June was a big month for ArteraQ. After talking with many people in the art world, I decided to focus more on galleries, art advisors, and collection managers instead of individual collectors. This meant making quite a few changes to the product, including a new inventory-focused dashboard, better reports, and a simpler onboarding process.
I also added a 14-day free trial with all features unlocked, no credit card required. After the trial, users can stay on the free plan with up to 50 artworks or upgrade for more. Monthly and yearly payments through Stripe are now ready too. Looking back, the hardest part hasn’t been writing the code. It’s figuring out who really needs the product and what they need from it.
