Strapi Portfolio Site Development

I’m starting from a clean slate and need a developer who can build an elegant portfolio site on Strapi CMS. The goal is to showcase my work through a well-structured image gallery, invite enquiries with a simple yet reliable contact form, and reinforce credibility via a dedicated testimonials section—all managed easily through Strapi’s content-modeling interface.

You’ll set up the Strapi backend, create the necessary content types for projects, images, testimonials, and messages, and wire them to a modern frontend of your choice (React, Next.js, Nuxt, or similar). Clean code, modular components, and clear documentation are essential so I can extend the site later without headaches.

Deliverables:
• Strapi project with content types and role-based permissions configured
• API endpoints ready for gallery items, testimonials, and contact-form submissions
• Frontend integrated with the Strapi APIs, fully responsive and SEO-friendly
• Deployment instructions (Docker, Vercel, Netlify, or a straightforward VPS script)
• Brief walkthrough or screencast showing how to add new portfolio pieces and manage testimonials

Acceptance criteria:
1. I can upload new work, add captions, and reorder items directly in Strapi.
2. The contact form delivers enquiries to my email without exposing credentials.
3. Testimonials display seamlessly and can be toggled on/off per entry.
4. Lighthouse scores remain in the green for performance and accessibility.
