CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT
CATALOGUE.gallery
An independent discovery platform, designed and built from the ground up. Explore an ecosystem of 300+ artists and galleries through their own websites, move between profiles and stories, and return exactly where you left off. Alongside it, a daily media operation covers auctions, exhibitions and digital art culture through Content Lab and DISPATCH.
THE CHALLENGE
Connect a distributed art ecosystem without flattening every artist into the same hosted portfolio. Add a publishing operation that makes discovery worth returning to.
THE RESULT
A live directory of 300+ artists and galleries, with in-context website browsing, Content Lab and DISPATCH. The result is an operating product and editorial workflow, built across design, development and publishing.
A distinct way to discover
CATALOGUE connects an independent directory with an editorial publication. Its visual carousel opens into each artist’s own website, preserving their identity and bringing visitors back to the same place when they leave. Artists keep ownership of their digital environments: CATALOGUE embeds their websites in context rather than hosting their artwork. Navigation, pagination and curated spaces turn that distributed ecosystem into one coherent experience. Search connects artists, galleries, interviews and articles.
A daily media operation
Content Lab covers auctions, exhibitions and digital art culture, publishing roughly three to four articles a day. DISPATCH extends that coverage onto X with a daily headline roundup. Discovery and editorial work together: readers can move from a story to an artist’s profile, then into the artist’s own world.
The systems behind the experience
Grokbot agents support editorial production and artist onboarding. A private editorial workspace brings research, assisted drafting, review and publishing together, with editorial control before publication. Applications move through a review workflow with automated email notifications. Profiles, stories and daily distribution are supported by one connected publishing operation.
From product idea to a live platform
Designed, built and shipped independently by one builder across the creative and technical layers: product identity, interface design, responsive navigation, the iframe-first architecture, APIs, content management and deployment. Content Lab and DISPATCH are also run end to end with Grokbot agents. The same depth can support a specialist directory, a membership community or a publication with its own way of connecting people and content.
