ART ARCHIVING

The artist archiving we offer as an integrated part of our artist website design saves the artist double-entry work and years of expensive archiving platform subscription fees.

Custom artist archive website homepage: a public portfolio page presenting a painting full-width in a clean, browsable gallery layout.
The public face of your archive-website can be as simple as any portfolio website—custom-designed to your work but easy for the public to browse and understand.
Bulk-editing pages enable you to search or filter your works to edit details for many at a time or to create collections for private pages or PDF reports (catalogs, etc).
Your work will be listed in a way that enables you to search and sort—and see at a glance where you have content missing or which works are out on loan or sold.
Visual pages with large thumbnails and basic metadata allow you to filter by a category and then make selections for further editing or for creation of private pages.
In a matter of minutes you can select a custom group of works and create a private page for any purpose—for a gallery, for a collector, for a grant or proposal.
A career TIMELINE can be compiled from stories, works, achievements, events and publications—and then filtered by these categories or by time periods.

We develop each artist website to be extendable to include:

  • Inventory management for exhibitions and sales
  • Private-view collections for curators and collectors
  • High-resolution and associated images, media and documents for each artwork—ready for any submission
  • Contact management (curators, collectors, reviewers, collaborators, clients, mailing list, etc)
  • Calendar management for submission, delivery and pickup deadlines
  • Custom reports (catalogues, invoices, tear-sheets, labels, QR codes, etc)
  • Catalogue Raisonné details including provenance, signatures & authentication certificates, exhibition history, bibliographic history, condition and research notes and other documentation
  • Hosting, backups, & maintenance included

The entire body of work can be managed from the database with a selection made public at any time and the rest available to the artist with the option of making private selections available to individuals for specific purposes.

And the added bonus is: it’s all completely customizable to your needs. We are not running a one-size-fits-all platform. Instead we create a structure that fits your work and career and provide a full toolkit for managing the artwork data and relationships to people, places and opportunities. You can have it all in one—a great website, a great inventory management tool and the basis for a lasting catalogue raisonné.

INTRANETS & ORGANIZATION ARCHIVES

We also create multi-user intranets for organizations with multiple offices to enable collaborative management of information.

Each intranet is designed to reduce double-work and securely and efficiently enable all content-creators and administrators within an organization to update records such that they and others can access the most updated information at any time and create reports as needed.
