Introduction
Art is an expression of creativity and culture, and this project aims
to bridge the gap between artists and art enthusiasts by providing
a comprehensive online platform. The website serves as a digital
marketplace where users can browse, purchase, and stay updated
about art exhibitions. It also offers tools for artists to showcase
their work, thus fostering a sense of community. The primary goal
is to create a seamless experience for both artists and customers
while ensuring security, scalability, and reliability.

Literature Review
Several studies and platforms highlight the growing trend of digital
art marketplaces. Existing platforms like Artsy and Saatchi Art
have demonstrated the importance of providing artists with a
global audience and users with personalized experiences.
Furthermore, research has shown that online art sales have been
steadily increasing, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating the
shift towards digital platforms. This project draws inspiration from
such platforms while focusing on unique features like
personalized customer IDs, real-time booking management, and
integration of feedback mechanisms.

Contextualizing the Project

The Artist Platform Website was conceptualized to address the
challenges faced by artists in showcasing their work and by
customers in accessing diverse art collections. The platform aims
to:
 Enhance accessibility to modern art.
 Provide detailed and up-to-date information on exhibitions and
events.
 Facilitate smooth transactions and order tracking.
 Collect user feedback to improve the platform continually.
 Support emerging artists by giving them a space to promote
their art.

Platform Selection
The following technologies were chosen for the project:
 Frontend: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for creating an intuitive
and visually appealing user interface.
 Backend: PHP for server-side scripting and MySQL for secure

 Database Management: MySQL ensures structured storage
and quick retrieval of user and order data.
 Additional Tools: Libraries and frameworks for form validation,
API integration, and security enhancements.
 Hosting Platform: A cloud-based hosting service for ensuring
availability and scalability.

Design and Architecture

The architecture of the platform follows a modular approach:
 Frontend Design: A responsive and mobile-friendly interface
using modern CSS frameworks.
 Backend Logic: Secure PHP scripts managing data flow and
user authentication.
 Database: MySQL for efficient data handling and structured
