Our Role:
CIMA Art Gallery wanted to develop their new website that would be modern, smart, user friendly and at par with any renowned art gallery museum around the globe. They also wanted to incorporate for the first time in their history, the ‘Purchase Online’ facility that Festoon was given the task by CIMA Art Gallery to fulfil these objectives.
The Challenges:

The centre has over 11,000 sq.ft. of state-of-the-art gallery space in Kolkata, a comprehensive database and evaluation and publication facilities. It holds regularly, interdisciplinary interactions and seminars, presided over by scholars, artists, directors and performers of international repute.

was conducted to provide the most accurate creative and development solution that would cater to the needs and aspirations of CIMA Art Gallery.
Apart from a crisp, clean and elegant front-end design layout for the website an extensive, efficient and dynamic ‘Purchase Online’ system was developed (including payment gateway integration) that enabled CIMA Art Gallery to showcase and sell online selected paintings of artists from around the country.
