Transport and delivery: Website for art transporters
A website for art transporters that explains packaging options and transport services, from soft wrapping to bespoke crates and accompanied shipments, so a gallery, museum or collector knows what suits the object.
What visitors want to know from art transporters.
Art transporters work for very different clients: a private collector with a single painting, a gallery collecting an exhibition, a museum sending a loan abroad. Many websites say little more than that works are handled with care. The difference between soft wrapping and a crate, when a climate crate is needed or what a condition report involves has to be explained over the phone. A collector then asks the price of a van, while their work on panel actually needs a crate. A museum registrar, meanwhile, looks for evidence that you can handle loan conditions and accompanying couriers, and does not find it.

From first visit to enquiry.
Organise services by object
The site arranges the offer by what is being moved: paintings on canvas or panel, works on paper behind glass, sculpture, installations and furniture. For each type, the visitor reads which packaging is usual and why. A collector understands that their framed etching needs different care from a bronze sculpture.
Explain packaging and service
Separate pages explain soft wrapping, travel crates, bespoke crates and climate crates, with photos of the inside: foam, compartments, shock indicators. Shared shuttles, dedicated vehicles and accompanied transport with the lender's courier get their own explanation too, so the visitor can weigh up the options.
Each client, the right entrance
A private collector, a gallery and a museum each get their own starting point with the questions that matter to them. The collector reads how collection from home works; the registrar finds information on condition reports, facility details and climate monitoring. From every entrance the visitor moves on to an enquiry with the right fields.
Connected to your software.
Art transporters are often found through recommendations from galleries, auction houses and conservators, and through museum networks. The site supports those recommendations: a conservator can link straight to the page on moving fragile works. You manage the copy on packaging, insurance and international shipments yourself. Enquiries go to the address where you currently prepare quotes. Images of past shipments are only published with the permission of the owner or lender, and without recognisable works unless that has been agreed.
Show works or keep it discreet
Photos of well-known works in your crates are impressive, but many owners do not want their possessions on display. Detail shots of packaging, crate building and handling without a recognisable artwork demonstrate craftsmanship without breaching the discretion clients expect. In this market that discretion carries real weight.
Private clients or institutions first
Museums and galleries provide regular work and expect specialist knowledge. Private clients are more numerous but book less often and need more explanation. A site that serves both equally ends up too general for either. Decide which group gets the main entrance and give the other its own clear route.
Storage separate or part of the service
Many art transporters also have climate-controlled storage. As a standalone service it attracts collectors looking for space. As part of transport it shows that a work can stay safe between two exhibitions. The site can present both, as long as it is clear what belongs to which service.

We build pages per object type, an explanation of packaging and crate building, separate entrances for private clients and institutions and a clear route to the enquiry form. Before launch we walk through two requests: a framed painting going from a collector to a gallery, and a loan with climate requirements and a courier who travels along. Pages on storage and international shipments can be added later, once you have the copy and photos for them ready.

Explore pricing and optionsCan we show clients' works on the website?
Only with explicit permission. Many owners and lenders do not want that. Detail shots of packaging, crates and handling show your way of working without a recognisable work. In this sector that is often more convincing, because it shows you take discretion seriously.
How do we explain different packaging clearly?
Give each packaging type a short explanation with a photo of the inside and an example of the kind of work it suits. A table of object type, fragility and usual packaging helps visitors who want to compare. Specialist terms can stay, as long as they are explained.
Should we publish our insurance terms on the site?
An explanation of how cover during transport is arranged helps. The exact terms and amounts belong in the quote, because they depend on value and route. Do state on the site when a client insures the work themselves and when you arrange it.
What should the site say about international transport?
Describe which countries or routes you serve, whether you handle customs documents and that some cultural goods may need additional paperwork. Refer to a personal conversation for the details, since requirements differ per object and per country.
