IVAN — WEBSITE DESIGN REQUEST (PHASE 1 + PHASE 2) Context This is not a small facelift. This is a controlled rebuild of the front layer + restructuring of the experience. David’s direction: * less content (≈50% reduction) * fewer categories * stronger first impression * more space, stronger typography * more curated, less exploratory CRITICAL CLARIFICATION (VR) * No interactive VR in Phase 1 * No hotspots / dots / navigation * VR content may appear only as short curated videos or stills * Full immersive systems are Phase 2 only (if at all) ⸻ PHASE STRUCTURE PHASE 1 — CORE EXPERIENCE (FAST LAUNCH) │ ├── Homepage / Landing (new) ├── Collections overview (new structure) ├── Core collections (refined, not reinvented) ├── Galleries (cleaned + positioned) ├── Press (curated, reduced) └── Access (Inquire / The List) PHASE 2 — EXTENSIONS (AFTER LAUNCH) │ ├── VR as video modules (polished versions) ├── Optional immersive (only if approved) ├── Drebinology ├── Hidden Stars ├── Books / Exhibitions ├── Special Projects deeper layer └── Any secondary / legacy sections ⸻ PHASE 1 — DESIGN SCOPE (DETAIL) DAVID DREBIN — PHASE 1 │ ├── HOME / LANDING │ ├── Hero statement │ ├── Cinematic image or short looping video │ ├── Strong first impression │ └── Controlled entry into site │ ├── COLLECTIONS │ ├── Collections overview (new system) │ ├── Limited Edition │ ├── Dream Series │ ├── Diamond Dust │ ├── Superstar Series │ └── Sculpture │ ├── GALLERIES │ ├── Representation │ └── Validation positioning │ ├── PRESS │ ├── Curated highlights │ └── Selected quotes / validation │ └── ACCESS ├── Inquire └── The List ⸻ WHAT IS NOT PHASE 1 NO INTERACTIVE VR NO FULL IMMERSIVE REBUILDS NO SECONDARY ARCHIVE SECTIONS NO FULL SYSTEM PARITY WITH OLD SITE ⸻ ESTIMATION REQUEST I need you to estimate BOTH phases. Think in systems, not pages. ⸻ OUTPUT FORMAT PHASE 1 — DESIGN ESTIMATE Working days: Hours per day: Total hours: Estimated weeks: Full redesign needed: - ... Refinement only: - ... Risks: - ... --- PHASE 2 — DESIGN ESTIMATE Working days: Hours per day: Total hours: Estimated weeks: What is included: - ... Risks: - ... --- REALITY CHECK Is this realistic: - Phase 1: 4–5 weeks - Phase 2: 2–4 additional weeks Yes / No + why ⸻ BASELINE EXPECTATION (FOR ALIGNMENT) Use this only as a reference point, not a constraint: PHASE 1 ≈ 20–25 working days ≈ 5–6 hours/day design focus ≈ 100–150 hours ≈ 4–5 weeks PHASE 2 ≈ 10–20 working days ≈ 4–5 hours/day ≈ 50–100 hours ≈ 2–4 weeks ⸻ IMPORTANT Do not assume: * that everything needs redesign * that everything stays the same Your job is to: → identify where design actually matters → reduce unnecessary work → keep the system clean and realistic Keep it direct.

Ivan how many working days and total hours do you realistically need for Phase 1 and Phase 2 based on this structure? Does 4–5 weeks for Phase 1 and 2–4 weeks for Phase 2 feel achievable, or do you see a different timeline based on the actual design workload?
//
Luxury artist brand homepage. Not a portfolio — a house. The feeling of opening a Chanel or Bottega Veneta lookbook for the first time. Cream or white ground. Large serif typography, mix of roman and italic weights. A single cinematic image — dark, atmospheric, figurative — given full authority on the page. One commanding statement in large type. Four navigation items maximum, small and restrained. No grid, no thumbnails, no categories competing for attention. The first impression should be: this person is serious, established, and not trying to impress you. The work speaks. Everything else is quiet. Reference: Fabian Baron editorial direction, Art Basel publication design, the visual language of a sold-out artist who doesn't need to explain himself.
April 20, 2026
[team mention] [team mention] Arseni and Mirjana I think these time quite realistic, but we know David. I think all these working hours will be split in longer time period: ————————————————— PHASE 1: ≈ 20–25 working days ≈ 5–6 hours/day design focus ≈ 100–150 hours ≈ 4–5 weeks PHASE 2: ≈ 10–20 working days ≈ 4–5 hours/day ≈ 50–100 hours ≈ 2–4 additional weeks ————————————————— Lets add +1-2 weeks for each phase. PHASE 1: 5–7 weeks PHASE 2: 3–5 additional weeks. I think this because we know what the client will be busy, and will not answer us fast every time. One such pause may take just 1-2 days, but in the end many such pauses will move launching date. We can not blame David, because David can not be online every minute. We just need to remember about real situations, and deadlines. Also about generated design direction by David. It may looks like something what will save our time. But here we get two things 1) We save time with searching design directions, 2) We will spend more time to try fit generated style in real design. Not sure we will save so much time here.
Васисуалий I read so much info about this
i am not sure what does david want in phase 1
only rework of landing page?
Reply to earlier message
No, rework about half of the website. The most important half. Home page included in this first half.
PHASE 1 — CORE EXPERIENCE (FAST LAUNCH) │ ├── Homepage / Landing (new) ├── Collections overview (new structure) ├── Core collections (refined, not reinvented) ├── Galleries (cleaned + positioned) ├── Press (curated, reduced) └── Access (Inquire / The List)
PHASE 1 — DESIGN SCOPE (DETAIL) DAVID DREBIN — PHASE 1 │ ├── HOME / LANDING │ ├── Hero statement │ ├── Cinematic image or short looping video │ ├── Strong first impression │ └── Controlled entry into site │ ├── COLLECTIONS │ ├── Collections overview (new system) │ ├── Limited Edition │ ├── Dream Series │ ├── Diamond Dust │ ├── Superstar Series │ └── Sculpture │ ├── GALLERIES │ ├── Representation │ └── Validation positioning │ ├── PRESS │ ├── Curated highlights │ └── Selected quotes / validation │ └── ACCESS ├── Inquire └── The List

let's do this font style as he requested
Reply to earlier message
Ivan does this change hourly estimates ? :
The biggest one: inner pages are not a redesign. David said this multiple times across both calls — "I love the way all these sections already look. I just don't like the homepage." And: "I don't wanna change the way any of these sections look." This changes the design scope considerably. Ivan is not redesigning Galleries, Press, The List, or collection inner pages — he's designing a new homepage, a new nav system, a new collections overview, and then writing tech sheets for reprogramming what already exists into the new structure. That's a different and lighter Phase 1 design job than what we estimated. What this means for the canvas: Homepage hours stay heavy — it's the real design work Galleries page, Press, The List hours come down — closer to "spec existing + integrate video" than "design from scratch" Tech sheets may actually go up — because documenting "reprogram this exactly as it is but in a new CMS structure" requires precision Other confirmed decisions from the calls that update the handover doc: Stats/counters: officially dead, David called them cheesy on camera VR sections removed: Flirting With Danger, Chasing Paradise, Collector's Edition — confirmed gone, not deferred "The Collections" preferred over "Collections" — minor but confirmed Video on Galleries: 20-second loop, no play button, no dots — confirmed "Step inside" copy on Galleries — David approved it Copy: David writes it himself, one sentence per section In Conversation (podcast rename) — David wants it but unclear if Phase 1 or 2 Special Projects — David still wants it but placement unclear
easier to read from a screenshot ? -

see "carried over" labels Ivan
Reply to earlier message
Typography, and layout. If we hide menu columns when we see any portfolio, we show content in bigger size, and with bigger empty space around. It will looks different. maybe we will correct some details for that Also, I just talked with Mirjana, and I think we can try to combine press and news (and maybe even podcasts). These sections is different content about same things - David activities, and publications. Maybe we can make it simpler and better. But this is phase 2, and we can discuss this later, when phase 1 will be launched.
in case you didn't read enough of David's rant about the website here is what he added to WA group haha

[team mention] Васисуалий
Ivan for the proposal to David, I want to separate design work from tech sheet work as two distinct deliverables. Roughly what percentage of your total hours on this project is pure design versus writing tech sheets? Something like 60/40 or 70/30? Just a rough split is fine

we done yet:)??
Done in perception and imagination! In reality - starting tomorrow
based on our evening call [link redacted] on thursday :
============================================================ WEBSITE CLEANUP — ACTION EXTRACTION (DREBIN CALL) ============================================================ CORE PRINCIPLE ------------------------------------------------------------ → "Less is more" → Reduce site by ~50% → Shift non-core work → CONTENT (not WEBSITE) ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. FULL SECTION REMOVALS ------------------------------------------------------------ REMOVE: - Dream Series (entire section) - Possibly Dreamscapes (implied reduction / merge) - Potentially Drebinology (or reduce heavily) ------------------------------------------------------------ 2. DREAM SERIES STRATEGY ------------------------------------------------------------ ACTION: - Do NOT keep as a section - Select ~5 strongest images ONLY - Place them into existing "Settings" / Limited Edition MOVE: - All remaining Dream images → Dropbox - Use as: → Instagram content → Video content (montage / reels) → Team content pool OPTIONAL: - Create 1 video montage from entire Dream Series ------------------------------------------------------------ 3. DIAMOND DUST CLEANUP ------------------------------------------------------------ REMOVE specific works: - High Rise NYC - Spotting Rose - Sleepless in New York - Double Trouble - Triple Threat (+ possibly 1–2 more) KEEP: - Dripping with Love PRINCIPLE: → Remove dark / non-selling / unclear images ------------------------------------------------------------ 4. LIMITED EDITION CLEANUP ------------------------------------------------------------ REMOVE / REPLACE: - Breaking News - New York City Taxi - Tuscan Dream (optional) - Naughty Nights - Hidden Sparkle - Invite Only - Flirt Alert ADJUST: - Escape to Lake Como → change wall to WHITE REPLACE STRATEGY: → reuse interiors / backdrops → insert stronger images (incl. Dream selections) ------------------------------------------------------------ 5. GLOBAL STRUCTURE CHANGE ------------------------------------------------------------ - Remove ~4 sections total - Reduce number of artworks drastically - Focus on strongest, most "sellable" images ------------------------------------------------------------ 6. CONTENT STRATEGY (IMPORTANT SHIFT) ------------------------------------------------------------ MOVE OUT OF WEBSITE: → non-core artworks → experimental / older work MOVE INTO: → Instagram → videos → team content production ------------------------------------------------------------ 7. GALLERY STRATEGY INSIGHT ------------------------------------------------------------ - Galleries are RANDOM → unreliable - Website must create perception: → "represented globally" → even if reality is weak ------------------------------------------------------------ 8. BRAND POSITIONING ------------------------------------------------------------ REFERENCE MODEL: → Saint Laurent (minimal selection) EXECUTION: - Few artworks - High clarity - Strong identity - No overload ------------------------------------------------------------ 9. VIDEO (DREBINOLOGY) ------------------------------------------------------------ ACTION: - Cut ~50% of videos - Keep only strongest - Possibly remove section entirely ------------------------------------------------------------ END ============================================================

The homepage line stays as is: Limited Edition Artworks available through select galleries worldwide. Three reasons: 1. It’s already the brand line. This phrase lives in the Instagram bio, the newsletter, and now the homepage. Consistency across surfaces is what builds a brand. Rolex doesn’t rewrite Perpetual every time it appears — they keep saying it. We do the same. 2. It reads as a confident statement, not a sales pitch. It tells the collector what the work is (limited edition artworks), how it’s distributed (select galleries), and the scale of demand (worldwide) — without ever asking for the sale. That’s the Drebin posture. State the fact. Let the work do the rest. 3. The italics are doing real typographic work. Available and worldwide are italicized for a reason — they’re the words that breathe. Available signals access. Worldwide signals reach. Italicizing them gives the line cinematic rhythm and movement, the way a film title sequence holds certain words longer than others. It also ties the homepage typography to the rest of the brand, where italics are used as a signature emphasis. Above the hero, Collected Worldwide. Since 2004 sits as the quiet credibility marker. Below, the offer reads in full. The homepage doesn’t need to sell. It needs to declare. This does both. — DD
[team mention] pls create a Dropbox Paper doc: "DAVID DREBIN — 2026 Website Copy Master" [link redacted] One section per page (Homepage, Superstar Series, Lenticular, Sculpture, Neon, Galleries, Press, Bio). Each section has: one-line, body, price, status (DAVID TO WRITE / READY / APPROVED). I'll send you the pre-approved lines to fill in first. Deadline: doc live and shared with David by tomorrow Monday by 3pm

Let’s change this too:
We change the word “available” to “collected”
The Drebin Slogan Limited Edition Artworks collected through select galleries worldwide. Why this line is the brand: • One word changes everything. Swapping available for collected shifts the posture from offering to acquisition. Available is a door. Collected is a verdict. One waits to be chosen — the other has already been chosen. • It puts the collector in the active role. Available makes us the seller. Collected makes them the buyer. The collector is doing the verb. That’s a more confident frame, and it’s the truth — they’ve been choosing the work for twenty years. • It’s earned, not claimed. Collected is a track record, not a marketing word. Twenty years, multiple continents, gallery and private collections worldwide. The line is a fact, not a pitch. • It echoes across the brand. Collected Worldwide already lives at the top of the homepage. Putting collected in the tagline turns the whole presence into a single repeating note — same word, same truth, every surface. • It works on every channel. Homepage, Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletter, gallery decks, press releases. One line, said the same way, everywhere. That’s how a brand becomes unmistakable. Rolex doesn’t rewrite Perpetual every time it appears. We don’t rewrite this. • It sells without selling. No exclamation, no urgency, no adjectives. The line states the facts and lets the collector draw the conclusion. That’s the Drebin posture — state it, don’t sell it. Lock it in across every surface. No variations. No rewrites. — DD
DD CALL — APRIL 26 — DECISIONS & ACTION ITEMS COPY LOCKED • "available" → "collected" everywhere. 5 places on current site, change immediately. • Tagline final: "Limited Edition Artworks collected through select galleries worldwide" — "collected" and "worldwide" in italics • Above hero, small: "Collected Worldwide. Since 2004." COLLECTION ONE-LINERS — APPROVED BY DAVID • Diamond Dust: Seduction in every shimmer. • Superstar Series: Goddess suspended in light, beauty, and the moment before it disappears. • Lenticular: The Magic of Lenticular. The way you move, everything changes. • Sculpture: Mysterious, cinematic, and a little dangerous. • Neon: The words we think but never say. DESIGN • Black site, white type — confirmed • Slideshow: slightly faster than current version • No hats anywhere — existing logo with hat is retired • David in action ok for sizzle reel but no hats • Sizzle reel: mix of special projects, settings, exhibitions • VR dot navigation — removed BIO • David writes it himself, delivers in 1–2 days • Focus: 75+ solo exhibitions, 200+ art fairs, city names, glamour • 150 words or less. No Parsons mention. TESTIMONIALS • Source: Interview Magazine, Flaunt, Collectors Edition book • Include publication logos • Mira to locate existing files

.At the heart of Drebin’s creative vision lies a slightly surreal, cinematic style that transforms the familiar into something extraordinary
or this?
To immerse oneself in David Drebin’s work is to embark on a journey where the boundaries between fantasy and reality dissolve.
No not good enough

Only the best of the best
No one cares about “Sleek” lol

Nope

New site is gonna be so fantastic just like you bossss
Flaunt - There's something strangely beautiful about that moment between a dream and reality—the place where who we are and who we want to be get all tangled up like mismatched lovers. David Drebin has captured this feeling.

Ivan David we’re adding a small optional step after the inquiry form to improve email deliverability and make sure responses don’t end up in spam. Right now, when we reply to inquiries, Gmail sometimes treats those emails as cold outreach, because from its perspective there was no prior email interaction — even though the user submitted a form. That’s why some replies are landing in spam. The solution is simple and low-friction: after submitting the form, users will see an optional button to open the message in their own email app (Gmail, Apple Mail, etc.), with everything pre-filled. If they click it, the email is sent from their inbox to us, which creates a real email thread. From that point on, our replies are treated as normal conversation and are far more likely to land in the inbox. Important: - this is optional — the form still works as usual - no data is lost — everything is already saved in the database - it only adds a second path for users who want to ensure delivery So effectively, we’re not changing the experience — we’re adding a lightweight backup that improves trust and inbox placement, especially for high-value inquiries.
[photo]
this is not enough now. There will be another button suggesting that a collector sends one more manual email message - just 1-2 extra clicks for him
this text will be auto populated for each collector -

They don’t explain themselves. They don’t justify. They don’t add text to prove credibility. They show: * product * environment * mood * control If there is text, it’s almost invisible: * “Paris” * “Since 1947” * or nothing at all

Maestro David we did a slideshow test where we mixes image and a video - [link redacted]
we want to use this fast slideshow on the homepage. We might need to reformat it for a square format. Will see on Sunday
Needs much faster transition and some sort of special effect doesn’t look right yet should be a sizzle style for opening page as this is my first impression has to be epic beyond
Only TOP images
Less BIG people
It’s not a strong slide show by any means
Transitions don’t work either
Only show me when you think it looks good
Like a chef showing me the cow before the steak:)🥩

hi [team mention], when you were selecting exhibition images for the slideshow, did David ask to use content from a particular exhibition or set of exhibitions? Did you have full freedom to select from everything we have?
did David tell you someting in WhatsApp about the slideshow content
Do you know which Dropbox subfolders contain the older exhibition content: specifically anything from a long time ago?
[photo]
where is beautiful content like this located on Dropbox ?
When you reviewed the hundreds of exhibition photos, what criteria were you filtering by?
[team mention] i just selected some quality ones mainly exhibition… to you and David to select.
Reply to earlier message
David just to confirm- only images of installs and people - not yoy?
Reply to earlier message
I think this is childish pic and would never select it
So if you think there are better images in dropbox can you prompt the Ai to select them
Reply to earlier message
AI and I do not know where they are on the Dropbox. AI out-of-the-box cannot process dozens of images. I don't know how to do it. Do you? And more importantly, we are on Dropbox? [team mention]

David Maestro, where is good-looking content like this located on your Dropbox ?
I think you impose him something he specifically does not want
as i understood he said no images of me

which is totally understandable...the video should show his works in different environments, not him playing hide and seek ;)

Very few images of me in the videos on site if any we will keep in the sections like Art Fairs and exhibitions but not in videos more about the works in setting and the press and the books and the designed invites - the house of Drebin - validation site

Validation images I need to approve all images in any new videos
All the other sections we can leave as it already is on site
Reply to earlier message
David but we do not want to limit your social content only to Palm Beach 2026? I am trying to do some inventorisation in Arseni-David folder to the best of my abilities. To see what else is relevant there
Why do we need these images anyway they are already on site
It’s not so much the content changing but the branding and categories and design
What are you using these images for exactly
I can choose the images I need to know how many and for what
Less than 5 seconds to make an impression when anyone looks at site.
May 11, 2026
[team mention] David also doesn't want image of him with hats..which is practically 90% of his exhibition images
[team mention] could you create website production schedule for DD pls so he does not get restless) ?
May 12, 2026
ok
In the other sections it’s ok I can edit images if you send to me as well will have way less images on this site
Most important are the first 5 seconds when people look at site - the opening page . Has to be WOW.
May 13, 2026
Gotta show me something soon..
Unless the team is working through the day and night on the design…
This is top priority more than anything else

[team mention] Васисуалий let's add this

No Maxim, no sleek, no foto
Not high end enough
Maxim - on the edge of being ok
Photo magazine is ok because it is classic but not FoTo I have to see then will know instantly

[team mention] Ivan yes ? :
From what David said, the approved list so far: Keep: Vogue Village Voice Forbes Daily News Flaunt Avenue A Night with the Oscars (right version — that's a strong hero) Remove: Sleek FotoHits Maxim
remove Foto but leave Photo
and also no free readings signs
[photo]

also he didn't say to remove Sleek only that it shouldn't be that big
[team mention] Васисуалий
actually in the end he says no sleek haha
[team mention] [team mention] Yes, this is just content sorting. Maybe here we just need famous magazines.

Ivan, in this version, these large spreads, they're not thumbnails. Of course, they should be from the best publications. It doesn't matter from what year. They must be the best. And if it says 1995, yeah, then it's a problem. But if it doesn't say an old year, then it's not a problem. It doesn't matter when it was published. As long as it's a great Vogue, Bazaar, interview, whatever. Make them large. When I say large, you know what I mean. Ivan
I see only one way to show it bigger
[team mention] Arseni, we can fit image in browser

but we can use AI to turn him into Brad Pitt! like 20% more Brad, pls... With long hair
May 26, 2026
based on my call with David yesterday :
Design status is genuinely positive. David is engaged and approving direction for the first time without major reversals. Real decisions came out of the call. David confirmed: Special Projects with the giant S - he loved it, then reversed. " special projects, that's it." Classic David: approves something, then talks himself out of it. The S is gone. The D for Drebinology - rejected. "Too smart, all you see is the D." Image 2 without the letter is confirmed. Gold accent color - confirmed and expanded. He wants all section headers in gold across the site. This reverses the earlier "remove gold" instinct. David explicitly chose it and connected it to the House of Drebin / oil-stamped monograph positioning. Gold stays. Typography, "Limited edition artworks" in thin delicate type. "Fantastic, love it."
To-dos for Ivan . Specific, prioritized. The giant "S" / "D" NOT approved.. Headline only, no letter. Drebinology, remove the giant D. Already confirmed the Image 2 direction. Section header colors across all inner pages - Special Projects, Drebinology, Collections, Galleries, Press - change them all to gold. Consistent site-wide. Homepage is the priority. David expects to see it in two days. Whatever version is most complete needs to be ready for me to review and approve before it goes to him. Press page - pull Sleek and FotoHits before David sees it. Already discussed. Lorem ipsum - gone from every page before any David presentation. One observation worth noting. David said "I'm loving the way the site's looking" and "it's so much better." That's the clearest approval signal since this project started. Don't show him too much at once - he's in a good mood. The homepage presentation in two days should be one strong version, not three options. Give him something to love, not something to choose between.
[photo]
Reply to earlier message
The May 25 call - David saw the "Limited edition artworks" typography and said "fantastic, love it." That one's confirmed. The full page layout with body text, pricing, and artwork below? He didn't see that. Only the typography treatment. On the gold outline typeface for LIMITED EDITION ARTWORKS - it's striking and matches what he approved. Keep that. The body copy - "Drebin's work exists in the moment before and the moment after..." - it's strong writing, should stay. But David said early in that same call that the original wording he gave everyone needs to change. So this copy likely needs updating before he sees it.
so he liked the one on the far left :

hi [team mention] Ivan
[team mention] David will hate to see TAP THAT SAAS as a podcast on position number one because it's not even a real podcast and it's outdated. I know how David thinks. But with AI in two minutes, instead of fighting David with Lorem Ipsum, put a good podcast in the beginning. It's so easy now with AI.
And you know what - even LOREM IPSUM wouldn't fix this. Someone still has to do the actual work. Put real content there, not junk "tap that Sas" That work can happen now, as we go. Waiting until the end doesn't save time.
I think all of these podcasts are small ones 😂😂

David?
[team mention] [team mention] Done in figma I removed such lorum ipsum texts for blocks and sctions
ok
I will need to see then will let you know
I don’t think so the categories will speak for themselves
Let’s simplify it and lean into confidence. The section titles are strong enough to carry the mood and positioning on their own. I don’t want explanatory copy competing with the visuals right now. Let’s first see the layouts with only the headings and spacing. We can always add minimal supporting text later if needed, but my instinct is that less is more here. The categories should speak for themselves.
May 29, 2026
[link redacted]
this is interesting in sense that we add bellow 3 sections - VR, Exhibitions and maybe News?
what do you Васисуалий [team mention] think?
or we might add Commisions, Exhibitions and VRs?
so in commisions we add all these famous people he photographed in Exhibitions we add Art Miami, Palm Beach etc and in VRs we add only the best VR?
For me this website looks like here
[photo]
looks like broken overlay
Yes something is not good but i like this idea with 3 sections below in bio
idea to put some preview with link to few another sections - not bad
galleries and museums use that
you saw some exhibitions and below more upcoming events and another srtist for example
if we will use this idea, if we will put links / thumbnails to Special projects, exhibitions, some portfolio, when we will put this? below bio? Or we can make this only in separated sections, but do not show such things at home
I don’t know maybe add Selected Exhibitions and add only big ones?
but we have no selected exhibitions
we have just section
I was thinking more like Commissions, exhibitions and news or VRs
Commissions is Special project?

All this spoils the effect with David. You must be careful. Don't give me weak content. Work as a team for content. I don't think that in a project of this size you can say, oh, this is Lorem Ipsum dummy images. Well, we're not like Arkady who uploads insects (literally bugs!) to CMS to test the CMS that client has access to.
this is very weak as a triptych -

Ivan i agree -
1. Raw Amazon URL visible in the Books section You can see it in the book description — a full [link redacted] URL sitting as plain text. That's the single most unfinished-looking element on the entire page. David will see it immediately and it reads as a draft, not a presentation. This is a 10-minute fix: replace with a clean "Available on Amazon →" text link.
and lets start with Forbes :
"Press section — Flaunt, carousel, arrows Still not fixed. Still the wrong publication, still has carousel navigation. Forbes · Village Voice · New York Magazine, static, no arrows. This has been flagged three times now. If David sees Flaunt in a slideshow format when he approved three specific static publications, it opens a conversation you don't want during a presentation."
About errors < > , I don't know, I would probably leave arrows to navigate. They are not really needed, but too small of a thing to discuss before this even is approved.

however i do not know what the point would be
what is it for? to separate projects?
Well, I know David would be excited about having his own app for desktops, but especially for iPhones. I just know how he thinks. But it's an interesting marketing tool to say, oh, we can build apps for art galleries, for artists. But I don't know what is the practical application of the app. Probably it would work faster. Probably it could work offline. If that is true, then it's already good enough reason to build an app to show artwork offline, on a plane, on a taxi, whatever. Maybe we can have much tab to check if this works offline. I don't have time for this to check.

[team mention] In our HTML document that we have to David, we have two Zoom calls every week scheduled with David. And David said, oh, come on, you're not going to have schedules with me. Yeah, but no. I actually don't understand why we don't have scheduled Zoom calls because you understand enough if we're on schedule or not. And if we've had these Zoom calls, I think you'll be happier. What do you think?
I am not happy
because I am waiting for you to show him home page
So, i showed him the homepage Friday or Saturday. He liked everything he saw. I told you, the team, and Ivan he approved it. So why isn't it happening on schedule? Especially when he might miss the scheduled time. Fine. But we're not even trying to deliver what we put in the document. Is it because he thinks our relationship is so casual that he can call me anytime and doesn't need any scheduled calls?
Let me repeat again
I can't initiate calls without you
you deal with him
I can't call him and tell him ok David here is design

I am in contact with Ivan

[team mention] [team mention] Arseni and Mirjana Updated, and mobile portfolios added [link redacted]
[team mention] Arseni Do we need to discuss such SEE MORE block with David? [link redacted] Or you approve it, and I will keep it in design?
[team mention] [team mention] Arseni and Mirjana Updated [link redacted] Now we have mobile galleries [link redacted]
seems text too small for devices
will improve now

[team mention] does the hamburger bother you here ?
[team mention] any way it stays fixed?
i was waiting for fixed menu from Ivan for 2 days
we need to increase speed. This is too slow for David and for us
project has almost no structure
Ivan where is fixed menu option that i asked for on sunday ?
Reply to earlier message
yes you are absolutely right...so let's structure it
[team mention] [team mention] Arseni and Mirjana Updated [link redacted] And galleries too
[photo]
looped video working
does it work for you?
also I updated graphics, and see we need increase font for mobile
about +25-30% for font size
or it become too small
Reply to earlier message
I miss this because we working with rest demos

What this mean? We have approved almost approved all pages for desktop
and we started mobile screens

we also need to fix the hamburger here
[team mention] Mirjana Could you show how this pages started from the beginning? And then scroll down, and how menu icon placed.
when we have URL bar at the top, on android , we have no such problem, but iOS looks different
[video]
it is moving and ruining things :)

when you start scrolling
Reply to earlier message
he means I am not doing whatever needs to be done, but I am not managing this project....I am only helping...my hands are tied here during designing process because of the specific relationship with the client :)
so this is not my structure failure :)
this was my Monday conversation with him
[photo]
and that is all i can do
pass some info about what I think Arseni plans to do
let me write plan, and current state
I think no reason for a plan
We only have home page

I mean plan, like list of finished design, and to do

Васисуалий when you click the link from another platform, for example you shared a link on telegram and [team mention] clicked on it, then it will show the url on top but when you open safari and paste the link then it will show url on botton which is the original native UI for safari

Reply to earlier message
not mobile safari
ok
I don't get it
so, seems we try to fix problem what we do not see on mobile safari
On iPhone, it may be one of these: 1. In-App Safari / Safari View Controller This is Apple’s browser sheet inside another app. Telegram, Gmail, Instagram, etc. can open a link without fully switching you into the Safari app. Apple calls the system version SFSafariViewController; it gives apps Safari-like web viewing without launching Safari itself. 2. Telegram’s in-app browser Telegram can open links inside Telegram instead of sending you to your default browser. Telegram has had settings around opening links in “In-app Safari” or the device browser. Why it looks different: Because it is not the full Safari app UI. It is a web view/browser container controlled by the app or by Apple’s Safari View Controller. So the URL/address bar may appear at the top, with a close button or “Done” button, because you are still technically inside Telegram or another app. Normal Safari is different: it follows your Safari layout settings. On iPhone, Apple lets you choose Compact, Bottom, or Top tab layout in Safari settings. That’s why when you paste the link directly into Safari, the URL bar can appear at the bottom, which is Safari’s native layout. So in your example: Telegram click → in-app browser / Safari View Controller → URL on top Open Safari manually → real Safari app → URL on bottom For testing websites with clients, treat them as two different viewing environments, even though both are using iPhone/Safari/WebKit underneath.
still don't get it
because as I said
i copied link to safari
in the bottom search bar
and it looks good
but when i open link FROM telegram issue still exists
i think i said all before the AI
:)
it is not about the link
but about telegram
Yes

this is how REAL safari looks like :)

Mira, I will also try it on my computer, but I think this will work. I will just reserve Brave browser as a secondary browser where I will be logged in under a different personal Zoom account. Then you could switch. You could use the app where you're logged in as iHouse Design, or you could use a browser where you're logged in as Mira

[development link] Hi Васисуалий please check its created and completely empty.

ok, but we need empty cms, not some directory
[photo]
cms with login
Reply to earlier message
For that you need to contact with the developer he will add the code in dev to active this cms. The directory has been created but without adding the files or code you cant get the working cms.
For example: you need index.php for the UI and then backend for user and login which developer will handle.

[team mention] [team mention] Arseni and Mirjana I finished with full design. Now we can show and approve all with David.

give me some time and i will try "Ai will create document with checkboxes? Mirjana will not spend time for this?"
Ivan, last time we spoke to David, we discussed special effects that I suggested, such as a random slideshow. I have that phone call recorded, but what next HTML demos should we build? And do you think Mohamed could help us? Because you need to be working on David Martinez and the book cover. Ivan

[team mention] Asana issue is confirmed. DD Website Redesign | 2026 is not blocked by project members. Direct members are only Mira, Arseni, Ivan, and you. The blocker is project visibility: it is shared with Everyone at [domain redacted] / public_to_workspace. Trial ended, so Asana is locking that behind paid license. I tried changing it from Arseni account/API. Asana rejected it because Arseni is editor, not project admin. Project owner/admin is Mira. Please fix from the account that made it public: 1. Open project Share / access settings. 2. Remove Everyone at [domain redacted] / organization access. 3. Make it private / direct members only. 4. Keep Mira, Arseni, Ivan, Mujtaba. 5. Add Riaan only if he needs DD website execution access now. Do not upgrade or buy Starter. Reply here when done with a screenshot of access settings. This magic needs to be documented after.
I updated links in the Paper document
[link redacted]
now we are waiting for Arseni to make something beautiful for sign off
Reply to earlier message
Mira, David will not click all these whatever, 19 links or so is too much clicking. And it's not just that David is lazy, no client will be happy to do this. So, can this be improved in a few minutes? If not, I would rather do it in Codex, in a sexy HTML page.
do it in sexy way
because adding 1 folder with all links inside will be even worse
you can use my paper as base
How is site? Taking sooooo long really need to finish! How many weeks so far??

I built a system of logs so we could see what buttons were clicked when and from what IP address. We know David is in Italy or he is in Toronto or New York or Miami, so we know where he is. That allows us to avoid the annoying logging process. We know. We'll tell him when he approved what based on the IP address.
I think he will be confused with Home sections
nothing is explained

Ivan said that the truth was his Figma, so not Dropbox paper. If I didn't understand properly, maybe, but Ivan can now correct and do whatever he wants, whatever he needs. This must not rely on me any more
i know he wants to see things visually but he also wants to know what is he looking at
Maybe Figma was the truth before but Ivan and I spent time to update my paper so we have it as base for this htlm link
Ivan, can PAPER become source of truth and not FIGMA or do we have two sources of truth? I don't know. Ivan

ok
[team mention] [team mention] Arseni and Mirjana All fine with screens here [link redacted] the only question, will we show mobile visual demos here, or, dont? [link redacted] Maybe its more for us and developers now? We already showed all in design. Will David check mobile demos on his own smartphone? Or this is not important now?

Yes we will show him all
but not today
we'll do it tomorrow
or I can send him the approval link today and we can have a call tomorrow [team mention] ?
so he has time to go through it
Hi David
Here is our approval document with every page we designed - desktop and mobile. Please go through it and we could have a call tomorrow or whenever you're available and discuss it. Also since this is interactive document Arseni designed it so you can add your revisions directly into the respective page.

Reply to earlier message
[team mention] a schedule is assigned to the work, not a coder. A coder might be hit by a bus but the work - never The sequence doesn't change regardless of who writes the code. You can date every phase right now. When the developer is confirmed, you put their name in. Arkady probably filtered himself out with his 60 days and 8? weeks. A Normal working week is 40 hours per week. 60/8 weeks = 7.5 hours a week
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] you can edit the schedule in this doc - [link redacted]
Maestro, the design is done. Right on the schedule we promised. 5-7 weeks from your deposit, all pages are in Mira's link [link redacted] Homepage ate the most design time. Everything else came early because Ivan pushed weekends Next - your sign-off, then tech sheets this week, then book dev and start the build. We are checking developer summer vacations now so I can give you real build-to-launch dates

From: Costel Carabas <[email redacted]> Subject: Re: [domain redacted] 2026 Date: June 29, 2026 at 9:39:40 AM AST To: Arseni <[email redacted]> Cc: [email redacted], Mira <[email redacted]> Hi Arseni, Is design 100% final or still doing touch-ups? When do you think we'll have the "go" decision, starting implementation? The design loos great but relatively complex - in the sense every section is quite unique. Development will take a full ~4-6 weeks from the start moment I can allocate a good full time frontend developer (Sorin) relatively soon, in a matter of 3-5 days, he's coming back from holiday on Wednesday, so he'll be working without significant interruptions the next months We could start probably ~end of this week or beginning of next, and should have a final beta version in the first half of August. We'll try as always to make partial releases so your team can review sooner Being a larger project than usual, I definitely suggest a kick-off meeting with Ivan + me + Sorin to go through screens, details and align expectations For a polished pixel-perfect product - as you expect and we can deliver - the estimate is on the upper part of the range, $4000-4500 Regards, Costel Carabas [domain redacted] new york 718 577 1226 toronto 416 900 1212
lets prepare homepage in html and see if we prepare all pages - if this recude the coding cost by 2x - 3x ?
[team mention] I am not sure why we consider Costel still when his service is the most expensive?
[team mention] I am also not sure
but Alako MIGHT be busy coding Martinez. Can he do 2 projects at once WELL ?

June 30, 2026
We don't yet know who will do HTML or David Trebin. If this goes to a developer, have you thought about transitions from one page to another? Should we put them in text sheets? Like, we're doing fade or what are we doing? Are we doing anything special? Ivan
Reply to earlier message
No, animations and transitions is not something special. If we can show good animations. And if AI create code for it, which developers can take, and save time, this will be good.
so we need some transition which will transit collection title as well
i think pan is the best
we only need to select the best images that will spark curiosity so people click :)
also we will open collection when user clicks but how will they return to home? clicking the logo or it will have Back to Home or something?

Call TODOs — David Drebin Website Speaker mapping: iPhone = David ihousedesign = Arseni lvan lvan = Ivan Mirjana = Mira --- ## DESIGN TODOs * [ ] Fix empty collection grid spaces so they look intentional. * [ ] Replace current About image of David. * [ ] Retouch the new David image Mira shared. * [ ] Create About section slideshow with 2 David images. * [ ] Correct Michelle’s name spelling to Tripodi. * [ ] Fix spelling issue David pointed out in gallery/copy text. * [ ] Confirm books/mobile scroll view once built. * [ ] Use existing VR videos for homepage/galleries instead of creating a new sizzle reel. * [ ] Test VR video layout: single video, flyover, or multiple vertical videos side-by-side. * [ ] Keep VR videos clean with no title overlays like “Collector’s Edition” or “Flirting with Danger.” * [ ] Start Dream the World book cover direction: full bleed, silver/black collector-style, woman leg/shoe image, title/publisher details. --- ## TECH TODOs * [ ] Move approved design into development/CMS. * [ ] Connect videos, galleries, graphics, images, and text to CMS. * [ ] Add fallback logic for gallery titles if custom graphics are missing. * [ ] Fix desktop spacing: location separator, line spacing, and gold text sizing. * [ ] Adjust mobile typography/spacing with larger text and line height. * [ ] Build random VR video behavior for homepage. * [ ] Prepare horizontal and mobile video formats. * [ ] Create Dream the World Monaco AI video within 48–72 hours if possible. * [ ] Fix global email display name so it does not show Michelle’s name publicly. * [ ] Remove/fix “global.” period issue. * [ ] Update David email signature to use The House of Drebin. * [ ] Create Michelle signature: Michelle Tripodi, Global Art Liaison, The House of Drebin. * [ ] Make email signature links/icons work cleanly on dark and light email backgrounds. --- ## PM TODOs * [ ] Mark website design as approved by David. * [ ] Move project into programming/development phase. * [ ] Send David updated timeline; contract says 6–8 weeks, but David wants ASAP. * [ ] Send David/team a Telegram summary of agreed changes. * [ ] Follow up with Louisa/publisher for book cover IDML/template, bleed, spine size, and printer notes. * [ ] Schedule Monday onboarding call with Michelle, David, and Arseni. Mira optional. * [ ] Prepare outreach document for Michelle onboarding. * [ ] Explain team role to Michelle: books, website, newsletter, outreach support. * [ ] Clarify Michelle workflow: newsletter results/data go to David, then Michelle handles outreach. * [ ] Decide if Michelle needs Dropbox access or only current newsletter/report data. * [ ] Assign owners for email setup, signature update, CMS work, video work, and design corrections. Call outcome: David approved the design direction, likes the fonts/colors, and wants the site completed as soon as possible.
[link redacted]
Yes — I would add these sections so nothing gets missed: ## CONTENT / ASSETS TODOs * [ ] Get final About image from Mira/David. * [ ] Retouch approved About image. * [ ] Collect final VR videos for homepage. * [ ] Confirm if VR videos need music or should stay silent. * [ ] Get Monaco / Dream the World reference from David’s Instagram stories. * [ ] Get book cover template / IDML / bleed / spine details from Louisa. * [ ] Proofread all website text before development. ## CLIENT / APPROVAL TODOs * [ ] Confirm David’s design approval in writing. * [ ] List approved design with exceptions: About image, empty collection spaces, spelling fixes, VR video behavior. * [ ] Send David clear timeline for development. * [ ] Confirm what “ASAP” means against the 6–8 week contract timeline. ## BRAND / EMAIL TODOs * [ ] Confirm final branding: The House of Drebin. * [ ] Update David’s email signature. * [ ] Create Michelle Tripodi email signature. * [ ] Fix signature spacing, icons, and dark/light email background behavior. * [ ] Fix global display-name / period issue. ## MICHELLE / OUTREACH TODOs * [ ] Schedule Monday onboarding call. * [ ] Prepare outreach document for Michelle. * [ ] Explain iHouseDesign role clearly. * [ ] Confirm Michelle only receives newsletter/report data from now forward. * [ ] Decide if she needs Dropbox access or not. ## QA / LAUNCH TODOs * [ ] Test CMS after development. * [ ] Test desktop, mobile, and tablet. * [ ] Test videos on desktop/mobile. * [ ] Test links, buttons, email forms, and galleries. * [ ] Test website speed/performance. * [ ] Confirm analytics, SEO basics, and redirects before launch.

A there a timeline for programming please?
[team mention] [team mention]
[team mention] - Ivan and I had a long strategy call in Russian, so here's the full summary in English so you have everything you need to run this and talk to David and the developers confidently. Where we are: Design is essentially done and David is reviewing it page by page (bio images, signatures, popups). More importantly — frontend development has started. That's your answer whenever David asks "have we started programming": yes, frontend is underway. How we're building it (the important shift): Ivan builds each page as an AI-generated HTML "skin" — meaning the page looks and animates exactly right, pixel-correct. Then a developer takes that skin and makes it production-solid: clean code, CMS wiring, cross-browser testing, and long-term maintenance. The point is that Ivan's skins do the hard visual part, so the developer's job becomes smaller, faster, and cheaper. Where Ivan stops and the dev starts: Ivan = visuals + behavior correct. Developer = engineering, CMS, browser-proofing, maintenance. Please help hold that line — if Ivan goes too deep into the technical/dev side, we're paying twice and slowing everything down. The pages: 13 unique pages, each in desktop + mobile. Home is built last because it's assembled from blocks reused across the other pages. Ivan is roughly a day per page. He's starting with Galleries (desktop + mobile) so you and David can see a real, working example soon. The developer decision (not locked yet): Before we pick, Ivan will hand a clean Galleries page to Arkady to honestly judge whether the AI-built code is good enough to build on. That test decides the approach. Candidates are Alako, Arkady, and Costel/Sorin — and all developer coordination should come through you, not me. I can't be fielding update requests from all of them; that's exactly what I need you to own. What I most need from you as PM: Own the schedule — keep it live and check where David Drebin actually stands ~2–3× a week. Ask Ivan for the "Phase A" page set — the pages that can launch first, before the rest. That list is what lets us give David a real timeline and even launch in stages. Handle all developer + client timeline communication so I'm not the bottleneck. Ask me anything that's unclear — I'd rather over-explain now than have you guessing.
[team mention] you can reply to David (short, answers his timeline question): David - good news: frontend development has already started, Ivan's building the pages now. We're locking the developer this week, and the moment that's confirmed I'll send you a firm build-to-launch timeline. You'll have real pages to look at very soon — Galleries first, desktop and mobile.
Ivan refactors the galleries page with Codex on high reasoning mode → shows it to Arkady → Arkady assesses whether the code is clean enough to work with. If yes, the hybrid workflow becomes POSSIBLE but NOT the only way to proceed. The 2nd way is I can connect all pages to the CMS, without a developer
July 9, 2026
So if Archi is to asses the code why not ask him to work on it? [team mention]
i mean you give one dev to asses the code so another would work on it is not good option
1. He might accept some parts of code that another would find hard to implement 2. Assessing the code could be time consuming so we must estimate the work with Archi for that 3. So why not hire him to do it all and that assessing the code would be a part of his estimate he sent which is very acceptable but we can tell him that Ivan did html to help him move faster

Because a woman you date may not be the woman you marry, so these are somewhat related things, but not necessarily - one does not always lead to the other. So why not? I don't know why not.
Choosing the developer is a parallel task to Ivan building HTML skins now and DD seeing the schedule. Choosing the developer is not a dependency on anything

Ivan could you put your beautiful galleries page, HTML page on the server for David to see? I'm against manual work. These are my moral principles. So if you want to do it manually by FTP, don't tell me because I'll get upset. Because, you know, we drive cars (own self-driving cars), you know, if you want to ride a horse and a carriage, you do it, but don't tell me.

Yes, now is a good time to discuss all of this with David. Not days before the launch.
Ivan let's decide where we put built by iHousedesign icon in a way where, because I don't want to discuss it after the launch. Let David see it. If he doesn't want it, we'll take it out. But I don't know why he would not want it.
So the idea is we place the icon without asking.
yes finally
Ivan
what about St Bart gallery?
does he want it on site?
i just checked his works are there

Also Ivan

this gallery is in New York according to google :)
That should be managed from the CMS. I wouldn't burn time now to discuss things, unless Ivan made a mistake. But, you know, Ivan copy-pastes everything from the old website. How could Ivan possibly make a mistake?
This is not on site
David sent this as additional gallery
Васисуалий [team mention] I just talked to David about website status
sent him this link

He liked it and had a few revisions
1. VR video should not show any title like "flirting with danger" or whatever, just fly over his works
2. Let's remove misspelled Unitaed states from galleries

3. Put cities everywhere instead
same for EU and UK

David will send cities where missing
That's it
Next week we will send another page
I explained him that this is frontend work and it is very important to us to do it properly and revise all in sense of font sizes, spacings, behavior, video pace etc
And he approved the video pace

Hi Васисуалий
Ivan, can you please review this ChatGPT thread and confirm whether I’m following the right direction? [link redacted] The main plan is to use Codex to copy and restructure hundreds of gigabytes of CMS content from [domain redacted] to [domain redacted] Both are on DreamHost, but the old and new CMS structures are different, so Codex would first inspect both XML files and asset directories in strict read-only mode, map the old structure to the new one, and only begin copying after everything is verified. I’m mainly looking for your approval on this direction before I run it in Codex and let it proceed.
Reply to earlier message
ok, 1 min
Reply to earlier message
No Mujtaba maybe Codex didn't know all the details. This is not hundreds of gigabytes, this is about 20 gigabytes because ignore all the useless backups that Codex found. And I hope you know that it's full of backups that must not fool you or Codex.
Reply to earlier message
Ivan help us understand what we can automate here and remember I did a similar project in visual sequencing engine where I took gigabytes of of data from dribbling s two CMSs and completely restructured it with the SQLite database on a different server. It worked well, we could go to that project and get the relevant code a bit later. Now we need to decide WHAT to do and why.

2) What specifically needs "restructuring" instead of a plain copy

David requested new CMS structure [team mention] ? why would he care ?
Reply to earlier message
Just to clarify, I am not sure where you saw that I mentioned David requested a new structure. My original point was that David asked for a new website design. The current structure was chosen by Designer Ivan, as that falls under his responsibility, and Developer Archi will take care of the coding. I am not sure why youre asking me this question "without asking Ivan, explain to us why there a new structure, not old"

[team mention]
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] this is on the same server. This SSH operation can finish in 5 maybe seconds - seconds, not minutes
i had a long call with Ivan and here is the summary :
On DD content migration we've decided: load it manually, by hand (Mujtaba) — it's a one-time job and needs restructuring into the new format, so writing/approving an AI script costs more than the ~8–10 hours of manual work; the only automation is a Codex/SSH command for the server-side CMS duplication and bulk file copy. We keep two CMSs — main (Collections / the 7 portfolios David edits) and additional (everything else, nested as /cms/additional) — because a single XML gets too big and slows the site, David and the team need to work in separate logins without conflict, and two CMSs give us 10 thumbnail size-types instead of 5. Scope is 9 sections (7 Collections portfolios + Drebinology + Special Projects); Home is assembled from other sections. Mujtaba starts now and doesn't wait for a perfect prompt — max three delegation levels (Arseni → Ivan → Mujtaba), no more approval loops. Decision record for iBrain (Rationale & Precedent format): Context: DD website content migration, old CMS → new dev CMS. Settled: loading method + structure. D1 — Method: manual load. Rationale: one-off job; not a pure copy (restructuring needs judgment); prompt-writing/approval exceeds ~8–10h manual. Automation is for repeated tasks (newsletters), not one-offs. D2 — Exception: Codex/SSH for server-side duplication + bulk copy only. Rationale: server command = seconds/reliable vs. FTP = hours/flaky. D3 — Two CMS, nested (main + additional). Rationale: (a) single XML >1MB slows the site; (b) David + team need separate logins to avoid conflict; (c) 5 size-types per CMS → 10 across two. /app is fixed by the CMS. D4 — Scope = 9 sections (7 Collections portfolios + Drebinology + Special Projects); Home is broadcast from other sections. D5 — Mujtaba executes, doesn't derive the "why." Download → restructure → load → captions from Visual Engine, no repeated errors. Architecture rationale is Ivan/Arseni's. D6 — No approval loops; start now. ≤3 delegation levels; if unsure a prompt works, hand-load. Owners: Arseni → exact paths (written). Ivan → section split, tells Mujtaba. Mujtaba → duplicate CMS via Codex, hand-load 9 sections into main. Open (not decided): temporarily split a portfolio so Collections shows 8 not 7 — Ivan to confirm. Operating principle: decide ops in ~10 min, then let strategy/relationship talk run deliberately — don't tangle them.
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] so you will have two different CMSs (like in the past). We will use both. So as you upload to one CMS, you could also upload to the second CMS. So you could work in two parallels stream, so to speak.

What the "galleries" page actually is: a hero video plus a repeating card, {image · website · phone(s) · email · city/country}, listed ~14 times across three groups (North America / Europe / UK). That's it. Structurally it is one template plus a data table. Nothing on that page is novel engineering — it's a repeater. Does that justify 4 hours per page with Arkady? Largely, no — not as recurring per-page cost. Connecting a repeater like this to a CMS is real work the first time: you define the content type (gallery: image, url, phone, email, city, region), build the loop/template, handle the region grouping and the mobile view. Call that a modest 2–4h once. But galleries 2 through 14 on the page are just data rows, and every subsequent section reuses the same templating muscle. A flat 4h on every page is the tell that the work is being redone semi-manually each time instead of templated once — and that's exactly the waste your instinct is pointing at.
from our yesterdays call :
Ivan 's instinct is right, but aimed at the wrong project Architectural risk matters only when something is both irreversible and opaque. This photography site is neither. We can open it, inspect every layer, and rebuild it It's not a nuclear submarine you examine only after it's on the ocean floor So the bar isn't whether Codex makes perfect internal decisions. The bar is whether the pages work, connect cleanly to the CMS, and feel smooth when a visitor moves between them We check the internals at each milestone, not after something breaks. Let the AI build. Keep everything reversible and visible. Spend your real judgment on the transitions the visitor experiences
Okay Ivan , so Arkady corrected the CMS connection. What's the next test you would want me to do with your real pages that you built?
but [team mention] you said at the call you will do a few pages today

[team mention] are .txt files also selectable to be uploaded ? :
[photo]
No there is no option to select or upload txt, when you click the export button it exports Image file and txt both. But cant upload
Reply to earlier message
how much faster would your work be if .txt files get uploaded and apply as captions [team mention]
Arseni, the main issue is that even if there were an option to upload the text from a TXT file, I’m not sure how the system would place each piece of text into the correct field. Some items have three different sizes, while others have only two, and there are three separate text boxes available for them. Because of this, a single TXT file may not automatically recognize which text belongs to the smallest, medium, or largest size, or which part is the title or ID. Our CMS does not have AI that can understand and organize this information automatically, so there is a risk that the text could be added to the wrong field or in the wrong order. For this content population, I think the safest and most efficient method is to continue adding the text manually. This allows me to review each item, confirm how many sizes it has, and place every piece of text into the correct box.
Reply to earlier message
Ivan pls propose a solution
Reply to earlier message
We need to forget about AI in such cases, and do not waste time for smart solution which will take too much time. If AI solution require 20 hours, and manual solution 10 hours, we need manual solution. This content uploading not so dummy for download+upload with AI. It requite to download content from old structure, and upload in new structure. To make it easy we need something like big DB, where we can take all content and write algorithm. But building of such DB is are time wasting as I see.
you both do not understand the intent and Arkady' PHP work
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] Mujtaba You could use visual engine here [link redacted] It would improve your speed a lot
Thats the same, I need to click copy, to copy title and sizes and paste it to the notepad then text fields and then download image and upload so theres no difference. I used visual engine for another section where I need it.
also visual engine contain fixd captions
Reply to earlier message
Yes I used it.
Reply to earlier message
summary of today’s decision: We will not spend time trying to automate the portfolio migration. The expected time savings are too small compared to the effort required. Each portfolio has different content structures (single images, pairs, videos, slideshows, grids, captions, etc.), so there is no one-size-fits-all automation. We’ll continue with the current migration approach and focus on delivering the new CMS. Minor caption or formatting issues can be fixed afterward with a quick review of the final XML instead of adding more complexity now. We should only automate repetitive, highly standardized tasks where the ROI is clear. This migration is not one of them.

Maestro David we changed typography a BIT here : [link redacted]

if you have any comments, pls let me us know today when i call or tomorrow
You like this type?
yes
it is large enough to be readable on mobile
INQUIRE draws attention to itselg
Then ok but please correct title:)
Whatever the big boss says my Art Daddddy

we use dummy words for type but it is all correct in the CMS when it is live
Ivan do we delegate Meta info population to [team mention] ?

Reply to earlier message
this is NOT a Galleries page. OR we decide to make these automatic Meta names Ivan
then we do NOT need to manually add them via CMS

"Checked the live pages. The title is actually fine now — <title>HOME | David Drebin</title>, not "Galleries." What you saw was Telegram falling back to a stale CACHED preview."
Reply to earlier message
Ivan в шаблон страниц надо добавить, чтобы это было во всех страницах сразу: — og:title = то же, что <title> — og:url, og:type=website, og:image (одна дефолтная картинка) — <meta name="description"> — поле, которое можно задать per page Сейчас og:title и description пустые на всех страницах, поэтому при отправке ссылки в мессенджер превью пустое. И заголовок домашней лучше не «HOME | David Drebin», а «David Drebin | Limited Edition Artworks».
David only AFTER the launch and ONLY if you think it looks better we can put all closecut neons on black background like in this demo

as opposed to :

Not on black
Too hard to see
ok
I will be editing down a lot of these works too and adding the new ones I hope to be finished with Dan in two weeks. Jpgs for the book by end of day Wednesday
editing down a lot of these works ——> in the CMS ?
I can do this. Turn them off. I will do this same time we add all the new works which will need to be in settings (some and settings we have used before ok) and others in Dream Series
August 3, 2026
David could you please ask Dan to fix these images for About section
[link redacted]
These are super Low res. Top image needs no work. I think we can just do as images from Art Miami especially the one we use on newsletters

David as I informed you days ago, the launch date is September 10
Yea l know
David said "The sizzle could be a revolving of the top ten Drebinology videos including VR" - for the website intro
how would they be formatted for horizontal website and could this look good Ivan [team mention] ?
Or we use VR
VR does not have impact like this, in this format :

[link redacted]
but lets see if we can replace it with (initially) mute Drebinology videos
Sorry I don’t like these 3 frames
lets discuss with David on a Zoom call
When can you be available for a call David ?

[team mention] Mujtaba Please speed up DD dev website content update. Tomorrow/at thuesday we planning to finish with website. We need uploaded content as soon as possible.
August 17, 2026
[team mention] Mujtaba Please do not swap titles and publishers in Press
[photo]
[team mention] [team mention] Arseni and Mirjana I finished main work with connection of all sections [development link] I still want to polish some details, but now we can test it. And we still need to finish content uploading. Also I will update some content tomorrow.
August 19, 2026
I can not recreate bio, which has some problems now
I think we need to remove all wrong content
and do not uplaod all
if we know what we need only selected PRESS content, then lets sort content, and remove all
lets do not contain wrong content
I think we need to stop with brainless reuploading content
I tired to push it harder I am getting error message, I tired to finish it today some images from BOOK section is left that will take not more than 30 minutes to upload and NEWS is still left there were 567 images i have uploaded around 170-180 still more than half is left but if the problem is solved in next 3-4 hours I will try to finish it by tomorrow
[team mention] Mirjana Do we really need 567 images in PRESS?
[team mention] let me ask David
David do we really need to add over 500 images into new press section
let's have a selection of what you really want to show on your site
same for press, news, and rest
do we have press and news from 20 years ago?
maybe last 10 years at least
and maybe this is too much
we could maybe have a section Archive and add all press and/or news there?
on dropbox - yes
not in cms
i mean on site
I checking now - only press section is 450 mb
Reply to earlier message
why? and for what?
David the same is with News
too big
lets sort it, and do not upload so much iamges, if we know, they all will be turned off
nobody need 450 mb of images in press
cms just stuck
if he wants to show all of his news and press stuff
Reply to earlier message
we already know what we will sort all , and leave only best and important
we do not need all
we make new website to show less, and only important content
ok
I downloading 450 mb of press to dropbox archive
and lets clean cms
ok, Press content are downloaded to dropbox
lets define only godo content, and remove all rest
[team mention] Mujtaba Stop to uplaod content, we need to clean cms first
[photo]
I can not even delete one bio image and replace with new
[team mention] Mujtaba If cms allow, leave only one article in PRESS - my example with Dan's paper. All rest should be removed.
[team mention] Arseni, maybe we need to split cms fro drebinlogy and special projects too?
does it make sense?
Васисуалий but we do not add videos in cms for drebinology
also
let's select best ones and add themž
to vimeo
problem not with vimeo
in portfolios we have about 300+ images
but these images for all 7 portfolios
if we upload 450mb of images in press
press is additional, not main section
cms stucking
Ok i know
We should not work in order - Upload 1000 images - Remove old and weak - leave 200+ images We should follow this - Sort the content - Upload only selected 200+ images - Do not waste time for 800 rest images which will be removed
the only question, how we can clean cms now
i hope we can clean it, without recreation from the scratch
can you give me link to cms press pls
yes, but it will not work, you need to enter from root level [development link]
[team mention] [team mention] [team mention] I downloading data_cms now
as backup
let me download it
ok
and then we cna clean cms
separated cms with portfolio images [development link] here about 250+ images
and this is same server
but it working much faster and much better
[photo]
downloading 8 min left I think 8 min is wrong, maybe it will take 15-20 min in the final time
[team mention] [team mention] [team mention]
ok so i still can't log in?
let me download data_cms
you can login, but if you will try to remove something it may interrupt downloading [development link]
or brake someting
i will not remove anything
cms is used by someone from unknown location
Check now I just logged out [team mention]
ok
is this me or?
[photo]
too many same named folders
I have problems with opening folders
my web says this cms is using 110 MB of memory
Reply to earlier message
All names are different. Thats not the issue.
[photo]
I know that is not the issue only it is strange
David when you find time pls just cross things from here you do not want on new site
[link redacted]
also from here
Explain
[link redacted]
there are over 500 images from press only
and when we add them all the cms is torturing
slowing down all
so we thought to make a selection of what you want to add and what you do not want to add
right Васисуалий
David I remember, we planned to sort content from PRESS, NEWS, and maybe IN CONVERSATION The main idea to hide all not good enough content, and leave only the most famous, important, and interesting content about you and your work. We planned to show less, but the best. Now we need to sort the content for these sections.
Yes I agree! Can you send me what you rant to delete?
Only the best of the best we keep and past ten years ago
Same with news
Unless very impressive press!
But news - only last 10 years is that ok?
Can you go to news and screenshot things you don’t want on the new site
David
No can you please
Reply to earlier message
No,, we will prepeare interface for fast sorting
Arseni just explained how to make that
Aha ok
August 20, 2026
Can we please replace this setting again

Mira?
August 21, 2026
[team mention] [team mention] [team mention] Arseni, Mirjana, Mujtaba I officially restored all content, and added a small amout of test content [development link] Website relinked with new working cms. Lets never to use Ai for any content uploading to cms. We can use AI to download anything fast, its ok, but not uploading. in cms. I think 1000+ lines in xml/json are mixing of disconects and Ai repeating. This brake xml and cms become dead. No any brainless uploading anymore. We can not repeat this mistake again. We still need to choose, and approve content for PRESS, IN CONVERSATION, and NEWS. And we will upload selected content manually (only manually). With input data in right way. I talked about 1 billion times "do not use specific symbols in cms folder names, it brake url and path", but I see a lot of such things in downloaded news. We should avoid this mistake forever. Arseni the follow things left: - Testimonials - Updated books images - Books on home page - Inquire code - Sign up code - See more block - Choose and approve content for Press, News, Podcasts
and testing too
I thought we would finish all this at passed week
but we wil finish these on next week

[team mention] Ivan covers of which books can you not find for our video ? Also can they now be easily generated with GPT / Gemini ?
Reply to earlier message
Arseni We need these covers: Dreamscapes Beautiful Disaster The Morning After Room with a view But only if AI can take it without changes, because covers will be used in full size. All Ai changes will be visible, and we need to avoid AI mistakes..
so try it and see if AI can do it. Usually it can do a great hib easily ?
Aleksandar will try something else
he will send updated video in 1 hr max
[team mention] Mirjana Could you try this? I working with book now.

also Ivan these frames are changes very FAST so nobody would see small visual inconsistencies
let's see what Aleksandar will do
[team mention] Ivan David said yesterday that he wants a sound icon for the intro so Ivan will build it but maybe we just get more time for the website launch because I don't know maybe we move it to Saturday if David doesn't mind but can we can we where are we gonna get music for this intro video?

so why this design change?

Reply to earlier message
We will not show podcast covers
I think we have no time for content soring now
Lets take last 20 posts, last 20 articles, and 20 last podcasts, and do not use AI, because I think AI make previous cms mistakes. We can sort and update rest content later. 20 last content blocks should not take a lot of time.
Hi [team mention] what is the plan by the hour of the old content being pushed to the new CMS and what time we show the site to David ?

[team mention] is the storage issues solved?
David we need to move the site launch to Sunday. The book is the harder deadline right now: Luisa needs the interior files, and I'd rather Ivan spend tomorrow on that than on a rushed launch Sunday gives us a clean site and keeps the book on track.
Васисуалий ?
So as I understand now we have storage issues on the server
and despite our efforts we still face problems with uploading files
[team mention] what is the practical solutin here?
should we upgrade plan for now and downgrade when we remove old site?
I deleted unnecessary backups but still facing the uploading issue.
the only solution we have is to upgrade to the next tier
[photo]
[image]
is it good now?
Васисуалий [team mention] $70/month is what David is paying right now, and next tier is $140/month
but we can downgrade the next month?
what is the size now - i see here he pays 4gb
and what is unlimited websites if we can have 2 :)
We need to launch the new site and fully retire the old one from the server. David’s current site is using a huge amount of storage, so once the new site is live, we should move the old site backup to the PC server or Google Drive and remove the old site data from the server. After that, we should be able to downgrade the hosting plan quite easily.
Reply to earlier message
Unlimited means you can host so many sites but storage is limited.
which contradicts each other
:)
Reply to earlier message
business tactics.
Could we consult sys admin?
Hendra
Yes but we need to wait for more 7-8 hours as Hendra will come online later.
it will be 5 am in my country
Mujtaba let's explain him now what we need and give him credentials to check and free space
6am in mine.
we can't talk about this for days
I was uploading the things.
if he finds that we cannot free up some good amount of space
we go to plan b
upgrade
And still we need to uploading data on NEW Dev site too.
yes i know
if we load more data then the issue will come again, and we will end up cleaning the storage.
lets add hendra here ?
I can't add anybody
I think only Arseni can
and you :)
Hi [team mention], David’s DreamHost is having storage issues again. Both the live and dev sites are on the same server, and uploads are now failing. I already cleaned about 27 GB. Can you safely free up more space without deleting anything important, or do we need to upgrade the server?
Yes of course
I need a newsletter next Tuesday too for Art Fair in nyc will send you images and art fair info now
David 7 interiors or image+interior for eblast?
I sent you email
Whatever looks best but we need the design for the contessa x I love New York and location and dates
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] we have a great technical team - [team mention] and [team mention] - i do not deal with storage because i do not have time for admin work
Reply to earlier message
why 27 GB is not enough if you freed it up [team mention] ?
Reply to earlier message
how much is to upgrade his server [team mention] ?
Reply to earlier message
Because we still need to add more files to the dev site, upload new interiors and images to the live site, and add files to the inventory, and everything is hosted on the same server. The storage will fill up again and we’ll have to repeat the cleanup.
Reply to earlier message
Currently David is paying $70 and next tier is $138 in USD
Also Hendra suggested to purchase a cdn ad-on that is $10/month [link redacted]
[team mention] do we have your approval to upgrade the dreamhost server for David ?
Once the Dev site is completed and live, we will downgrade again.
Reply to earlier message
yes [team mention] do it bot on a monttly basis so we can easily downgrade later
how will cdn help us ?

and tasked Mujtaba to fix it
either way we will add 2026 in new site
as for images in slide show
this one

how about these images?

No Oliver Cole
Art Miami and Art Palm Beach videos were the best from this year
I need to just see the slideshow with all the books and invites too

Yes

only horizontal now
and we are in process of doing mobile version

Maybe Mujtaba did not copied date like rest text. We need just copy full text of post, including date, or any other things below the header.
in news date is added separately
maybe that is why he didn't add it
but
how he can add it here?
Need just copy date from news post, and add at the beginning, above main text content.
Litteraly like it looks on website side

post text included date, if we need to show it

This is not connected to sheets yet, I tired to test the inquiry but nothing went to the sheet. [link redacted]
David let us update you on the tasks
Luisa has the DREAM THE WORLD files and has started checking them. We corrected the text, quotations, index and missing font. We are rebuilding the world map at a much higher resolution and fixing another full-page image that is not sharp enough. We also redesigned the plane intro page with better typography and a hand-drawn line. Luisa told us gold foil will not work on the paper, so she is checking the gold and silver options with the printer. We also added hundreds of Press items to the website. Now we are fixing missing names and dates, removing weaker pieces and choosing the best News. Exhibitions and Art Fairs will become one section, with 2024–2026 updated. The homepage video is being improved for desktop and mobile, and Marko is testing the website in detail. We are also designing the Contessa Gallery x I ❤️ New York newsletter. So even when it looks quiet, the book, website, video and newsletter are all moving.
Thanks Bossssss
I will have all the settings by tomorrow am for the new works
Ok

Breaking news we already have in limited editions

maybe it was just for one post?
i did this and my time should not go to production

he cleared his cache to see my work
sorry
what you did last night :)
better?
I wonder
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] - production tickets go to [team mention] and some to Ivan, not to me. I uploaded the news at midnight only because otherwise nobody would have (and there weeks for this!), but that's not my level of work
what is number 8 - Reel Images?
Anything that needs fixing on the site is their ticket - you track it and also hire help when needed such as Marko and others
Go to the notes I don’t know right now this was all sent before
Arseni
can you give me updated link to news?

no i removed hundreds of empty lines - not one post

David we will turn off all news where I do not like how they look like this one :
[photo]
without discussions because we cannot discuss hundreds of news. Unless we agree on criteria that is not only visual
// David i do not like this visually -
[photo]
so do we 1) lose it (and many others) or 2) look for logos (to use INSTEAD of images) manually for dozens of such cases. Here is one logo
[photo]
time is running out so i think we lose them for now and we can discuss after the launch

Arseni removed emojis
[team mention] [team mention] Mirjana and Mujtaba Tell me when you will finished with neons. I will make extended neons, which will have bigger white area, and will match interior
Reply to earlier message
I think we need emojis. If David add emojies in posts, we need to keep it. Also news support emojis and they will be visible, if we add them in cms..
David agreed I think that we remove them
ok
anyway, if David will add them again, they will work
I will not remove emoji support, just in case
Васисуалий we have a problem with the Image box size on Dev site which is why the images are not showing properly on NEONS interior. The core problem is that the DEV Neon slideshow is using the first image to define the box size, then forcing the second image to fill that box with object-fit: cover. When the second image has a different proportion, it gets enlarged and cropped—sometimes by more than 50%. What needs to be fixed is: - Give every Neon artwork the same outer image/slideshow box size so the collection looks consistent. - Inside that box, use object-fit: contain for every image, not cover, so the entire image is always visible and its natural proportions are preserved. - Do not let the first image determine the box ratio for the second image. The current JavaScript explicitly takes the ratio from slides[0], which is why different-shaped second images are being cropped. - Center images inside the common box. If an image is narrower or taller, there should simply be some empty space around it rather than stretching or cropping it. - Avoid forcing very small source images to enlarge unnecessarily. For example, one BIG HEART image is only 222×184, so enlarging it to roughly 680 px will make it blurry. So visually the goal should be: Same-size boxes for every Neon artwork, but each image keeps its original aspect ratio and fits completely inside the box without cropping, stretching, compressing, or unnecessary enlargement. The current bad behavior is: Box shape = first image Second image = forced to cover that box Result = cropping/enlargement The correct behavior should be: Box shape = one consistent Neon-specific size Every image = contain, centered Result = equal-looking layout with complete, undistorted images This should be a Neon Collection–only CSS/JS fix, so the other collections are not affected.

[team mention] Mujtaba this is not problem. I will make updated neon images.

will rewrite automatically like this :
The House of Drebin welcomes Michelle Tripodi as Global Art Liaison, a new role created to deepen the relationships surrounding the work. After years at Galerie de Bellefeuille, Michelle brings the discretion, precision and personal attention required to guide collectors, advisors and galleries with clarity and care. As a dedicated point of contact, she will help collectors explore limited-edition photographs, lightboxes, diamond dust works, neons and sculpture; coordinate viewings and acquisitions through select galleries; and ensure that every conversation feels considered from first inquiry to final placement. Her appointment reflects a simple belief at the heart of the House of Drebin: collecting art begins with trust, grows through meaningful connection and should carry the same intention as the artwork itself.
not manually since we have over 100 news

September 14, 2026
[team mention] Why did you show to DD images in Exhibition slide that do not exist there? Mujtaba uploaded approved images
why showing images with hats?
They never existed in design
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] no DD with hat in cms. Only images from recent exhibitions. Not sure why showing these unapproved images. The idea was to show DD's work in shows and not DD. But if David wants images of him in shows we have some other then these to add
[team mention]
there is a ticket way overdue
could you pls do this and inform on results
[photo]
Reply to earlier message
i was not part of the approval process and that is fine. We just revisit it now in an open dialogue
Reply to earlier message
that is fine - design and content are SEPARATE
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] because images without the hats are boring and lacking
Not true
Everything was clear from beginning. Yes me in shows but only recent ones where I don’t have hat. If you are not sure send me images to approve or not approve
I have recreated myself visually so I want to show more of that to than hat shots from ten years ago
This is a 3rd party validation site too that was always the main goal!
I know
Reply to earlier message
I think these are very good images Maestro, David even though you have a hat. These images add variety we need :
[photo]
[photo]
Yes
These show the chronology of how I evolved
That is important!
History makes credibility
Only the best
But yeah these are great
[video]
why is video cropped?
maybe I made fullbleed
I will tur it to fit behaviour
this is original

yes
and agin the same question i've been asking for months
why so huge part?

[team mention] [team mention] [team mention] All neons are done [development link]
do we have interior for this?

It doesn't show
or it isn't fixed yet?
Ivan it is some interior that DD wanted to leave
I posted above
[photo]
yes
because original interior 200x300 px
let's upscale it?
upscale this tiny thumbnail? [development link]
so what to do?
get original bigger version, (if we have it) and upload it in cms
or leave single neon without 200x400 thumbnail upscaled
as I said above
I only found that one in DB
neon and interior in one
I found bigger version

David we will assume this design adjustment is approved
Yeah
David Can we expect interiors today?

not you
you told me tech guys can do it
See the SuperStar series too [development link]
Reply to earlier message
Why we cna not just paste date at the beginning of each news post?
because in old cms dates are separate
with a little calender you chose the date from
Reply to earlier message
the best chanse to move it in text, and avoid calendar work
no dates in posts
[image]
like here
if you sure we need separated date, I will add it as separated thing in cms
no we don't need
this is good
but i just said that dates couldn't be copied from old cms because of being separate thing
Alako's code
yes, but we can take it from website, right?
yes
that is the solution
ok, so we will manage date in text block, without additional interface
[photo]
let's fix this video
as we discussed
don't start from beginning
ok, I will cut the beginning
Both are fixed.

ok let's continue :)
I think faster people have zero patience

thsi few words, will make problem on desktop
Reply to earlier message
codex can easily maintain 2 versions for this most important text of this website
I will find are solution
Ivan, so that's why I was thinking, isn't it faster to do it in Figma than to play with codex and think how we're gonna do a branch of code, one for mobile, one for desktop. But if David approves it, then you could do coding in the codex, but it's up to you.
and why is it bad to have 2 lines on desktop too ? :
[photo]
not a clean long line ?
I think we need to follow rules - if we make big changes, we will make design first, in figma - If we correct details like WORLDWIDE above, we need to correct it on real devices

let me try
[video]
Aleksandar sent corrected video
and also a version with some images zoomed out

No. I would remove the quotation marks. This isn’t being presented as a quotation attributed to somebody; it’s functioning as a brand statement/tagline. The quotes make it feel like a testimonial. Better: Extraordinary views are forever in style. I’d also consider italicizing it subtly rather than using quotation marks if you want it to feel distinct from the contact information.
Reply to earlier message
I agree
try in italic ?

Ivan would more even amount of text help design ?
we can easily edit texts

THE RICHER GEEK | UNLEASHING CREATIVITY AND HIDDEN POTENTIAL David Drebin joins The Richer Geek to explore creativity, self-belief, and the instinct to see possibility in other people. From his beginnings behind the camera to a multidisciplinary practice spanning photographs, neons, sculptures, and installations, he reflects on hidden potential, human connection, and the courage required to build a distinctive life, body of work, and enduring artistic world. | INVESTING TO WIN | FROM REJECTION TO RECOGNITION: HOW DAVID DREBIN CREATED HIS ICONIC BRAND In this conversation, David Drebin traces the distance between rejection and recognition. He discusses the early jobs, restless ambition, and unwavering belief that shaped his path from aspiring photographer to internationally collected multidisciplinary artist. The episode explores entrepreneurship, gallery relationships, personal branding, and why lasting success depends on persistence, emotional intelligence, and a vision others can freely enter. | EARN & INVEST | THE ART OF BUSINESS WITH DAVID DREBIN David Drebin speaks candidly about the business behind an artistic life: building a brand, earning trust, pricing creative work, and surviving the uncertain beginning. The conversation moves beyond the familiar idea of talent to examine discipline, relationships, self-belief, and the commercial instincts required to turn a personal vision into a body of work people genuinely want to collect. | THE VALUE OF SCARCITY | ENTREPRENEURS EXPOSED Scarcity is more than a sales device in David Drebin’s world; it is part of how desire, value, and attention are created. This conversation explores limited editions, gallery relationships, entrepreneurship, and the choices that transform images into collectible artworks. David also reflects on lifestyle, ambition, and the process of building a name that carries meaning beyond the frame. | CREATE CLARITY WITH CHARITY David Drebin discusses the clarity required to move between photography, neon, sculpture, and Diamond Dust while preserving a recognizable identity. He reflects on collaborations with brands, exhibitions across Europe and the United States, and the importance of following instinct. The result is a conversation about expansion without dilution, and ambition guided by a distinct emotional point of view. | HOW TO SELL A PHOTO FOR $100,000 TO NYC’S RICH & FAMOUS David Drebin’s career was built through conviction, rejection, risk, and an unusual willingness to keep moving. This wide-ranging conversation follows his path from commercial photography and Parsons to international galleries, collectors, and ten published books. He discusses selling an early work to Elton John, developing a recognizable visual language, and treating obstacles as material for the next chapter.

[team mention] I was thinking to do full read-only QA in phases using codex, phase 1 - for Content and Images, Phase -2 Spell check, missing content, extra spaces, no space between word. Phase - 3 Security (Password/API leakage). Phase - 4 Database/SQL codex can do all of them at once but lets not complicate it and do in phases ?

In Before They Were Famous, multidisciplinary artist David Drebin gathers his best shots of world famous celebrities, before they hit the big time whether Charlize Theron before her Oscar win or Steve Jobs before the first iPod. Limited to 1,200 copies, the book is a delightful and fascinating collection of pre-digital era Polaroids, contact sheets, and many of Drebin's most famous images before they were sold out.

that in text sections there are strange characters
could that be a problem?

I fixed some of them, working on fixing the rest. Codex is currently doing the final audit for spell check, most of the spellings, extra spaces, missing inch" symbol. Final audit because I believe this is fixed lets see codex might find something that needs to be fix.
but they are in cms not the site

Yes I know.
i saw $&%%/%$$ things like this :)
[team mention] does [development link] load well for you and maybe ask Codex to measure consitency or speed of this server ?
[photo]
Yes its loading fast. Just to be sure its not cachse I tried on incognito and edge browser
[team mention] [team mention]
[document]
The audit found several launch blockers. No website code or CMS content was changed. Critical 1. A nonempty submissions CSV is publicly accessible. 2. Several CMS upload, download, and file-writing handlers lack proper protection. 3. PHP backup source is downloadable, and the backup directory exposes a file listing. Other Priorities - 53 broken media references: three image sizes for 17 Dream Series artworks, one PRESS enlargement, and the social-preview image. - Form security: incomplete bot protection, inconsistent rate limiting, and missing delivery-retry handling. - Live migration: CONNECT currently hardcodes the development hostname and would reject normal submissions after transfer. - Testimonials: reproduced rapid-swipe overlap, cancelled-transition conflicts, and autoplay stopping after a tap. - Signup persistence: subscribing through CONNECT does not suppress the homepage popup. - Responsive layouts: PHP and JavaScript disagree about mobile/desktop selection; the 1024 px policy needs unification. - Retina/loading: improve image selection, avoid duplicate downloads, and prevent failed requests from silently removing home blocks. - CMS/accessibility/SEO: address hardcoded editorial copy, incorrect metadata, modal keyboard focus, and source/bundle inconsistencies.
Васисуалий i already mentioned that one book has text on site
but that folder with text in cms is empty

Are you still inside additional cms ?
I did logout [development link] Check, maybe you will find way to fix that
[team mention] could you enable DreamHost/Bunny CDN on [domain redacted], but whitelist only media, images and fonts initially. That directly addresses the video without interfering with active code development. DreamHost explicitly recommends this include/exclude approach for custom and hybrid sites. DreamHost setup instructions, non-WordPress cache configuration.
then video will lost faster i think

Maestro David we are rewriting all texts automatically to make them longer like this :
Ten years deserves a little sparkle. As Art Angels marked its first decade in Beverly Hills, Flaunt Magazine turned its attention to the gallery, while David Drebin’s Diamond Dust Collection gave the anniversary an appropriately luminous backdrop. The works introduce another way of looking: light catches the surface, bringing a different presence to an already charged image. It is a fitting meeting of occasion and artwork—an anniversary in a city accustomed to spectacle, and photographs that leave plenty happening just beyond the frame.

Seen around the world in the most prestigious fairs and private collections worldwide David Drebin has been exhibiting his Limited Edition Artworks in the finest galleries worldwide for over 20 years. Drebin is widely acclaimed for his poignant artworks that evoke a unanimously awe-struck response from his global audience and highly collectible works also known as “Drebins.” To celebrate their 10th anniversary as a gallery and even longer-standing partnership with the artist, Art Angels is proud to present David Drebin’s solo exhibition in tandem with his latest book release “Flirting With Danger,” aptly named double-entendre that intriguingly marries sensuality and suspense distributed globally by teNeues publishing.

[team mention] [team mention] [team mention] Arseni, Mirjana, Mujtaba I added random image starter for grid THE COLLECTIONS. If we uplaod several images inside each preview, slideshow will load random image every time, not first like before. This help to avoid to show same again and again everytime, if we upload more than 1 image.
sound icons updating
and only thank you message for fields left
[team mention] [team mention] Mujtaba and Mirjana I added thank you message and emails sent for inquire.

tiny details
so I know you are serious about HR
| HOMEPAGE / MAIN STRUCTURE Rotating/random artwork behavior is approved. David dislikes the empty homepage slots. Use Special Projects as one homepage feature block. A Drebinology item can occupy another homepage block. A Collections Edition VR/video can be another feature. Books are already presented strongly elsewhere, so avoid unnecessary duplication. Homepage overall is strongly approved. | MAJOR EDITORIAL DIRECTION: LESS This is probably the biggest instruction from the entire call. David wants the website dramatically edited down: Fewer artworks. Fewer neons. Fewer repetitive installation/interior images. Remove weak images. Remove visually redundant images even when technically different. Avoid dated photographs of David. Website should feel curated, scarce and premium rather than comprehensive. | CMS David must be able to switch artworks on/off himself in the new CMS. Review the CMS with David and remove images together. Site should not launch before the major image cleanup. New Works / gallery PDFs generated from the website need to work on the new site as they did on the old one. | SPECIFIC IMAGE REMOVALS Remove the car with flowers artwork entirely. Remove the old photo of David in Sculpture — approximately 10 years old. The other David-with-hat image is acceptable. Sculpture: remove the bottom sculpture image discussed because the object is already demonstrated above. Sculpture: reduce repeated/similar views. Where two frames tell essentially the same story, keep the stronger one. Lips installation: remove the unattractive brick/interior environment. Remove the Lips versions with the lights David dislikes. Instead use the Lips of Love color-changing video showing the different colors. Intro/home video: bald/older man walking at the beginning must be removed. | COLLECTION-PAGE COPY Across collection pages: Remove phrases such as “worldwide since 2015,” “since 2004,” etc. Do not replace them everywhere with “EST. 2004.” Homepage can retain EST. 2004. Collection language becomes essentially: “Collected through select galleries worldwide.” Remove/correct the erroneous 2024 reference. | SUPERSTAR Animation/transitions should not all happen simultaneously. Stagger them somewhat randomly so viewers have time to perceive each. Remove the first sentence beginning around “Inspired by the sold-out Below the Surface…”. | DIAMOND DUST David finds it flat/faint. Mira/Arseni describe it as “washed out.” Likely transparency/GIF treatment against the black background. Compare against old website and fix contrast/transparency. | LENTICULAR Keep white background. David specifically likes the gallery-wall feeling. Do not convert it to black. | INQUIRY / CONNECT WhatsApp field remains optional. Country should have no default selection. Specifically, do not default to USA. Mira tested Connect and Inquiry delivery to David/Michelle. David likes the forms. | GALLERIES Galleries page is strategically very important to David — essentially a perception/representation page. Current treatment approved. David intends to remove some galleries later through CMS. Don’t aggressively clean these without David because this involves business relationships, not merely design. | NEWS Do not lead with Maxim. News should start with latest news. Add Contessa Gallery / I Love New York. No need to hold launch while David proofreads 15 years of news. Old news can be reviewed progressively after launch. Existing AI-normalized descriptions are broadly accepted. | EXHIBITIONS / ART FAIRS Current page broadly approved. Add Contessa Gallery — I Love New York. Otherwise David says it looks good/up to date. | PRESS Press names/logos/text first. User clicks to see the actual press. Don’t let third-party imagery dominate David’s site. David’s artwork remains the visual protagonist. Same principle applies to podcasts: avoid making another person’s face a major visual element. David strongly approved this treatment. | SPECIAL PROJECTS Strongly approved. Keep. Link a homepage feature block into this section.
Add relevant Contessa / I Love New York material where appropriate. | DREBINOLOGY Randomized items are approved. Black outline is used selectively where necessary against black backgrounds. David loves the presentation. More Drebinology videos are coming. David mentioned: “You need to love being alone” “You have to love the game” “You have to sometimes lose to win” | ABOUT / MOBILE About page approved. Slideshow approved. “Three stages of David” treatment approved. Logos/slideshow presentation approved. Testimonials approved. Michelle Tripodi’s presence was checked and accepted. Mobile navigation/hamburger/bottom-right navigation broadly approved. Signup popup should disappear for roughly three weeks after dismissal, like the old site. | TEXT / NAMING David considers DD Headquarters, but there is no clear final decision to rename it. Do not change yet. “Sculpture Collection” was questioned momentarily but then accepted. Dream Series type remains white, not gold. Some “In Conversation” text may still be rewritten by Arseni later to make it more distinctive. | INTRO VIDEO Video is the main launch blocker. David wants to see the revised images and hear the revised song. New song appears approved by David and Arseni. Remove old/bald walking man. Mira should create one approval document showing exactly which old frame gets replaced by which new image/frame. David approved this intermediate approval layer. After approval, editor makes the final revision — goal is to avoid another editing loop. Clip of David putting on his glasses is approved as an introduction/possible opening. Stockholm “Stockholm Calling” material using David’s imagery is acceptable for the video. “She Never Looked Back” was questioned but not clearly removed. Leave pending. Video remains a separate creative review from the website. | WAIT FOR ZOOM VIDEO / VISUAL REFERENCE These points need the actual recording because they depend on what was being shown: Exact sculpture images David pointed to when saying “lose that one.” Exact redundant interior/artwork frames to eliminate. Exact replacement choices in the homepage video. Precise references when David says “that,” “this one,” “the straight one,” etc. Whether some Sculpture sequences should become slideshows/zooms versus simply deleting frames. Exact visual involved in the “She Never Looked Back” discussion. | OVERALL PRIORITY Finish video → aggressively curate artwork → fix the small copy/UI issues → launch. David is not asking for another redesign. He repeatedly says the website looks amazing/incredible. The remaining work is primarily editing, subtraction, final content selection and launch preparation.

We’re continuing QA and making fixes directly in the CMS. The major development and content population phase is now behind us; what remains is mostly small heading and text corrections. Most image, heading, and copy issues have already been fixed.

The two additions for the EMPTY slots : SPECIAL PROJECTS → thumbnail links to the Special Projects section. David explicitly liked this. DREBINOLOGY → one randomly selected Drebinology item/video, changing randomly like the collection imagery.

No...this was agreed long ago and I just reminded DD that we need to do one more neon interior...so he is aware and he said OK.
[team mention]
Did you fix all inconsistencies as to punctuations, removing strange characters etc
[team mention] [team mention] Follow changes are done - Two addditonal linked thumbnails in THE COLLECTIONS grid - Reduces font size in testimonials - Sound icon for mobile become smaller Many content changes were done before [development link]
TWO-CALL RECAP • Remove the “Blessed” neon from the website selection. David explicitly names it in the first call at 13:23. Your recap mentions fewer neons generally but omits this specific removal. • Fix and verify the homepage lenticular preview on mobile. It fails during the second call at 4:22–4:29. Keeping the white background is already covered; the playback problem is not. • Implement and verify the smaller mobile signup/CTA button. At 3:36 in the second call, you say it has been made 30% smaller in Figma. Check that the website actually reflects that change. • Verify/correct the Madison House external link. The first call ends with troubleshooting its destination. Confirm that the website link reaches the correct current page. • Obtain recipient-side confirmation of the form tests. The recap says Mira tested delivery, but the call does not clearly establish that David/Michelle received the messages. Record receipt for both Connect/signup and artwork inquiries. | ADDITIONAL ITEMS RAISED AFTERWARD, OUTSIDE YOUR RECAP • Improve uncached artwork-image transitions. You requested preloading approximately two images ahead on the Pink Dreamer page. Test with a cold cache, not only after the images have loaded once. • Resolve the Spotify-link discrepancy. Links reportedly landed on Spotify’s homepage for one tester but worked through a proxy. Test the exact episode links logged out and on mobile; establish whether this is regional/account behavior before changing working URLs. • Check the testimonial typography adjustment. You suggested reducing the font by one point to improve wrapping; Ivan replied that he would try. Review the result rather than opening another duplicate task. This is polish, not automatically a launch blocker. | ADDITIONAL LAUNCH-MANAGEMENT TASKS — NOT NEW CLIENT REQUESTS • Put dates and acceptance evidence against the remaining work. Update the existing tracker with owner, delivery deadline, reviewer and proof of completion. Reconcile “updated” Telegram replies with the actual deployed pages. • Schedule the remaining video milestones. Your recap already covers the replacement document; what is missing is the deadline for its approval, the editor’s delivery, and desktop/mobile verification. • Agree a video contingency with David. If the final video misses its deadline, explicitly decide whether launch waits or uses a specified temporary treatment. Neither option should be assumed approved. • Complete a documented launch go/no-go check. Include device/browser testing, redirects, analytics, search-indexing settings, deployment backup/rollback and a post-launch smoke test. Set the launch date against that checklist.

Ivan can you maybe ask Codex if there are tricks to this such as making GIF 95% opaque instead of 100% ? so solve the optical illusion
[Sensitive access or security details withheld; message position preserved.]
12. Preserve existing URLs. Export the current live URL list and create permanent 301 mappings for old artwork, portfolio, press, and editorial URLs that change. 13. Configure HTTPS and canonical hostname. Install valid certificates for the apex and www hostnames, select one canonical hostname, and redirect the other using 301. 14. Configure CDN caching carefully. Do not globally cache layout-dependent HTML. The desktop/mobile response uses cookies and Vary: Cookie. Purge HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, and media caches after deployment. 15. Add production security headers. Validate CSP in report-only mode first, then enforce it. Add MIME sniffing, referrer, framing, and permissions protections. Enable HSTS only after HTTPS works correctly on every production hostname. 16. Final production-origin QA. Test desktop and mobile layouts, retina media, home loading order, testimonials, title videos, sound controls, Collections redirects, portfolio slideshows, large-image mode, INQUIRE, CONNECT, SIGN UP, CMS edits, cookies, 404 pages, and mail delivery. 17. Perform the cutover safely. Back up the existing live site, CMS data, submissions, DNS, and server configuration. Sync the latest CMS changes, switch DNS/document root, purge CDN caches, and monitor PHP and web-server logs. 18. Post-launch work. Generate robots.txt and sitemap.xml, submit the production domain to search engines, redirect or block indexing of the development hostname, and monitor forms and broken URLs. Most front-end asset and endpoint paths are already root-relative, so the visual site should not require a broad path rewrite when installed directly at the production document root.

[team mention] [team mention] is it done ?
Reply to earlier message
I did this yesterday
[team mention] Arseni I think this si connent issue. lets avoid website/code changes for that. Question If make gifs in section [development link] a little bit transparent (opacity 90%), will such gifs will loosk brighter 20:55 No. With opacity: 0.9, GIFs blend with the dark #151515 background. Highlights become slightly darker and the image looks softer or faded, not brighter. For a subtle brightness increase, use: filter: brightness(1.08); A value around 1.05–1.10 should brighten the GIFs while preserving opacity and contrast.

[team mention] pls resolve with David via Telegram group. This is not my art direction part
I am not sure who needs to do this fix
Dan or us?
i think we need to do it. Ivan if you can do automated test with Codex then pls do it
Reply to earlier message
does Codex have a solution then ?
Reply to earlier message
No, not codex. Photoshop, with actions.
so this is for Dan?
yes, for Dan, or for us
maybe better if Dan try first
David One of your revisions regarding the website was the dimaond dust gifs in that section are flat
we compared the previous and new background and it looks like this
[photo]
So our solution for fixing this is that gifs is that it is done on the level of photoshop layer
which includes Dan
Whatever that means 😝
Dan can’t go back and alter all of these
They look terrible on new site
They look great on current site
but he made gifs and it would be easier for him to just alter this in his source files
Then ask and how long this will take
So you don't want them changed?
They can’t look like this
ah yes
They look BAD
So yeah
ok ok got it haha
This can’t take weeks
i have another idea. Give me 15 min

some texts are too short - [development link]

we will rewrite in this style to make them longer :
SCREW IT JUST DO IT David Drebin joins Alex Chisnall to discuss expression, visibility, and the inner discipline behind a creative career. The conversation moves through passion and detachment, self-acceptance, relationships, health, and the intelligent use of social media to build an audience without surrendering mystery. It is less a lesson in chasing approval than an argument for trusting your instincts, developing yourself, and making work before the world decides what to call it. | WHERE’S THIS GOING Felix Levine sits down with David Drebin for a portrait of the person behind the work. The conversation traces a path from photography into a multidisciplinary practice spanning lightboxes, neon, Diamond Dust, and other limited-edition forms. Framed by the question of how people arrive at an unexpected life, the episode looks at creative identity, ambition, and the choices that gradually turn instinct into a recognizable artistic language. | GET AUTHENTIC WITH MARQUES OGDEN David Drebin speaks with Marques Ogden about the transformation behind the public career: from waiting tables in New York to building a life in photography and contemporary art. The episode follows the risks, persistence, and self-belief that carried him forward, while tracing how a cinematic signature grew beyond photographs into multiple forms. It is a conversation about becoming visible by first becoming unmistakably yourself. | DAVID DREBIN ON HIS CAREER IN ART This Becker Group conversation looks back at David Drebin’s beginnings in photography and the career that followed. David discusses the evolution of his work, the realities of the art industry, and what it means to sustain a creative practice over time. The episode offers a concise view of an artist learning to navigate both vision and business while continuing to adapt without losing a recognizable point of view. | GAMECHANGERS LIVE On Gamechangers LIVE, David Drebin’s story becomes a study in creative expansion. A Parsons graduate who began in photography, he developed a cinematic visual language before moving into lightboxes, neon, Diamond Dust, and other limited-edition forms. The episode considers the ambition, reinvention, and sustained self-belief required to make a body of work recognizable, then build an enduring world around it. | PURPOSE, STRUGGLE AND MAKING MAGIC Matt DeCoursey and David Drebin discuss the less polished side of creative success: purpose, struggle, and the long work of making opportunity appear. David reflects on passion, generosity, and the idea that “magic” is attracted through action rather than passively awaited. The conversation connects artistic instinct with entrepreneurial discipline, asking how clarity of purpose can sustain a career through uncertainty, rejection, and reinvention. | HOW TO ESTABLISH YOURSELF AS A POWERFUL BRAND David Drebin joins Adam Torres to explore what it takes to build a powerful brand around a creative life. The conversation moves through David’s evolution as an artist, the discipline of making limited-edition work, and the importance of becoming unmistakably yourself. More than a discussion of visibility, it considers how conviction, consistency, and a clear point of view turn artistic practice into lasting recognition. | INSPIRATION BEHIND THE ART David Drebin reflects on the identity of a creator and the discipline of focusing on one’s strengths. The conversation follows the inspiration behind his photography, books, and wider artistic practice, while considering how a distinctive visual language develops over time. It is a compact portrait of ambition shaped by curiosity, self-belief, and the willingness to keep evolving without losing the emotional signature that first made the work recognizable.

yes
[team mention]
its too long, and I wrote about this before
let's add this text in first column - How to sell...
podcasts should be shorter
As a photographer David’s eyes are his livelihood. His vision was everything, but somehow David shrugs it off, he takes it stoically, he has this lack of concern for any roadblocks. I mean David has always believed that he would achieve great things. I think that’s why after traveling around the world to 13 countries at 18, he decided to try and make it as a commercial photographer. He started taking classes at New York’s Parsons School of design, and subsequently tried to make it in the biz, but just faced rejection after rejection. However, obstacles are no match for David… he’d eventually strike out on his own as an artist selling his art to Elton John at one of his first shows. Now he has ten published photobooks, sells his artwork all over the world, and it’s a coveted thing to own a “Drebin”. THis interview is wide ranging and we’ll start with a little steaminess
if we add this in first column will it be more equal with others?

David Drebin joins #MikedUp for a great discussion about creativity, art, and inspiration! David began his career in commercial photography and then quickly made a name for himself advancing into the world of contemporary fine art. Over the years, his signature film style has evolved into other art forms, including neon light installations and the revolutionary "photo sculpture." David’s work has been featured in many of the most prestigious art fairs and galleries.

THE RICHER GEEK | UNLEASHING CREATIVITY AND HIDDEN POTENTIAL David Drebin joins The Richer Geek to explore creativity, self-belief, and the instinct to see possibility in other people. From his beginnings behind the camera to a multidisciplinary practice spanning photographs, neons, sculptures, and installations, he reflects on hidden potential, human connection, and the courage required to build a distinctive life, body of work, and enduring artistic world. | INVESTING TO WIN | FROM REJECTION TO RECOGNITION: HOW DAVID DREBIN CREATED HIS ICONIC BRAND In this conversation, David Drebin traces the distance between rejection and recognition. He discusses the early jobs, restless ambition, and unwavering belief that shaped his path from aspiring photographer to internationally collected multidisciplinary artist. The episode explores entrepreneurship, gallery relationships, personal branding, and why lasting success depends on persistence, emotional intelligence, and a vision others can freely enter. | EARN & INVEST | THE ART OF BUSINESS WITH DAVID DREBIN David Drebin speaks candidly about the business behind an artistic life: building a brand, earning trust, pricing creative work, and surviving the uncertain beginning. The conversation moves beyond the familiar idea of talent to examine discipline, relationships, self-belief, and the commercial instincts required to turn a personal vision into a body of work people genuinely want to collect. | THE VALUE OF SCARCITY | ENTREPRENEURS EXPOSED Scarcity is more than a sales device in David Drebin’s world; it is part of how desire, value, and attention are created. This conversation explores limited editions, gallery relationships, entrepreneurship, and the choices that transform images into collectible artworks. David also reflects on lifestyle, ambition, and the process of building a name that carries meaning beyond the frame. | CREATE CLARITY WITH CHARITY David Drebin discusses the clarity required to move between photography, neon, sculpture, and Diamond Dust while preserving a recognizable identity. He reflects on collaborations with brands, exhibitions across Europe and the United States, and the importance of following instinct. The result is a conversation about expansion without dilution, and ambition guided by a distinct emotional point of view. | HOW TO SELL A PHOTO FOR $100,000 TO NYC’S RICH & FAMOUS David Drebin’s career was built through conviction, rejection, risk, and an unusual willingness to keep moving. This wide-ranging conversation follows his path from commercial photography and Parsons to international galleries, collectors, and ten published books. He discusses selling an early work to Elton John, developing a recognizable visual language, and treating obstacles as material for the next chapter.

but Rio de Janeiro is calling me to go out every night !
magnana
my kids had to eat sandwiches today
so your Rio can wait too
Rio does not wait
haha
based on my call with David :
HOMEPAGE — REPLACE DREBINOLOGY WITH COLLECTOR’S EDITION VR • Replace the Drebinology homepage block with Collector’s Edition / VR. • Keep Special Projects in the other block. • Use one Collector’s Edition VR video at a time. • Prepare a pool of the 5 best VR videos David has already approved, including their approved music. • Each time someone visits/clicks, show a different VR video from that pool. Do not play all five sequentially. • Choose videos that show the different artwork categories in context. • Do not use VR videos where artworks appear curved or unrealistically angled on walls. • The VR block can be refreshed with different videos later. • Do this after launch. Do not delay launch for it.

Reply to earlier message
Already done: put the new website code in a folder visitors cannot see yet, and back up and restore-check the old site’s code. Before launch: make a private test of the new website that displays the text and pictures from their current location. Leave the CMS editing screen at [domain redacted] Copy nothing. Before launch: check that visitor forms work, their new messages cannot be downloaded publicly, and the existing campaign tool and important old links still work. Before launch: open the private test on a computer and phone. Check the pages and pictures, then test real form delivery only with agreed test details. Confirm we can quickly return to the old website if something fails. Go live: show you the test results and exact switch for approval, change DreamHost’s Web directory, and immediately check the public site. Keep the old site and dev CMS in place.
[team mention] was [team mention] asked to do any testing ? I think so
[team mention] Arseni Mujtaba found bug, I fixing it now.

did the video load eventually ?
Eventually after 30 seconds and my clicking
Does not load automatically
clicking or no clicking - it is not about the loading speed
Does not load right away

"right away" means under 7 seconds ?
No at least 30

Doesn’t load in WiFi or without WiFi
It seems to need the “play” button
and now ?
a fix is applied but i cannot replicate or see the problem you experienced
what is your iOS David ?
and are you now on a low battery where iOS protects your battery life and does not autoplay ?

and also remove them from inventory app ?
Keep on inventory I do get occasional inquiries
can we move inventory app to [domain redacted] ?
so updates to your main website or viruses won’t accidentally affect inventory app
I don’t understand
I want to give inventory its own place, so changing the main website won’t make that page disappear again like it did today
Whatever you think!
This is what happens when I press “back to beginning”
[photo]
It only goes to books
Back to beginning means back to beginning of section?
Should it not go back to Intro video ? Not sure?
Let’s start Lenticular section with Swept Away and Floating Dreams they are most popular and most impressive as verticals
It should not loop the video it does not stop as I scroll down
[photo]
Is glitchy how does know to scroll should do automatically
Does not scroll automatically
Only has 10 images?
We have so much more than this!!!
September 24, 2026
Very glitchy section of images we need all the images from this we had in past plus more from recent fairs

Why so few images?
We need a call tomorrow to go through all this
“About section” images need to be faster transitions
Dream The World published in the fall of 2026 - needs to say this. There is no context here

So why didn't you turn off interiors before live?
It looks broken
why "Stop the intro video when someone scrolls away. David also asked that it not keep looping" but David was on a different page not home page. David is so Vague that it is dangerous to take his comments literally
Reply to earlier message
because I could not do it when i was on a call with David and can you make David send us these changes in wiritng and not by voice ?
i clearly wrote here

it is not about video but about slideshow in exhibition

and where is this doc ?
I pasted link 2x in the group with david
please read my messages
also DD can add his new revisions there
Reply to earlier message
why make that slideshow not endless ?
I just wrote what he wants
pls challenge David too
as I see he wants a lot of images in slideshow
I think adding them will narrow frames sizes
like it happened in test site
but a bunch of images are there i think in cms
so we turn all of them on and see

David why this strip should NOT loop like strops looped on your old website ?

lets do not mix it?
it works but where are we going to add new images or remove the ones that are not performing?
Reply to earlier message
lets separate it properly so one virus does not kill all eggs in one basket
Reply to earlier message
the bigger problem is Eliander's backups were stupid because they included all things such as inventory
so inventory NEVER had its own backup
but [team mention] doesn't inventory back up daily?
why do I see this now
[photo]
Reply to earlier message
Mira, inventory does automatic backups of the database as I remember only once a day when it's used. If inventory system is not used for a month, then there will be no backups for a month. That is logical. The problem is the content of inventory is only backed up by in the past by system administrators and in the future by Codex automation. And that includes all the images. And that is maybe ten mega ten gigabytes in size, maybe twenty, I don't know.
is it my comp?
Reply to earlier message
lets discuss at 1 pm by voice

yesss!
Reply to earlier message
no not your comp. This is being fixed now
Reply to earlier message
Ivan see if CMS improved "Fixed and deployed to both CMS instances. The bug: after authentication expired, “Log out” could redirect before clearing the editing lock. Logout now clears that browser’s lock, and re-login cleans up its old lock before creating a new session. Two-session tests passed on the server, including expired-session logout and protection of another active editor. Live responses also passed. No editors were forced out."

[photo]
Reply to earlier message
David [team mention] i love the test we did here :
[link redacted]
so lets use the animated WEBP graphic for low-battery mode. There will be no sound
Love it
Love all these ideas
Mira's Paper doc is the one to prioritize today - [link redacted]
these are just same TODOs but from another angle :
P0 — Website blockers / functionality Fix the mobile freezing/glitching David demonstrated. Test the entire site on iPhone/mobile, especially menu navigation, Books → back/top, Galleries, and repeated navigation between sections. Exhibitions & Art Fairs slider: remove image zoom/enlarge behavior on mobile. It should be a slider only. If someone touches/stops the Exhibition slider, it should automatically resume after ~10 seconds. Homepage intro video: play once, stop on the Drebin logo, do NOT loop. Add the play button so it can be replayed manually. Test the homepage video on iPhone, including low-battery / power-saving mode. Animated GIF fallback can come later if it requires more development. P1 — Exhibitions & Art Fairs — TOP CONTENT PRIORITY Arseni will curate the images. Team should prepare/implement the section: Expand from ~20 images to 100 strongest images. Most recent first: 2026 → backwards chronologically. Start with current David / current look. Older hat images are fine later in the sequence, but very few near the beginning. Prioritize crowds, major exhibitions, galleries, art fairs, David with collectors/people, strong installation views. Remove weak/empty/dated images and images David specifically rejected. Fixed curated sequence, NOT random. Visual rhythm: big / small / big / small. Merge the short 2021 + 2020 grouping. Exhibition/Art Fair preview images should also favor the strongest recent material. This is the section David repeatedly called the most important and the main reason he is not ready to promote the site yet. P2 — Content changes — finish TODAY Books: add Dream the World as the first/top book, using the description David sent Mira. Remove the Dream the World paragraph from About. Books: remove “Available on Amazon.” Use [domain redacted] as the linked text. Galleries preview: replace with the Flirting with Danger / crowd image David specified. Drebinology preview: use one of the strong combinations/screenshots David sent. Remove Amateur Photography from Press. Change “David Drebin” → “Drebin” throughout copy where appropriate; first introduction can remain David Drebin. Diamond Dust: “light reflecting,” no hyphen. Superstar: put “Below the Surface” in quotation marks. Lenticular: swap Risky Landing / Risky Game swap Golden Dream / Below the Surface text: replace “almost like two images in one” with “making it seem like two images in one.” Sculpture copy: change “his muses” → “the muses.” “I love New York” → “I ♥️ New York.” P2 — Sculpture image cleanup Use Below the Surface as the benchmark for how these sequences should feel. Falling in Love: remove redundant final motion image; finish with close-up/detail. Teardrop: remove rejected second/last images; add detail close-up; retain strong art-fair installation; crop/zoom where needed to eliminate black margins. Photograph Yourself: zoom opening video/image substantially; remove rejected image. Dreamer: add very close detail as final image. Lips & Love: use David’s video + red version only; remove other colors. General rule: sequences should finish with a strong detail/close-up where appropriate. P2 — Galleries Reorganize: North America: Contessa first, then Onessimo/Onassis, Carousel, Aspen, Hilton, Trimper; Art Angels last. Create separate UK section before Europe: Clarendon + Iconic Images. Europe remains separate. Add Brazil → Roma Gallery / Thiago Prata. Update Hannah Breakwell contact using the details David sent. Add state names to US locations consistently: Palm Beach, Florida; Los Angeles, California; Atlanta, Georgia; Aspen, Colorado, etc. P3 — Visual polish Neon “You Are So Full of Shit”: make approximately 1.5× larger. About slideshow: make faster. Replace/pull back the close David portrait where his face looks red/out of focus. Reduce orange cast on the other About image. Select stronger Drebinology and Galleries preview imagery. P3 — Nadine / book promotion
Mira: contact Nadine and give her what she needs for promotion. Do not send 12GB high-res. Send a Dropbox selection of low/medium-res images first; she chooses what she needs, then we send corresponding high-res files. Definition of done today Before telling David to review again, Mira should do one complete mobile QA pass herself. We should not send him back into the site while obvious glitches/content changes remain. Order of attack today: mobile bugs → Exhibitions/Art Fairs → Dream the World/Books → Galleries → copy/content fixes → sculpture/visual polish. Please update tasks as you finish them rather than waiting until end of day.

Reply to earlier message
we can make it much smaller and visually appropriate—but not by modifying this box. We replace this box with our own CMP. One complication: AdRoll’s documentation is currently internally inconsistent about its old approval process. Their general pages say custom banners may require approval, while another current help article says AdRoll has paused GDPR custom-banner reviews until further notice and that this doesn’t prevent using AdRoll or launching campaigns. For David’s site, I’d have the developer investigate replacing NextRoll CMP with a compact TCF-compatible CMP, rather than wasting time trying to style this one.
Reply to earlier message
for this weekend ——-> Use another CMP (or a properly implemented custom consent system) → much smaller, visually consistent banner → it passes the visitor’s choices to AdRoll.

Punchline Curated as a journey through Drebin's most iconic visual worlds, Dream The World offers a concentrated overview of his universe: from sweeping skylines to intimate, psychologically charged moments that linger long after you close the book. Exposé Following his acclaimed books such as "I Love New York," "The Morning After," and "Dreamscapes," David Drebin now expands his gaze to a world of shimmering skylines, mysterious muses, and iconic figures. In this coffee table book, the star photographer captures those charged moments when elegance, melancholy, and desire intersect in atmospheric scenes. Sweeping vistas, intimate interiors, and electrified urban horizons reveal a universe of secrets: a glance from a balcony high above the city, a solitary figure lost in neon light, a fleeting encounter that feels like the beginning—or the end—of a love story, and dreamlike muses drifting beneath the water's surface like silent superstars. Each image suggests an untold narrative, suspended between fantasy and reality. Drebin's unmistakable visual language—at once cinematic, glamorous, and psychologically charged—infuses every photograph with a sense of voyeurism and emotional tension, as if these scenes were fragments of a single, sprawling dream. This book is a sensual declaration of love to the world's great cities, to the muses who haunt them, and to the magnetic aura of his universe—an invitation to surrender to the atmosphere of a luminous, dreamlike world. What to Expect -The elegant gold‑shimmering cover emphasizes the sensual character of the photographs and makes the book an experience that captivates you from the moment you open it. - The generous book format and impressive compositions of the photographs make each page appear like a narrative-charged scene from a film
this all is text for new book

We added what we found...our main goal was to fix content revisions "today" as you promised to DD on the call. ...maybe Mujtaba added it but I take accountability and sincerely apologize to you David
Mujtaba worked on this in early morning in his country -after 2 am just to fix what can be fixed. Either way, if you didn't see it I'd see it and turned off in the morning my time.
It’s alll good! We have a greeeeeat team!

I don’t want this as opening image for Limited edition. I refreshed 5 times and it came back every time as first image

Ok do you have some specific image you want to show?
Random
This is first impression people see.
Always random for Limited Edtion, Neons, Dream Series. Others are fixed
Ok..so images in Collections sections on Home page are not random
Can we do random for sections in Collections - only those that have random behaviour

David we do not see this bug on our Devices but it should be fixed for you now too
I just wanna distract you in Rio lol I am very mad at you
i canceleld all my dates for the website launch! and for the book!
No, keep the CDN. It isn't what caused David's problem, and it makes the site faster for visitors far from the server. It also takes load off the DreamHost server. Caching JS for 30 days is normal. It's safe here because the pages link each file with a version tag (?…-decodefix-20260925). When the tag changes, browsers and the CDN treat it as a new file and fetch it straight away. That's why the fix was live right after I bumped the tags. The pages themselves aren't cached long, so a new tag reaches visitors immediately. The weak spot is that someone has to remember to bump the tag after every JS or CSS edit. If they forget, visitors keep the old file for up to 30 days. I'd make the tag automatic instead. footer.php and header.php can build it from each file's last-modified time, so any edit gets a new tag without anyone remembering: <script src="/assets/js/collections_mobile.bundle.js?v=<?=filemtime(__DIR__.'/assets/js/collections_mobile.bundle.js')?>" defer></script> If you ever need a file refreshed before then, BunnyCDN also has a "Purge cache" button in its dashboard.
Reply to earlier message
so we may need this in the future :
Go to [link redacted] and sign in with the BunnyCDN account that runs the site. Click CDN in the left sidebar. This shows your pull zones. Open the zone for [domain redacted]. Its ID is 6691369, which I read from the site's response headers. Click Purge cache to clear everything. You can also paste a single file URL to clear just that file, for example [link redacted]

There he is!
Where is this on site
On the home page

Can we start with Vogue, then Art News, then photography publication and end with Maxim - can we have ten in total top ten please for branding!
We neee the director of Helmut Newton museum
Magnus Resch foremost art critic etc

and where is this content ?
They wrote intros for previous books!
Chasing Paradise and Love and Lights
And Simon du Pury - intro to Before they were famous
3 very important endorsements!!!!!!
1)
this person does not have a logo so we will just write his name in large type
I will give brief description who he is in moment
[photo]
Next :
You mean Dr. Matthias Harder, Director and Curator of the Helmut Newton Foundation in Berlin. That’s the accurate name and title for his attribution.
Drebin creates a cinematic ambience that makes the individual images feel like movie stills, capturing a moment in time.”
Key is describing these three individuals in addition to the publications
I’m me more to come now
[photo]
Magnus Resch, Ph.D. Art Market Economist, Yale Lecturer and Bestselling Author
These are 3 spectacular endorsements!
Please put after Vogue!
Reply to earlier message
or we use their avatar from IG ? What is Somon's IG link ?
No logo
Just who they are in our type
So we have publications with logos and then serious art world individuals- these 3 are TOP

Start with “Drebin”
These are powerful brand endorsement
This from teNeues :
So we add these and delete the ones above please and thank you!
Morning Maestro
Category images now change every 3 seconds David
We are getting there!
How many images in the thumbs that change? We need only the best of the best.

// Team, till today these slideshows had 1-3 artworks uploaded as a test. but the CMS was available since mid July :
[development link]
[photo]
On August 3 we discussed the collection thumbnail slideshows, and on September 18 Ivan explained how multiple preview images work. Was the three-image Diamond Dust selection intentional and reviewed with David, or was that content work still unfinished?
Ivan’s role is design and programming When the CMS already supports a change, who prepares the content, gets approval, and checks the result? Please review the remaining sections together and tell us what needs correcting. Don't wait for David or me to discover each issue

3 were for consistency ...but if DD requested more, we will add..

Ivan David approved my idea to put all of these in a slider going right and left because the home page became too long. There's too much scrolling. This needs to be an automatic slider like all other sliders or you could always switch to manual mode and then it will automatically keep sliding when you're done with manual mode
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] I don't call this scope creep in this case Yes, it was my idea, but it solved a real problem - the homepage got too long for no good reason. To me that's part of the process. Hard to predict how long it would run until we populated the whole thing with content So lets not charge the client for this. I want you to know how I think about all these changes happening after launch. Some of them are compensating for things we didn't think about - things we could have caught ourselves at the design level
Reply to earlier message
Ivan pls adjust in DEV copy and i will apply your revision to live website in 2 min of work
Васисуалий as for testimonials
don't highlight David's name
David asked to highlight the name of person
like Dr. Mathias

Great! So much better!
Both so much better!
Where is galleries on the home page?
Most important section not on home page?
We have to have this section on home page! After Neons and before Special Projects. This section is the ultimate 3rd party validation we need.

but why did it go live ?
because thsi was one of many corrections from David
We didn't miss it
You wanted Galleries to be a separate page
VR video is slow
and stretched

If we ned to put video, I can make 1-2-3 clips from vr video

Arseni will explain. We are on phone now .
Reply to earlier message
separate page will remain
[team mention] Ivan newsletters are taking too much time - they are NOT the priority now
David we will have to postpone eblast
Reply to earlier message
and do you know the priority of all corrections Ivan ?
We finish these details on site. We do the eblast when done . We are very close. It’s the final details we have to make sure great before we blast
David wants the site finished this week and the newsletter sent next week, after the site is ready. GALLERIES — highest priority Galleries must be clearly represented on the homepage. David considers gallery representation one of the most important forms of third-party validation and doesn’t want visitors hunting for it in the hamburger menu. Create a new GALLERIES homepage block, functioning like Special Projects: homepage preview → click → existing Galleries page. Final agreed homepage position: after Special Projects and before Books. This should be a separate block, not forced into the existing Collections grid. Homepage block: GALLERIES + one epic gallery/installation image. No paragraph/text description. Use the strongest real gallery installation image we have. David specifically does not want an image where the artwork looks bent/distorted. The Berlin/Cameraworks image with the open doors was suggested. A still/thumbnail from the existing Galleries VR is also acceptable. We do not need six rotating images. One excellent image is enough. Clicking it should take users directly to the existing Galleries page, where the galleries are already presented vertically. We are not putting all 11 galleries directly on the homepage. IN CONVERSATION Current section is much too long and dominates the homepage. Convert it to a horizontal left/right slider so it occupies substantially less vertical space. Galleries are a much higher priority than In Conversation.
if we need to divide them into steps- no I have no idea but we need newsletter too [link redacted]
[team mention] [team mention]
Yes!
for speed lets create GALLERIES thumbnail from this video -

the new GALLERIES block will be above books :

we can use this work next week or soon - so not lost in this sence
yes
in a sence that not urgent work is blocking urgent work
maybe pushing Ivan into working till 2am - could be easily avoided
ok, so, tomorrow I will think how to fit galleries on home page
[team mention] David Arseni and David About this part IN CONVERSATION Current section is much too long and dominates the homepage. Convert it to a horizontal left/right slider so it occupies substantially less vertical space. Galleries are a much higher priority than In Conversation.edited 00:27 What if we just reduce the number of posts? Just 3 latest, not 6?
squeezing podcasts will give more spave
Podcasts will take some space in any case, one row stiill need to show
maybe we can show just one row
not two

[team mention] DD — clean TODO list from yesterday’s calls Workflow for small code changes: Ivan, make the change in your copy and put “Arseny — please apply” in the paper, followed by one sentence describing exactly what changed. Do not apply these small code changes to live yourself for now. Arseny will apply them until Git is properly set up for both accounts. 1. About Fixed sequence, not random: David with camera in Paris David in gallery/setting David on boat 2 seconds per image. Ivan adjusts → Arseny — please apply. 2. Superstar Series Previews should alternate: artwork → same artwork in setting → artwork → same artwork in setting. Do this for all 7 works. Start with Superstar. 3. Lenticular Artwork is currently too small with too much white around it. Make the works substantially larger. Test/use the black-background treatment instead of the large white area. Check that all lenticular animations/videos work reliably; Golden Dream was observed not moving initially. If changing the actual video backgrounds requires significant video work, report this separately rather than holding up the easy changes. 4. Dream Series — vintage images Add these three: TRANS AM Couple on Bed / young man + older woman Two men in the white convertible David wanted the three vintage images together in the Dream Series. Do not add the underwear image discussed during the call. Also confirm TRANS AM remains/is already present in Limited Edition Artworks. 5. Newsletter popup Do not show “Receive News from the House of Drebin” on the homepage. Keep it on internal pages so visitors encounter it later. Ivan adjusts → Arseny — please apply. 6. In Conversation — mobile Change the current vertical list to a left/right swipe carousel. Leave Books as they are. 7. Testimonials Strengthen this around major publications + the three important individuals. Add Interview. Add GQ / GQ Italia + logo + appropriate verified quote. Keep strong publications such as Vogue and ARTnews. Remove weaker publications David questioned, specifically Fuse and Sleek. Keep Simon de Pury, Dr. Matthias Harder and Magnus Resch. Do not add individual gallery owners. Testimonials should support manual swipe + automatic progression, if technically clean. 8. VR On desktop, replace the Special Projects promo box with VR. Keep Drebinology. 9. Drebinology Keep the current heart/fire thumbnail. It should remain fixed — no random/rotating thumbnail. 10. David copy editing Check feasibility of letting David edit website copy through the consolidated text/copy system, with changes updating the website similarly to the old CMS. Investigation only for now. Report what would be required before building it. 11. Dream the World New proofs are expected this week. Once received, prepare the flipbook.

Not sure why it should take so long to make the Superstar Series for example as discussed the image then the setting and all 7 pieces in the thumbs
And the “in conversation” section is literally way too much of the home page has to be left to right as discussed
And making the image of me holding camera in Paris as first image people see in about section etc

Can we fix somehow
of course
Reply to earlier message
i will do this myself
Reply to earlier message
David this is corrected now :

[team mention] Ivan [team mention] while we’re working on David’s fixes, please show him progress roughly every 30 minutes - a finished change, checked live, with a screenshot and link
If one takes longer, say why and pick a smaller request to finish next. Don’t leave him wondering whether we’re working
I will not do things in cms but Mujtaba will
he will start in 10 minutes
Reply to earlier message
David we need to reprogra, this section to behave like that...That will be phase 2 which means we will do it next week. Now we deal with urgent fixes
actually I wouldn't call them fixes but your requests :)
This was most important thing of all. Galleries on home page. That was the entire point of the site
The in conversation is secondary to galleries
Reply to earlier message
Ivan is on it now
Galleries
[team mention]
[photo]
[team mention] [team mention] [team mention] Arseni, Mirjana, Mujtaba I made fast changes and markuped them. [link redacted] Now I worked with galleries and rest additions on home page. For now design stage, not wibe code.
I don't see it done on the site
Reply to earlier message
because cms still have update issue
since yesterday?
yes, main cms and additional do not update changes
we have all in cms, need just fix update and push it
Reply to earlier message
where is the screenshot ?
then all finished content changes will appear

This update going much longer than it usually take, and then button turn to UPDATE FAILED
Reply to earlier message
Whatever you want to call them I need site to look the best it can be. Thank you
Reply to earlier message
Maestro David it should take so long because we had to change the code of the website so it works randomly with COUPLES. This was never discussed or planned in the previous weeks. This is done now :
[photo]
Well it looks spectacular now!!!!!
Can’t wait to change the lenticular section to black background:)
Ivan try now :

Ivan you can force me out of the CMS without asking to save time

Ivan lets make content larger on Figma level first ?
reduce amount of black margin -
[photo]
Reply to earlier message
I think we can make thsi for whole portfolio template. I will show this in design
for whole lenticular portfolio ?
Reply to earlier message
I mean all portfolios
Reply to earlier message
i am disucssing content here, not HTML
Reply to earlier message
all portfolios are NOT related to the Lenticular issue and NOT related to videos
then we need modify only videos, not website
Reply to earlier message
how much margin are we removing in pixels there ?
let me count
[team mention] Arseni Not each one leticular can be cropped. And i think each lenticular should have their own sizes. For example Risky Landing 1200 px width can be cropped to 990 px
[image]
so, width —210 px for this one
Reply to earlier message
Ivan Fixed and deployed to both CMS versions. Main CMS was finishing successfully—the browser lost confirmation. It now checks the result separately and shows UPDATED when confirmed. Please reload the CMS before updating again. Tests passed; I didn’t interrupt the other editor’s session for a full live publish test.
Can we make this larger in thumbs please
[photo]
This too
[photo]
As discussed let’s get rid of this coming up immediately

David so just to clarify - do we want to place here DREBINOLOGY instead of SPECIAL PROJECTS ?
Special projects
This is for desktop yes?
Reply to earlier message
this is not related to the CMS
I would rather Drebinology than collectors edition
As we discussed yesterday/ the collectors edition videos only and NOT the VR itself

done on the live website now - 3s delays
All 3 thumbnails for Sculptures - updated
Reply to earlier message
Maestro, I agree - we want the site to look its best. On our design-review call on July 1st - [link redacted] - you gave us the go-ahead to start coding the design we reviewed and approved with you
What is this referring to?
For new features or redesigned sections such as GALLERIES on the homepage, we’ll show you a design first, get your approval, then arrange the coding and timing as phase two
If you have other ideas for that phase 2, now is a good time to include them
The galleries should have always been on first page. The in conversation is just too long and no one will read.
I have given majority of my fixes.
I had to SEE the site to SEE what was missing.
I never would have agreed to in conversation dominating first page with all that type. This is a 3rd Party validation site. Let’s just make these changes please.
Reply to earlier message
it is what it is but this makes the process not optimized if we deviate from the design. Just like adding 1 floor to a previously approved 3-storey building that has already been constructed (or coded in our case)
Reply to earlier message
We’ll show you both changes visually in FIGMA so you can see how they’ll look, then confirm when they can be ready
We missed the galleries part. I did not know how In conversation would look. I don’t want to go backwards Let’s just make these fixes
Same with Lenticualrs on black instead of white
Same with the names in testimonials matching the magazine names on white
Reply to earlier message
lentinculars are content and can be changed at any moment - before the launch or after launch (just like images)
Testimonials looks great now!
Reply to earlier message
Can’t wait to see this change on black instead
but here black would be gloomy ? :
[photo]
we can try black for the thumbnail too
Yes
and here it maybe be also too much text on desktops? :
[photo]
but they fit well
but we can limit them to 3 as opposed to 6 :

Reply to earlier message
I did this on the live site via CMS [link redacted]
[video]
r u sure transitions are every 2 sec?
Reply to earlier message
will be in 10 min
ok
Reply to earlier message
I made it even faster We have fade in transition for next image, and it take about half of second. So I did 1,5 seconds delay between transition
this mean what visible + almost visible time will be little bit more than 2 seconds
before it was 3 sec between transitions
and about 0.5 for transition
is it live?
Home galleries desktop [link redacted]
home galleries mobile [link redacted]
we will then select a very different from GALLERIES' thumbnail for this :

Is it live on main page now the galleries??

Ok Arseni let's have phase 2 live haha

The slideshow on the live About page now changes images every 2 seconds. Browser checks measured consecutive changes about 1.9–2.0 seconds apart
and [team mention]
[photo]
how about this image for galleries?
the problem is that is it an art fair and not a gallery
but you can ask DD - because this not be literal
maybe cropped above?
too much ceiling
ok let's not give hime ideas hahaha
so now
we have to change thumbnail here
[photo]
[team mention]
in Vr we had this book flipping
[photo]
now it doesn't flip
does this look good?

when I click here i get the above error message

More than 3 random neons please in thumbs
If only 3 then the best 3! Ideally totally random from entire collection
Right now only 3. Please change
Reply to earlier message
but we are placing VR videos here instead so Ivan pls design this VR video viewer
part of Phase-2
so we will not show this [link redacted] at all
I think we can use the design of large image mode for videos
Reply to earlier message
maybe lets have this thumbnail for COLLECTORS EDITION vr video -
[photo]
More straight on image
Can’t see any image here
Reply to earlier message
so it looks less like a gallery
Reply to earlier message
but there will be no < > arrows
There is better than this let’s use Risky Landing in there a famous image to “entice”
Reply to earlier message
We did alt version, with arrows, liek in PRESS [development link] Arrows avaialble if article have more than one image Dan's paper as example And we can use exactly same template for videos
Maybe not this but something like this
Faster read.

why don't we put all these words that have quote (") or arrows in italic?

yes but when cms becomes normal
now it is like a woman

September 30, 2026
Please check these links to see if they work
[photo]
Seems like you have to click twice
morning
Link’d in have to sign in?
let me check
Васисуалий SM logos open pages only when i click 2x on them
and David you are logged in on your Linkdin app on your phone?
Not logged in this is for other people
But yet logged in I checked.
and when you click it takes you to your Li page?
Click you will see for yourself
All three links you have to click twice
Please only one time
Ok now all three work BUT have to be clicked on twice
Please only once:)
Reply to earlier message
i don't have Linkedin app on my phone :)
so it asks me to log in
we must check this
this is strange
and yes you're right
IG and TT must be clicked twice to react
David
Claude says this
The sign-in wall comes from LinkedIn's own servers, not from anything in the [domain redacted] website. It appears on both desktop and mobile because LinkedIn applies it to any visitor who is not logged in. A link, a setting, or a piece of code on David Drebin's site can't turn it off, and I won't suggest tricks to get around LinkedIn's login requirement.
One click only. Not sure solution to this log in issue
It is Linkedin rule
you must be logged into your Li account to check others
Sooooo how are we doing today;)??
Almost done with all the changes :)???
as I see we have
Can someone let me know these things I will check now
I guess I will have to repeat myself again…
Ideally would not have to.
I guess the most frustrating part for me is I have to repeat myself minimum 3 times
So every change I have to for three times
Much better work flow to only have to say once I think
1. galleries on home and in conversation on home to be put live 2. Move Collectors edition to Special project 3. Remove Special projects and add Drebinology with Heart on Fire thumbnail 4. Lenticulars - black background and check animations on all
Neons
[photo]
Totally random not these three
VR videos not Vr
This larger in thumb
[photo]
we enlarged it
you want it more enlarged?
More
Ok
Thanks bosssssss
David do you have some specific neons for thumbnails?
All of them rotated
Or is there only a certain amount?
Some don’t fit in the thumbnail box not sure I have to see
we'll rotate 'em all :)
Some may not fit in the thumbnail box I will know immediately
we'll check with Ivan

David Please confirm. Did you saw, and did not approved home galleries design?

this was yesterday
has something changed?
The concept was approved, but not final design. This is why I ask, did we approved these changes, with this design. Maybe David want to change something before we make this addition for website.
Arseni knows
Not sure the question here?

this is not a problem - or there is no good way to solve it
Ok
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] [team mention] [team mention] Mirjana I knew about that, when planned content structure.
[photo]
For such things we have description 1 "ARTWORK NAME"
we will all names with symbols like ampersands, apostrophe and any other symbols, in description
and simplified, without symbols in folder name
[team mention] [team mention] Mirjana and Mujtaba Website take folder name if first descriopton are empty. But if artwork name have such symbols, we should add full name in description
[photo]
and name without / changes symbols (and instead of ampersand) in section name
I fixed this thing for this artwork, but do this for next artworks, when you find it
now URL used SECTION NAME [link redacted] and artwork showing version with apostrophe
[photo]
[photo]
Mira - please add the stuff I sent you on ig to Special Projects so we are current ( is special projects same as news? This is my worry a bit)
Lose this section name!

This if anything should be called “Collectors Edition” never VR gallery!
Please ask me for approvals before these categories are uploaded that I didn’t approve pleeeeeeeeease love the team

How are we going to add content here in the future?
in additional cms collections section is blank ...
Ivan
I found it
and added the design but it looks strange

so i will turn it off and let you resize it and add it

Ivan ?
[team mention] [team mention] We can add images in video section too. The question only what exactly images we will show, and will they be good enough for that.
[team mention] Arseni if we have COLLECTORS edition videos. Should this section will be vaialble in menu, right?

valuable in what sense ?
I thought I miss that, and did not add it. But seems website make it right already
Faster transitions
[team mention] did you see how Google picked up old pages on mini websites that are like five years old? It could have happened on our old website [domain redacted], maybe check for David's most popular images and see if we now got broken links after we went live.
[link redacted] Yes [team mention] , I checked. Google has picked up several old /art/ mini-site pages, including pages from older campaigns, and they’re still live. I found 8 /art/ mini-site pages appearing in Google results, plus one Hidden Stars PDF. These pages are still live and contain artwork/inquiry functionality.

What have we decided on - 2 or 3 seconds for thumbs on all. Can I see?
Reply to earlier message
So if we want to add something new here, for example if I want to track twitter and twitter ask to add the script so do i need to create a new text section right ? The header note would be Twitter and then code.
When can VR be the videos? No VR please
When will Lenticulars on black be ready?
Video ends with this :
It just stays there. What else could just stay there instead of this
Or does this work? Arseni boss?
you said you don't want it to loop so it stays there until touched to be played again
Do you like this visual
why would people go to your site and watch video over and over again?
point is to move on :)
Or should there be a PLAY button so people know.
Is this the best visual
your logo?
Kinda looks like two competing logos. Should it be an image of play button or
I love how it ends on this but not sure I like as visual
This could be a better visual

Instead of :

but we already have all your books in the video
why repeating?
also video baron˛baron do not have play button

looks like this is easy to do in Claude / Codex

[team mention] the thing is that it was corrected on the new site especially Riviera Dreams but now it shows wrong title again
We also corrected line with sizes and editions

I copied most of them from the Asana ticket and everything was correct, suddenly something changed it. It must be a bug.

Because 100gb is not enough for us. You know the content on David's site is more than 100gb then the storage for code, databases and all that will require more storage.
David's site is not more than 100gb
Reply to earlier message
why the price skyrocketed after 100 GB ?
Reply to earlier message
Well currently the total storage the sites are using in dreamhost is ~150gb
This is what we have right now
Reply to earlier message
do you count junk as "David's site" ?
Reply to earlier message
So why sky rocket is because now we have double ram double storage plus 2 CDN

but we do not need this RAM. Cheaper to have 2 cheap servers for DD ?

generally yes
A dedicated page for Top selling art work will make it look it look better ? Avoid the Ai crown, but this type of things create exclusivity.
Reply to earlier message
it will not
Reply to earlier message
You dont like showing Top Sellers for art site or are you saying this because you want to avoid extra development ? Because I dont know how collectors purchase these arts. On of my uncle went to different place and purchased some but only when he was on a trip. So people like him doesnt care about Top Sellers.

why do we need to separate TOP SELLERS into a different category ?

Top Sellers are not limited to a specific category. They can include the best-selling works across all categories, or one top seller from each category.

But we want to implement custom thumbnails there
Thank you! Next is Lenticulars!
Now they are not custom

Custom? For what?
Yes to lenticulars!
So much better on black more consistent to website look
Lenticulars background has been changed to black using python. We did not redo lenticular a in 3D
Maybe black Frame gets lost on black a bit but this cannot be solved with python
What is python?
We need to change the thumb and have it random
A programming language we use to do some content with and almost anything else

Other findings: Superstar: inventory itself conflicts—its smaller size has edition labels ending in both /10 and /15. Night Flight, Misty Secrets, Diamond Crusher, Lips in Bubbles, The Money Shot, Sleepless in New York: website and inventory sizes differ. Love Is in the Air: an inventory edition-10 record has no size. Balloons Over NYC, Mermaid in Paradise: artwork identity needs confirmation before comparing editions. Drive Me Wild: also has reversed captions, but its website record is currently OFF.

Ivan could you maybe ask your codex to give me a list of correct corrections you finished so I don't miss anything and you don't miss anything. Maybe one sentence per correction and codex could look at your git at not just get but also code changes.
Faster transitions please
Is 5 seconds between images.
Needs to be same with all sections let’s see what is better : 2 seconds or 3 seconds Then apply to all sections
[team mention] Arseni All changes for last 7 days
[document]
Below is the consolidated summary for September 29–October 5, 2026. Each change appears only in its final form. The [complete handoff for your colleague and their AI]([local path redacted]) includes the 58 changed website files, implementation details, testing limitations, and production-transfer instructions. Mobile Stability - Home blocks load progressively in CMS order: current block and one following block first, then subsequent blocks near the viewport. - Added a separate loading controller, request timeouts/retries, and fallback rendering if the main animation bundle fails. - Offscreen slideshows and videos pause; inactive videos can release their media source where supported. - Corrected initial layout detection, missing-slide errors, dynamic ABOUT initialization, mobile VIDEO visibility, and slider touch handling. THE COLLECTIONS - Mobile section and home-cast cells follow CMS order. - Mobile slideshow scheduler interval: 1.5 seconds. Desktop remains 0.7 seconds. - Nearby cells initially prepare two media items. Additional media loads progressively, prioritizing visible cells. - Home-cast additional loading becomes eligible after home blocks finish loading or approximately 15 seconds of visible dwell. - Removed the SEE MORE utility cell from the home cast. - VIDEO sections appear in the menu in CMS order; redirect-thumbnail sections remain excluded. VIDEO Sections - Supports videos inside active nested CMS directories. - Closing returns to the correct origin: home cast or THE COLLECTIONS. - Added numbered direct media links. - description="VIDEO" plus description4="1" enables random entry, recent-selection history, and hidden desktop navigation arrows. Direct links still open their specified media. - Replaced native controls with DREBINOLOGY play/pause graphics and click/tap playback. - Added sound controls with separately remembered preferences for each section. - Disabled autoplay. The first active image in the video directory is an optional poster. - Poster and play icon fade together over 0.2 seconds; video loads behind them afterward. Poster disappears when playback starts. - Removed extra mobile spacing below the last media item. Home Casts - ABOUT uses the section’s biography content and matching paragraph flow; slideshow interval is 1.5 seconds. - GALLERIES slideshow opens its section; hover zoom and mobile blue tap highlight are removed. - Mobile BOOKS shows its first three items and SEE MORE BOOKS. - Mobile IN CONVERSATION hides its SEE MORE link and separator. - Desktop IN CONVERSATION shows three or two posts, each up to 300 px, separated by 50 px. - Its height follows the tallest post across the entire list. Matching site arrows are vertically centered; navigation advances one post. - Pagination uses groups of up to 12 dots, adjusts to visible-post count, and has a 25 px top margin. - Desktop autoplay is 7 seconds, resuming after 15 seconds without interaction; desktop timing is independent of mobile. - TESTIMONIALS media areas are 400 × 60 px, responsive on mobile. BOOKS/TESTIMONIALS dots are 6 px with 4 px gaps. - Signup popup is disabled on home; eligible other pages use a 4-second delay.
Final Spacings Location Final value Desktop home between blocks, total gap 130 px Mobile GALLERIES title → slideshow 50 px Mobile COLLECTIONS / ABOUT / BOOKS / IN CONVERSATION title → content 60 px Mobile IN CONVERSATION bottom → TESTIMONIALS gold line 90 px Mobile BOOKS last item → separator 50 px Desktop large media, including VIDEO and PRESS: above / below 70 px each Mobile DREBINOLOGY caption bottom inset / minimum side insets 16 px / 10 px Mobile DREBINOLOGY caption font / line height 9 px / 11 px Other Changes - Regular portfolios and PRESS support direct links to individual media in large mode; PRESS headings are uppercase. - STORY supports arbitrary sibling content blocks, each with its own graphics: zero files leaves graphics empty; one serves both layouts; first/second serve desktop/mobile; later graphics are ignored. - Mobile footer has a centered, jointly clickable arrow and label; arrow is shifted up 1 px. Pages shorter than 150% of viewport height, excluding footer, use a 70 px end spacer instead. - DREBINOLOGY bottom-gradient opacity is 0.95 on desktop and mobile. - Suppressed unwanted clickable-element outlines, tap highlights, and selection effects. - status="0" content and entire inactive directories are excluded. - Restored the deployed header’s CMS tracking include. - Separately removed the duplicate 2020s.svg record from five CMS metadata files in the specified directory only. Before Production This is a consolidated change record, not confirmation that every issue is resolved. The audit found a single-file random VIDEO reopening error that needs fixing. Android connection failures and final public-site poster behavior still require acceptance testing. Your colleague should merge reviewed code changes, not overwrite production with the local folder or dev CMS data.
Васисуалий [team mention]
why can't we have transitions of 3 seconds as he asked many times?
why he keeps talking about that?
just add to codex to transit thumbnails every 3 seconds in all sections that have that feature
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] Mirjana What transitions 3 second are you talking about? Slideshow in ABOUT section? Or something different?
no
The collections on the home page
I think list above keep these changes
Mobile slideshow scheduler interval: 1.5 seconds. Desktop remains 0.7 seconds.
we speed up slideshow, but timinsg should be different for desktop and mobile because we see many thumbs on desktop in same time, and only for on mobile
he is only interested in mobile as I see :)
yes, but we need to update all, to avoid mistakes and missed changes
Reply to earlier message
David pls see here what timing you prefer - [development link]

For me 1 sec is the best transition haha
2 seconds
David lets make it 2 seconds for mobile and leave as is for desktops ?

Yes for me its all good, TO THE BEGINNING is only showing when I scroll down to the bottom.
Lenticular needs to be three seconds and all the images rotating
Right now it is only two and transitions are too fast
Only the two panoramas are in the thumbs now
Make sure it’s all and slower the way it was yesterday worked
“About” needs to be two seconds transitions right now it’s at least 4 or 5 seconds
Here is the complete QA report with white, greay and black box testing. There are some small fixes left, I will do a MANUAL QA from my iPhone and Desktop tomorrow.
October 6, 2026
Васисуалий did you replace all interiors dd sent you yesterday? I saw you told him it took you 15 minutes but I will add 1 hr of maintenance
also let's not reveal to clients our real time of work...we can't invoice 15 minutes :)
Reply to earlier message
yes [team mention] and lets build this logic to Scope Ledger if it is not doing the invoice drafts well
Yes and I think we agreed on that long ago...every job is 1 hr
no matter it lasted 15 minutes
Anyone there?
See above please
Reply to earlier message
[team mention] Mirjana yes, I replaced all interiors which we got from David
and now he says that lentuculars need to transit every 3 sec or whatever it was yesterday
also he wants other lenticulars in thumbnail line
and his pics in about to transit 2 seconds
Reply to earlier message
Mirjana No any chanse Mobile version will be melted. It is better to choose several lenticulars, the most famous maybe, and use only them.
how many we can add so we don't melt mobile version?
Reply to earlier message
Do we have right timings in dev copy? Can we show dev copy, and ask about timings which applied for dev version?
and is it because we have 2 animations?
Reply to earlier message
3-4 if they will be web optimized. I will make this, just need to choose lenticulars
Reply to earlier message
Do you mean 2 lenticulars?
i mean behaviour
1- lenticular animation and 2.image line animation
no, different timings is not problem
the problem is too much content and a lot of animations, which wil load many additional files
smartpones, and mobile internet may be not ready for that
[video]
it is transitioning too fast
let's do 3 sec for lenticulars
Reply to earlier message
this should be not just lenticulars we can setup timings for video files, and separated for images
here we will setup 3 sec transitions for video files
did he see this dev?
let me check, and maybe setup timings, if this is not done yet
ok
[photo]
now I see, if setup such timings, this will change the slideshow ordering
all images will change every 2 sec
all videos every 3 sec
images will change together
ok just let me know when done to check
David About new timings If we setup 2 sec delay between transitions for images, and 3 sec for videos, this cancel the idea for random slideshow. All images will change every 2 sec together. And lenticulars will change every 3 sec. Same timings will be for mobile version, where we see up to 2 thumbnails in same time.
We can do test example, in dev copy, and show
Васисуалий please do books design for outro of home videos
yes, I remember about this, just making small changes for website content

This is done, just updated content
I see
Why are there only 2 images in previews? It was perfect before? What happened?
Look- most sections only two images in previews why does it revert like this? Can’t these changes be permanent until we change? Does site change itself?
Something was broken with update. No, it can change it by itself. We will fix the problem.
2 seconds please between image and setting too. Takes too long again
David Before we update live website, we testing changes in developer copy. Please see this link [development link] We fixed bug with two images, and setup 2 seconds between images Does it work good now for you?
[team mention] Arseni Let make big comparision between live website and dev copy. If we miss something, we need to update all missed things too.
let me speed up thumbnails more
[video]
Reply to earlier message
50 seconds timer is enough I think.
thsi mean what images in cell loaded longer, and first image remain 5 seconds, because next was in loading
How many total images are you going to add Васисуалий
we have a lot of images in many cells 10+ or sometimes about 20
so is it going to be 20 divided by 60 seconds if we want all the images to run with 1 minute ? 33 mili second per image ?
no, this will be just too long slideshow
[team mention] Arseni I made slideshow faster
[document]
It’s still 4 or 5 seconds between thumbnails
Less than one second in Neons
Needs to be consistent for all categories except Lenticulars
Still only two images rotating

David collection previews are set back to two seconds, except Lenticular, which is four seconds. I checked
I can fix several findings with small, targeted changes. I won’t change anything until you approve. What’s needed Stray \ under BACK IN A WHILE Yes—straightforward Remove only the stray size-field character; preserve both valid sizes and editions. Redundant INCH in HIGH RISK Yes—straightforward Change 39″ × 31″ INCH EDITION OF 10 to 39″ × 31″ EDITION OF 10. [domain redacted] label linking to Amazon.de Yes Confirm whether to keep the German destination and correct its label, or supply the intended US product link. Three broken/wrong podcast destinations Yes, once replacements are verified Find the correct public episodes. I cannot safely substitute guessed links. OPIO / Opiom mismatch Yes, after confirming the official name Correct only the affected heading or caption. Inconsistent edition separators Yes, if you want consistency Agree on one format first. Dimensions and edition numbers would remain unchanged. 99 images displayed above their source resolution Some, potentially Check each for an existing, correct higher-resolution variant. Missing originals must be supplied; enlarging a small file will not restore detail. Repeated News sentences Needs your editorial decision I cannot assume repetition is accidental or invent replacement copy. Repeated Press titles Needs confirmation They may represent different print/web articles. I would not delete or rename them based only on matching titles. I cannot yet certify or safely “fix” these from the existing evidence: - Whether every image depicts the correct artwork without an authoritative reference. - External websites that restrict access or time out—we cannot repair their servers. - Untested mobile layouts, artwork interactions or video playback. These need further testing before identifying fixes. - Form delivery without separately authorized testing that may create records or send emails. Safest first pass: remove the stray backslash and redundant INCH. Both are narrow content corrections. I would back up the exact affected records, change one item at a time, and verify the public result and surrounding content.
these are the required fixes from the QA I did yesterday. I did not fixed anything yet because [team mention] youre doing the changes and updates on Live site.

Remove only the stray size-field character, keep both valid sizes and editions Redundant INCH IN HIGH RISK - also straightforward. 39″ × 31″ INCH EDITION OF 10 becomes 39″ × 31″ EDITION OF 10. [domain redacted] label linking to Amazon.de - confirm whether we keep the German destination and fix the label, or you supply the intended US product link Three broken/wrong podcast destinations - yes, once replacements are checked. Find the correct public episodes. I can't swap IN guessed links. OPIO / Opiom mismatch - yes, after confirming the official name. Fix only the affected heading or caption Inconsistent EDITION separators - yes, if you want consistency. Agree on one format first, dimensions and EDITION numbers stay unchanged. 99 images displayed above their source resolution - some, potentially. Check each for an existing higher-resolution variant. Missing originals have to be supplied, enlarging a small file won't restore detail Repeated News sentences - your editorial decision. I can't assume repetition is accidental or invent replacement copy Repeated Press titles - needs confirmation. They may be different print and web articles. I wouldn't delete or rename them based only on matching titles. What I can't certify or safely "fix" from the existing evidence: whether every image shows the correct artwork without an authoritative reference External sites that restrict access or time out - we can't repair their servers. Untested mobile layouts, artwork interactions, video playback - these need more testing before I identify fixes. Form delivery without separately authorized testing that may create records or send emails Safest first pass: remove the stray backslash and the redundant INCH. Both are narrow content fixes. BACK up the exact affected records, change one item at a time, check the public result and surrounding content"
[team mention] could you show in screenshots Inconsistent EDITION separators ?

lets decide how to fix these fast
ask Codex to fix and screenshot AFTER each fix ?
Reply to earlier message
I just fixed only this one as I was on cms
Reply to earlier message
Yes I can do that was waiting for your approval, because you said first do changes on DEV then you will push the changes to live so thats why I didnt fixed these things yet.
Should I go ahead ?
Reply to earlier message
yes pls [team mention] . If easier you can have Codex show pairs BEFORE and AFTER as text - not screenshots

Lenticular works in development site not on main site

Good morning
This is for you to see the difference between WebP and a normal video - [link redacted]
Reply to earlier message
why do we need WebP ?
Reply to earlier message
Morning !
Reply to earlier message
WebP is loading faster, whenever I opened the browser WebP starts playing, Mp4 is taking some times, first the complete home page loads then the video shows the Logo then it starts playing.
Also WebP doesnt have music and the video dimension is different from the mp4
Reply to earlier message
Because its loading faster.
Reply to earlier message
yes but ALSO it always plays in BATTERY-SAVING mode
If you don't follow what's happening every day, this breaks Ivan will add the books screen to the video, it doesn't make it to the WEBP version, and David gets upset: why is the site changing all the time? : "I thought you added the books. Now I don't see the books" You see the complexity we are dealing with. I don't know how to solve this But what I can tell you: if something in the client chat doesn't make sense, ask. So you know every step we take and why we take it
Reply to earlier message
Yes I read about the slow internet connection that it will play in slow internet
Reply to earlier message
same about lenticular WebP versions

The last thumbnail is this one [link redacted] But maybe we can just take some one of previous articles with the strongest style, and make thumbnail which we will not change some time.
Slightly abrupt not sure solution

yes from phone too of course
if this worked before - it will work now
if it did not work before on the phone - it will not work now
So no to phone? Maybe best to use computer for this
of course best to use computer for this
But if you were able to do changes in the past on the phone, then why not do it now also on the phone?
I could never do in phone that was the issue

did you need to upload content from the phone too ?
Don’t need to but would be nice if I could but I can load I need team to load

Where would you have stepped in, and what could you have taken off my plate?
No unpaid homework. This is material to talk through, not an assignment.
A reported fix, a handoff and client acceptance are different states. The record preserves what people wrote; it adds no evaluation or inferred closure.
