Modern Minimalist Art Portfolio

I want my creative work—mainly photography and mixed-media art—to live on a clean, modern and minimalistic website that feels as curated as the pieces themselves. The URL below is only a temporary staging link; what I need now is a polished, production-ready build that showcases the portfolio beautifully on every device.

Scope
• Design a sleek, clutter-free layout that lets images take centre stage.
• Build responsive pages (home, gallery with lightbox, about, contact).
• Ensure fast load times through image optimisation and lightweight code.
• Add an easy way for me to update or add new work—Markdown, simple CMS, or well-commented HTML is fine as long as it stays minimal.
• Deploy to Netlify (or migrate smoothly to another host if that proves better).

Essential Deliverables
1. Fully functional website matching the modern, minimal aesthetic.
2. Source files (HTML/CSS/JS or React/Vue) with clear structure and comments.
3. Instructions for adding future artwork and maintaining the site.
4. Final deployment live at my custom domain, error-free and performance-tested.

Acceptance Criteria
• Visual consistency with a neutral colour palette, generous white space, and intuitive navigation.
• Mobile, tablet and desktop breakpoints tested across major browsers.
• Gallery images load under 2 s on 4G, scoring 90+ on Google Lighthouse performance.
• All links, forms and lightbox interactions function flawlessly.

If this concise, image-first portfolio sounds like your kind of build, I’m ready to review your approach and timeline.
