Efrem Flaks — a record from the DIRAC SEA collection

What we built

Every record is a real copy

Individual lot pages contain edition details, descriptions and original photographs. Thousands of images are arranged in galleries with zoom and layouts for different screens.

Search and musical connections

Categories, subgenres, filters, sorting and pagination support exploration. Recommendations link recordings through performers, composers, genres and collection membership.

Listening Room

A digital representation of a real listening room was developed with 29 interactive points. Visitors explore audio components and their descriptions. The interactive section continues to develop.

A journal within the collection

The Journal brings together writing about musicians, records, recording history and analogue equipment. Historical and musical checking of articles and notes continues.

Pages built for discovery

Lots have their own indexable URLs. XML sitemaps, canonical links, structured data and analytics provide the technical foundation for further search visibility work.

B@B / A new project

What would a similar website cost?

A catalogue website — standard scope

137 500–277 500 ₽

Individual design for a music project, categories, an agreed record-page model with photographs and specifications, search and agreed filters. Includes a mobile layout, enquiries, catalogue updates and a search-friendly technical structure. The quotation defines the initial content volume.

With features comparable to DIRAC SEA

Individually quoted

The standard catalogue plus marketplace integration, bulk content preparation and editorial work. The full quotation depends on the data sources, number of records and readiness of the material.

  • Meshok integration, listing-status updates and an archive of inactive listings, with the connection and update rules quoted separately.
  • Importing and preparing hundreds of record pages, processing photographs and checking links, based on the actual collection.
  • Original articles, research into recordings and custom editorial features, itemised against an agreed scope.

These figures are indicative costs for a new project at current B@B rates, not the price paid for the work shown here. We provide a tailored quotation once the scope and volume of work have been agreed.
