The Art Store

Found on: The Art page

Where original paintings are listed for sale, grouped into the Blackhole and Pendulum series.

What can be updated

  • Add, remove, or edit art pieces (title, series, dimensions, price, image).
  • Change a piece's status: Available, Purchase Pending, or Sold.
  • Each piece shows a price plus a flat $45 shipping fee added at checkout.

Art pieces are stored in the site's database (the 'ArtPiece' collection). Editing them there updates the store instantly — no code needed.

The Books

Found on: The Books page + a preview on the Home page

The three books: Vulnerable, Confessions of a Broken Man, and Intimate Regrets.

What can be updated

  • Add real cover images (currently placeholders).
  • Write the final description for each book.
  • Set the publication year.
  • Decide what the 'Learn More' button should do (e.g. link to Amazon).

Book details live in a single content file. Send the covers and text to whoever manages the site and they'll be dropped in.

Voiceover

Found on: The Voiceover page

A short intro that links out to the official Voice123 profile where clients can hear samples and book work.

What can be updated

  • Update the description text.
  • Change the Voice123 link if the profile URL ever changes.

This page is complete and working.

The Podcast

Found on: A section on the Home page

A promo blurb for 'The Xavier Black Experience' podcast with a 'Get in touch' email button.

What can be updated

  • Decide the direction: keep as a promo, add real episode links, or remove it.
  • Update the description and featured photo.

No live episodes are listed yet — this is a decision still to be made.

Payments

Found on: Behind the Purchase buttons on the Art page

Checkout runs through Base44 Payments. A payment account (PayPal) still needs to be connected before real sales can go through.

What can be updated

  • Connect the PayPal account to enable live checkout.
  • Until connected, purchases can't be completed.

This is the main item blocking live sales. Once payment is connected, the whole checkout flow is ready to test.

Photos & Imagery

Found on: Throughout the site (Hero, Voiceover, Podcast, Statement sections)

Professional photos are used across several sections.

What can be updated

  • Swap in new professional photos as they become available.
  • Portrait photos work best in the Podcast and profile spots.

Send new images to whoever manages the site to have them placed.

Making Changes

The site is built on Base44. Two ways to keep it current:

  1. 1

    Content edits (art pieces, statuses): Managed directly in the Base44 dashboard's database — the art store reads from there and updates live.

  2. 2

    Design or text changes: Describe the change in plain language inside the Base44 editor chat (which page, what to change) and it gets built for you.
