##NOTE: We already have the content for these pages. The developer / designer will just incorporate it.

Portfolio
It will be a filterable justified gallery. Filtered by category, location, or year. The thumbnails will have a 2 line caption beneath. The first line will be the title of the project. The second line will show the Place of the project & Category of the project.

By Clicking on any image, it will go to that Project Page of the image. So, it means that every image will have a Project Page.

This Project Page shall be a scrollable page with two sections.
• The first section shall be the full screen image of the thumbnail last clicked.
• The second section shall have a slideshow of other images of the project and a factsheet along with the slideshow.
• On clicking any of these images, it will display the full screen slideshow.
The Content Management Console should have the possibility to add pages and its images alongwith the text. There should be no need to do any coding. We should be able to update the content on our own.

• Embedded Google Map showing office location.

Pre-loader
