Our web platform is designed to support a wide variety of image-based apps, all built on our service orientated API.
The service oriented nature of our API provides a scalable foundation upon which numerous business or operational strategies might be executed. These apps will all share a degree of commonality with each other; specifically, involving an image upload, online presentation of the image and supported by revenues generated by distributing the image in either a digital or analogue form.
The first products we are building on our API are Artistic.ly and STACKY.
Artistic.ly is a site specialising in limited-edition graphic prints. It will provide a niche marketplace for artists to connect with curators, consumers and their contemporaries. The model will then be fined and optimised in order to rapidly generate new multi-niche marketplaces, each dedicated to particular genres, user-types or product options.
STACKY is an image blogging platform designed to store, share and print digital images. It is designed to help non-professionals self-publish their digital images and for professional users to generate an income from their digital images.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
