How to Create a Press Page That Makes Your Existing Coverage Easier to Explore

A thoughtful interview, review, or feature can give people a useful way into your work. Yet those pieces often disappear into a long list of bookmarks, social posts, and messages. A press page is a simple place to collect coverage that already exists, so a new visitor can understand the conversation around your practice without having to hunt for it. It is not a victory lap or a substitute for the work itself. It is a carefully chosen reading path: a few reliable references, enough context to understand why they matter, and a clear route back to the projects you want people to explore now.

Define What the Press Page Is For

Start with the reader rather than the size of your collection. A press page can help a curator understand a project’s history, help a customer find a deeper introduction, or help a potential collaborator see how others have described your work. Choose one of those jobs as the leading purpose. It will tell you what to include, what to leave out, and which link should come first. A broad page can still be useful, but it needs a clear promise. For example, you might describe it as a selected collection of interviews and reviews about a particular body of work. That is more helpful than presenting every mention as if it carries the same weight.

Keep the scope honest and easy to understand

You do not need to call a short local feature an international profile, or present a mention as a formal review. Give every item a truthful label: interview, conversation, exhibition listing, review, podcast appearance, or profile. If a piece sits behind a paywall or has changed location, say so briefly. Clear language protects the reader’s time and keeps the page credible.

Choose Coverage That Adds Useful Context

Selection is the work. Start with the pieces that explain a real aspect of your practice: an interview where you discuss a material decision, a review that sets a project in context, or a recorded conversation that introduces a new series. Then ask whether each link gives the reader something they cannot get from the next item. If two pieces make the same point, keep the clearer or more accessible one. A page with five well-chosen links is often more useful than a long chronological archive. If older coverage is still meaningful, group it under a small heading such as ‘Earlier conversations’ rather than letting it compete with current work.

Add one sentence around every link

A title and publication name are a start, but a brief annotation helps a reader choose. Name the format, the date if it matters, and the useful reason to open it. ‘Interview about the sound work in the 2025 installation’ gives a clearer expectation than simply naming the outlet. Avoid trying to summarise the whole piece. Your sentence only needs to make the next click feel considered.

Give the Page a Clear Route From Your Work

A press page works best when it belongs to the rest of your digital presence. A PageLink page can point to your selected coverage beside a project index, portfolio, contact route, or current release. Link to it when a visitor might reasonably want more context, rather than placing it in every message. The route back matters too. At the end of the page, offer one or two specific next steps: view the project discussed in the interview, see current work, or make an enquiry. The page should expand a visitor’s understanding, then return them to a useful decision.

Review the Page When Something New Appears

Return to the page when a meaningful piece of coverage is published, a link changes, or a project has moved on. Add the new item only if it improves the path. Remove a broken link, update a description when a project is no longer current, and check the final routes from a visitor’s point of view. This small review keeps the page useful without turning it into another channel that needs constant promotion.

A well-kept press page lets existing coverage do its quiet work: choose the pieces that add perspective, make each link easy to understand, and connect the reader back to what you are creating now.
