For cultural organisations:
Website development for art incubators
We build websites for organisations that clearly present residents, spaces, events and application opportunities. Visitors find information easily, and your team finds it simple to update.
Experience working with cultural and public-sector organisations
For an art incubator, a website is not just a business card. It has to bring together resident profiles, open calls, an events calendar, space enquiries and clear information for visitors in one place. We build the website so that its content is accessible to everyone, and the website itself meets public-sector requirements without creating extra work for your team.

Most common problems
Space enquiries get lost across several channels
When people write by e-mail, call or ask on social media, it is hard to see quickly what has already been answered and what is still waiting. Communication stalls as a result, and sometimes the space booking itself does too.
Event information quickly goes out of date
Exhibitions, workshops, open studios and presentations are often announced in different formats. Visitors have to look up the date, venue and registration separately, and the team has to repeat everything across several channels.
Presenting residents and their work does not show the incubator’s value
If resident profiles are incomplete, inconsistent or hard to update, the website does not reveal the scale of the incubator’s work. Potential partners, visitors and future residents then find it harder to understand what is being created here and what makes the incubator stand out.
Information on applications, calls and selections is not clearly managed
When calls for residencies, programmes or projects are presented unclearly, applicants get in touch more often about basic information, and the team spends time answering the same questions again and again. It is also awkward to manage deadlines, documents and different application conditions.
What we do
A user-friendly website for residents, events, spaces and application management
Visitors will see straight away who works in your spaces and what each artist does.
A resident showcase section with stories about their work
You will be able to conveniently publish resident profiles with a biography, a description of their work, photos, links, residency period and related projects. The content will be presented consistently and easy to find for visitors, partners and the media alike.
People will quickly find what is on now, where to go and how to register, without extra phone calls.
An events calendar with registration and practical information
You will be able to publish upcoming and past events, stating the time, venue, programme, participants, registration procedure and other important information. Visitors will quickly find relevant events, and your team will be able to update all related content in one place.
Fewer unclear enquiries and more order in managing the use of spaces.
Managing enquiries for spaces, studios and equipment
You will be able to provide a clear catalogue of spaces and resources with descriptions, photos, usage options and an enquiry form. This will help you collect all the necessary information from those getting in touch and manage the rental or usage process in a more orderly way.
Applicants will get clear information, and your team will spend less time on repeated explanations.
A section for publishing open calls and applications
You will be able to publish open calls for residencies, programmes, partnerships or projects, clearly stating deadlines, requirements, documents and the selection process. It will also be easy to update the information when conditions or deadlines change.
Your most important results will be easy to find and well presented in the long term.
An archive of projects, exhibitions and activities
You will be able to build up and conveniently present an archive of past projects, exhibitions, residencies and joint initiatives. This will help show the continuity of your work, report to partners and keep important institutional memory in one place.
The art incubator attracts more artists and partners with a professional portfolio and clear information about its residency programme.
“Tobalt” is a reliable company that meets its commitments on time and honestly. We have worked together for 5 years and have renewed our website again with their help.

Frequently asked questions
Will the website be adapted to public-sector accessibility requirements?
Yes. When designing the website, we provide for a clear structure, appropriate contrast, keyboard navigation, understandable forms and other accessibility principles that matter for organisations working in the public sector.
Will our team be able to add events, open calls and new residents themselves?
Yes, the website is built so that you can update the content yourselves, without a developer’s help. We prepare a clear structure and show you how to fill in the events, residents, spaces and open calls sections easily.
Can application forms be presented properly on the website while meeting GDPR requirements?
Yes, application and enquiry forms can be prepared so that only essential information is collected, the purpose of data processing is clearly stated and the necessary consents are provided. This helps you handle personal data more responsibly and reduces the risk of collecting excessive information.
Is such a project suitable for purchase through public procurement procedures?
Yes, the project can be planned so that its scope, functionality, and accessibility, security and content management requirements are clearly described in the procurement documents. This helps define the need more precisely and makes it easier to compare suppliers’ bids.
