artist ensures your creations are the hero of your website.

How to Get Started
Ready to bring your art to life online? With GeneratePress Premium, you can import the Artist Starter Site with just a few clicks and start customizing it to reflect your creative vision. Here’s how:.
Ensure You Have GeneratePress One. The Starter Site is available exclusively to GeneratePress One users.
Start with a New WordPress Site. The Starter Site import process will change your existing site. It’s best to start with a new WordPress site with no content. You can always import your content, pages and posts, into the new site after it is set up.
Access the Site Library. From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Appearance > GeneratePress > Site Library. Make sure the Site Library is activated.
Import the Artist Starter Site. Click the Artist Starter Site.
On the next screen, click Get Started. If you don’t have the required plugins installed, they will be installed during the Starter Site import process.
Next, click “I understand” to agree to the changes to your site, and click “Begin Import.”
In a few moments, your new site will be ready to view!
Customize with Ease. Use the WordPress Customizer and GenerateBlocks to add your artwork, update text, and adjust colors to match your brand.

The Artist Starter Site requires GeneratePress One.
You neglect to mention that in addition to GP Premium, you need GB Pro, which is very disappointing. I ask that the GB Pro blocks be removed from the template to make the template much more widely available to your existing customers.
It says GeneratePress One is required, which includes GenerateBlocks.
GenerateBlocks Pro is a major part of our website-building system that many of our existing and new users enjoy. It’s important that our Site Library include sites for both GeneratePress One and GP Premium users. We will continue to release sites built with the free version of GenerateBlocks as well.
