Building an Online presence and an iPhone App for an Art Gallery
• Neev built an online art gallery for a client in the form of a website
and an iPhone application.
• The online gallery provides each user a personalized dashboard that
provides notifications and other customized data.
• The art gallery lists all the exhibitions, galleries and artists in a
concise manner for easy viewing and purchase.
• The application also included a search feature for users to search
other users, galleries and art works by location.
• ArtBee officials can supervise the content in the online gallery
through an admin interface.

and a platform for online art auctions.
• It provides great virtual art shows from around the world.

displayed online, auction art works and also make a purchase.
• It also allows users to connect with artists and galleries.
