Digital platforms for culture
B&BY is a boutique digital studio specialising in enterprise-grade web platforms for artists, cultural institutions, and contemporary art organisations. We design, build, and maintain the digital infrastructure that makes great work visible.
From architecture to deployment, we handle the full digital lifecycle so institutions can focus on their work.
Live examples of what B&BY delivers for the cultural field — from solo artist platforms to multi-project art organisations.
A fully editorial artist website functioning as both a commercial gallery and a living archive. The platform covers drawing, painting, sculpture, performance, photography, and video — with a built-in shop, exhibition tracking, and a subscription model. Deployed on IONOS with custom DNS and SSL.

B&BY is a Montreal-based digital platform studio founded to serve one specific need: giving artists and cultural organisations the same quality of digital infrastructure that enterprise clients take for granted.
We believe great cultural work deserves great digital presence. Too often, artists and institutions settle for generic templates or platforms that don't reflect the depth of their practice. B&BY was created to close that gap — offering enterprise-grade strategy, design, and development specifically calibrated to the cultural sector.
Our clients range from solo artists who need a durable professional platform to art organisations running bilingual programming, residencies, and international partnerships. In every case, we treat the platform as a long-term asset — not a one-time deliverable.
We manage full technical infrastructure: domain registration, DNS configuration, SSL certificates, hosting environments, and ongoing maintenance. We work primarily through IONOS for domain and hosting management, ensuring reliable, professionally administered infrastructure for every client.
Whether you're an artist needing a first professional platform, or a cultural organisation ready to overhaul your digital presence, we'd like to hear from you.
We take on a small number of new clients each year to ensure the quality and continuity of our partnerships.
