Client brief

The Atyrau Regional Museum of Fine and Decorative Arts named after Shaymardan Sariev was founded in 1992 and in 2005 was named after the local artist Shaymardan Tilemisuly Sariev, a member of the Union of Artists of Kazakhstan. The collection holds over 2,000 works: paintings, graphics, sculpture, and decorative arts by Kazakhstani masters. Nine halls — Sariev Hall, Central Hall, «Асыл мұра», two applied arts halls, a graphics hall, «Махамбет», «Сарайшық», and an exhibition hall. The scope of work included: a bilingual website, a dedicated section for each of the 9 halls with descriptions and visuals, a virtual tour with panoramic photography, a Union of Artists section, a children's fine arts studio page, photo and video galleries, a guest book, a public procurement section, and accessibility support for visually impaired users. The result is a light, graceful website that breathes art. Exactly what it deserved.
Outcome

What we shipped

Launched a bilingual website featuring all 9 halls; implemented a virtual tour with panoramic viewing; created sections for the Union of Artists and the children's studio; ensured full accessibility for users with limited mobility.
Solution

How we did it

Working on the Sariev Museum project carried a special energy. This is a living artistic space where new works are born, masters meet, and children learn. The website had to reflect that — not just be functional, but become a work of art in its own right. From the very first meetings it became clear: these people cherish beauty. There were no formal specs — instead, they showed us paintings, walked us through the halls, and told us about the artists. This set an entirely different level of immersion in the project. The key challenge was striking the balance between aesthetics and usability. We could have gone for something very design-forward — but instead we chose clarity, space, and a focus on imagery. Let the works speak for themselves. The virtual tour was designed not as a technical showcase but as a true experience: strolling through the halls, pausing in front of a painting, taking in every detail.
