S.T.Art Life

What tasks did our team face?

• Implement a comfortable and intuitive web platform with two types of personal accounts: creators and clients.
• Create tools for customizing virtual creator galleries so that users without programming skills can easily customize the presentation of their work.
• Add creator profile integration with social networks for easy content import and tracking the success of each work.
• Develop a panel for convenient administration of the S.T.Art Life service.

How the development went

For the technical implementation of the S.T.Art Life platform, we formed a dedicated team, which included specialists from various fields: designers, planners, frontend and backend developers, QA engineers and a project manager. The development process consisted of six sequential stages:

• Collection of information. We studied our closest competitors, their strengths and weaknesses, and then developed a unique concept for the future service.
• UX design. Based on the approved concept, we created a prototype and wrote technical documentation.
• UI design. We created a custom UI design for the platform.

• Programming. We implemented the server and client parts of S.T.Art Life at the code level and performed all the necessary integrations with external services and social networks.
• Working with adaptability. Particular attention was paid to developing the adaptability of the platform so that it would display and function correctly on different devices. This is important, because the majority of S.T.Art Life’s target audience prefers to work from a smartphone.
• Quality Assurance (QA). We created and configured a dedicated test environment in which our QA engineers checked the correct operation of functions, performance, security, fault tolerance and the ability of the platform to withstand high loads. After fixing the problems and obtaining positive results, we deployed the product on a public server.

What technologies did we use?

To develop the S.T.Art Life platform, we used a proven and reliable technology stack: the Laravel PHP framework for the server side, as well as the Vue.js and Nuxt.js libraries for the client side. The combination of these technologies allowed us to achieve high security, performance and fast page loading speed, which is very important, because the service stores and provides access to a huge amount of high-resolution content.

Functionality S.T.Art Life

Behind the external simplicity and conciseness of the S.T.Art Life platform there are hidden wide functionality for all types of users. We will talk about the main ones in detail below.

Two types of personal accounts

When registering a new account on the S.T.Art Life platform, the visitor must indicate the desired type of personal account – a regular user or a creator. Depending on this choice, the functionality of the profile will differ significantly.

Regular users have the opportunity to browse a directory of photographers and videographers, customize listings to suit individual needs, purchase content and order creative services.

The creator’s personal profile has a wider range of features:

• Loading content.
• Online gallery management.
• Change of personal data: specialization, cost of services, language of communication.
• Profile customization, which includes organizing content in the gallery, adding a subdomain, customizing color schemes and other parameters.
• Setting up free advertising within the S.T.Art Life platform.
  Restriction of access to content.

Users are not limited to only one personal account, and can easily register and link two types of profiles for ease of use. Switching between accounts in this case is carried out in a few clicks.

Financial operations

Integration of payment systems and bank APIs allows users to quickly and safely make payments within the system: pay for tariff plans and buy content from creators. The history of financial transactions can always be viewed in the corresponding section in your personal account.

Integration with social networks

Creators can import works into the S.T.Art Life gallery directly from their Instagram page. At the same time, social reactions, including user likes on the social network, will also be displayed on the platform, which makes tracking the performance of work even simpler and more convenient.

Admin panel

Administration of the S.T.Art Life platform is carried out using a convenient admin panel, which we developed and implemented in accordance with the individual needs of the client. It includes many modules: tracking user actions, managing content and tariff plans, setting up mailings, collecting analytical data and many other features that help the customer effectively manage their business and track its performance.

The AVADA MEDIA team designed and developed S.T.Art Life – an aesthetic space for creators and those looking for specialists in the field of photography and videography. The flexibility and functionality of the platform already satisfies most of the needs of the target audience, thanks to which it has burst onto the market and is rapidly gaining popularity among users.

Today we continue to work on the development of S.T.Art Life and provide its comprehensive technical support to ensure the achievement of the client’s business plans.
