Hello guys,
I have been around these forums for a long time reading and learning. Unfortunately, the time I have to spend learning to write code is small and I have finally given in due to time restraints. I am a full time artist of fine art paintings and I am represented in 16 galleries across the United States and the web is slowly growing as a means for collectors to find art. I want to get ahead of the game and get my site started.
You can view my work [URL=“http://www.eliocamacho.com/ImageGallery/index.htm”]here…
Here is the project…
I need a **CLEAN **full flash site…with the following menu options….
_the Artist…
Basically, just text will be loaded her with bio info. XML would be preferred here so I can change information on the fly.
_the Galleries…
This page will have all my gallery information broken up by state. Collectors can view an xml/driven image gallery of the paintings currently in each gallery along with a link to each site.
Ok…this is probably the only section of my site that I like…But it was a work in progress…I would gladly give you what I have and you could clean up from there or if you think you can come up with something better…even better.
_the work…
OK…this is the part people will come to see…the paintings…
Within this menu they have three options…
View the work currently in Galleries….
View the work for sale the website…by the way I have purchased a copy flash Kart…actually I was of the very first people to be given a copy nearly a year ago and if worked fine with a few bugs but nothing I couldn’t live with. They have made a lot of progress so I am going to contact them to get all the latest files. Even with my limited knowledge and there help I was able to get it working quite easily. So you should no trouble getting it to work. (Note…I hate the appearance of the original FlashKart so you will need to skin over it.)
View all the work…basically an image gallery with sold and current work….Just about everything…
I will be using excel to modify my xml file…if that matters.
_the inspiration
Nothing here except something that says “coming soon”
_the residue
Nothing here except something that says “coming soon”
_the contact
Flash contact sheet…
That’s it…except I would like a flash blog if that possible…I need the backend built…I know it’s possible but it’s not a must have but I would like it if it’s an easy addition.
Maybe someone can give me the cost with and without it.
I will handle all the images…you will just basically need to get it working with one image and I will fill in all the xml data in. Same goes for filling in the admin stuff for Flash Kart.
Why this project will interest you?
It is no secret that the collectors of fine art have money. Anyone spending 5-10k for a painting has money. Many of my collectors include NFL Hall of Famers, Academy Award Winners, and CEO’s of major companies. I am not saying you will get work from this but I promise anyone who asks will get your info and you are more then welcome to TAG the site.
Here is a link to some of my favorite sites…this will give you an idea of what I like…

I want music like the above site to be playing in the background…If you can point me in the direction of some good sites I can buy/download royalty music I will search.
I am including two images to use as inspiration for the background…I would like to use either a close up of my work or my pallet…curious what you guys come up with…obviously better photos will be taken once I know what you want.
Time Line…
A few months…Obviously the sooner the better but no hurry…
Cost…
Ok…here is the thing…I really have no clue what you guys charge for something like this. How much will this cost? Let me know. I am also interested in a barter situation if someone is an art collector. I will actually make it worth there wild if they want to barter. So what ever it would cost I in cash I will give you double the value in art work. Please keep in mind many of those paintings above are already sold so if that is the route we go I will send you information on available paintings as they become available and you will get first choice.
