Project Overview:
I am looking to build a user-friendly website and companion mobile application that acts as a global marketplace and virtual exhibition space for artists and art collectors. The platform will provide artists with the ability to showcase their work professionally, connect with collectors, and control the sales process while maintaining a simplified and engaging interface. We would like to prevent circumventions by facilitating all transactions within the platform and positioning the website as a professional representation service for artists to secure future commissions. The goal is to create a streamlined, simplified experience that balances functionality, security, and cost.

Core Features:
1. User Types:
• Artists:

o Virtual Gallery: A clean, customizable space for showcasing portfolios, with categorized artwork and detailed information on each piece.
o Print Sales Option: Artists can sell both original works and prints, with optional services like printing, framing, and shipping integrated into the platform.
o Bidding System: Allow artists to take bids on their artwork and prints, giving them more control over pricing while the platform earns commission on each transaction.

o Search and Discovery: An intuitive gallery experience with filters for price, medium, size, and other preferences.
o Auction Features: Bid on artwork and prints directly through the platform.
2. Marketplace and Transaction Control:
• Secure Transactions: All transactions will occur within the platform, with tools to prevent circumvention, similar to Airbnb’s model.
• Commission Structure: The platform will take a commission on all sales, with additional profit margins applied to services like printing, framing, and shipping.
• Integrated Services:
o Partner with printing, framing, and shipping companies to provide seamless add-ons.
o Include appraising services to help buyers feel confident in their purchases.
3. Social and Community Features:
• Follow and Interact: Collectors can follow artists and comment on or like artwork.
• Updates and Notifications: Alert users about new uploads, bids, or price changes.
• In-App Messaging: Enable secure communication between artists and buyers while ensuring transactions remain on the platform.
4. Artist Representation Features:
• Artists can opt into a representation program where the platform promotes their work to international buyers and exhibitions.
• Tools for artists to apply for exhibitions and events organized by the platform.

Design and Development Requirements:
• Simplified and Intuitive UI/UX:
o Artists' profiles should feel similar to a simplified Facebook profile with easy navigation.
o Buyers’ experience should mirror e-commerce platforms with streamlined browsing and purchasing workflows.

• Security: Ensure robust security for user data, payment processing, and artwork authenticity.
• CMS Integration: Allow for easy content updates (blogs, artist features, exhibition updates).
________________________________________
Business Model and Revenue Streams:
