Boutique Story

We had star­ted three years ago, in 2007, when we re­gistered our design stu­dio, Glow­ing Mind. Around the time we star­ted, we had met Dmitriy Pavlov, who asked us to design his web­site to present a com­pre­hens­ive port­fo­lio of his works. We had listened to Dmitriy and de­cided to design his web­site, since it also was go­ing to be a good prac­tice for us as de­sign­ers of visu­al dis­plays of in­form­a­tion. In less than two months from that mo­ment, we had launched the first web­site, DP Stu­dio On­line, that fea­tured 40 cus­tom hand craf­ted and en­graved works of Dmitriy Pavlov, and provided in­form­a­tion about the artist, his tal­ent and ca­reer, and his ex­hib­i­tions and awards. We had be­come Dmitriy's on­line team of rep­res­ent­at­ives and handled all the DP Stu­dio On­line com­mu­nic­a­tions and or­ders.

In 2008, we had met Dmitry Malak­hov, and we had been taken away by his tal­ent and work. At that mo­ment, we had real­ized the need to present more tal­en­ted artists on the Web. Dmitriy Pavlov had sup­por­ted our idea, and we star­ted draft­ing the Fine Arts Boutique project. We had put to­geth­er a project plan, and the work began. We were go­ing to in­tro­duce many in­ter­est­ing fea­tures on that web­site, but the de­vel­op­ment had not un­der­gone as planned. Non­ethe­less, with quite a few fea­tures miss­ing, we had launched Fine Arts Boutique in 2009.

That web­site fea­tured some 60 works of two artists, and re­quired a lot of in­form­a­tion ad­di­tions. We had really hard time main­tain­ing the first ver­sion of Fine Arts Boutique, and we had star­ted draft­ing plans for the next im­proved ver­sion. What we really wanted to de­liv­er even in the first ver­sion of our web­site was a great on­line gal­lery and present­a­tion, one that would be in­tu­it­ive and user friendly enough for our vis­it­ors to come back again and to share the web­site link with their friends.

With the idea of a great gal­lery and present­a­tion in mind, we have taken the last en­deavor to im­prove our web­site and to make it friend­li­er to our vis­it­ors, our artists, and even ourselves. We have de­cided to play ser­i­ous this time, and we have teamed up with a strong de­vel­op­ment team and freel­ance writers to build the latest ver­sion. We have star­ted work­ing on this ver­sion in Septem­ber of 2009, and now, in 2010, we are very ex­cited about its fi­nal com­ple­tion and launch. We have worked really hard on this web­site, and we truly hope that you will en­joy your view­ing and brows­ing ex­per­i­en­ce, while vis­it­ing us. We look for­ward to place more in­ter­est­ing in­form­a­tion, to add more use­ful fea­tures, and to make our gal­lery even bet­ter.
