                        <p>
                            Notre projet en vue de créer un réseau social unique pour graphistes et artistes talentueux a échoué. Commencé en 2004, notre but était de créer un lieu unique pour les graphistes et artistes afin qu’ils puissent se rapprocher, partager et s’inspirer mutuellement, et interagir entre eux ainsi qu’avec leurs fans sur la scène mondiale. Notre plateforme a donné les moyens aux graphistes les plus talentueux de présenter leurs œuvres artistiques lors de concours de designs, et l’opportunité de les vendre par le biais de notre plateforme à des milliers de clients.
                        </p>
                        <p>
                            Nous avons reçu de très bons retours de la part de la presse, et des blogueurs de France et d’Allemagne ont soutenu nos efforts. En 2013, nous avons optimisé notre plateforme, lancé une production à la demande de premier ordre et nous nous sommes aventurés à relancer la plateforme existante en s’ouvrant à une communauté mondiale dédiée à la création.
                        </p>

                        <p>
                            Malgré tous nos efforts pour redonner à laFraise sa gloire d’antan, nous avons dû nous rendre à l’évidence : nous étions incapables de renverser la tendance, qui était à la baisse constante. Tout cela nous a mené à prendre la triste décision d’abandonner le combat et mettre fin au projet laFraise. Nous souhaitons remercier tous les graphistes, artistes et clients qui se sont engagés au fil des ans pour laFraise. Tous les designs que nous avons vus sur laFraise resteront gravés dans nos mémoires.

                        <p>
                            Our project of getting a unique social network for graphic designers and artists off the ground has failed. Originating in 2004, it was our goal to create a home for graphic designers and artists to connect, share, inspire, and interact with each other and their fans globally. Our platform has empowered the most talented designers to submit their artwork to our design contests, thereby receiving a chance to sell their designs through our platform to thousands of customers.
                        </p>
                        <p>
                            We received awesome feedback from the press, and bloggers from France and Germany have supported our endeavours. In 2013, we optimized the platform, launched a top notch print-on-demand production and ventured the re-launch of the existing platform while reaching out to a global community for creative people.
                        </p>
                        <h3>
                            The end
                        </h3>
                        <p>
                            Despite our efforts to return laFraise to its former glory, we had to face the fact that we were unable to turn around the constant downward trend. All of this led us to the sad decision to give up the fight and put an end to the laFraise project. We’d like to thank all designers, artists and customers who were engaged with laFraise over the years. All the the memories and the great designs that we saw at laFraise are very dear to us.
