Commission free web store

We believe that artists should do what they do best, create art, while we should do what we do best, bring it online. This principle has been paramount to us throughout the development process of Zhibit.org and is also evident in our pricing model. We don't charge you for your work; only for ours. This means that Zhibit LLC does not charge commissions for selling your artwork, but instead only a flat fee for the service of putting it online.

Zhibit.org has paid for itself easily in increased sales since I have been listed. I receive many compliments on my web site and its ease of presentation. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Sell directly to your customers with no mediation of Zhibit LLC and never any transaction fees.
A shopping cart lets you accept orders for multiple items at a time. It can also hold items for your customers for up to 30 days giving them a chance to make up their mind and return later to finalize their purchase.
Inventory is automatically updated for items that sell or run out of stock.

Affordable rates

Yes, it really is free! A basic 100 MB website is entirely free of charge. Premium subscription plans, ranging from $5 to $19 a month, are available for those who need extra features, such as ecommerce, domain aliasing or site analytics.

How can you offer this free site? I can't get over how great it is.

Subscribing to Zhibit.org is risk free thanks to our honest guarantees:

30 day money back guarantee: we will refund fully, no questions asked, any subscription payment for a period longer than one month when notified within 30 days of the date of the payment.

Who we are

Zhibit.org was launched in 2005 with the simple premise of empowering artists to create a website to showcase and sell their art online as inexpensively and as easily as possible. In today's world an internet presence is more important than ever yet the technology for creating and hosting a website still eludes many due to its complexity and cost. As an artist, we know you want to concentrate on that which you do best - art - and not worry about designing your website, nor pay through the teeth to have a web designer do it for you.

I don't feel like I'm dealing with an Internet company and that's very nice.

Today Zhibit LLC remains a small shop. We believe it puts us in a position to be on your side rather than on that of a large corporation. Many in our small group of dedicated individuals are themselves artists in their spare time and as such are attentive to what artists need. The services we offer on Zhibit.org are the same ones we'd like to see ourselves.

Real artists, proven results

Zhibit LLC has been in business since 2005 with a proven track record of thousands of satisfied artists who host their websites with us. Here is what some of them are saying about Zhibit.org:
