Approach & architecture

Image-first layout
A responsive gallery grid where artwork fills the viewport and chrome stays minimal.

Performance
Lazy loading and compressed assets keep first paint quick on slow connections.
- 3
Zero backend
Pure static HTML, CSS and JavaScript, deployable to any static host or GitHub Pages.
- 4
Portability
Content lives in simple markup so a non-developer can swap in a new collection.
