Since 1999, in order
The first website we sold cost $100. The rest of the history, in dated order.
The first website we sold cost $100. We keep the buyer anonymous. We kept the number.
The work started in 1999, before the studio had a name. The rest goes in order.
- 1999: the work starts
- June 2000: licensed as Turbo Gold
- 2006: renamed Artasce
- Now: still shipping
Two names, one licence
Turbo Gold came first, in June 2000. In 2006 the studio became Artasce. The word is art plus ascend, with the ending dropped. The name has not changed since.
One licence, two names, and a long habit of shipping.
This site is the studio’s own page, with the history, the philosophy and the portfolio. There are no prices on it and no forms.
What the dates turned into
The portfolio runs from a lawn care app to a video game site.
A lawn care app
Has to work for someone standing in a driveway.
A video game site
Has to look right to the people who play.
The same studio made both. Alongside the client work, we run Mademoiselle, Modolla and Voya side by side. Some of what we ship is ours, so we live with it.
If you have seen one of our demos, you have seen what we make.
The next question is usually shorter.
Are there real people behind it, and how long have they been at it?
The dates answer that. 1999, 2000, 2006. The same work under two names, still going.
Will this site ask me for a price or a form?
No. It is the studio’s own page, with the history, the philosophy and the portfolio. There are no prices on it and no forms.
Here is the work. Most of it is still live.
