I need a clean, responsive portfolio website whose sole focus is to showcase my work through a visually appealing image gallery. The layout should feel modern, load quickly on both desktop and mobile, and make my projects the centrepiece without unnecessary clutter. Core requirement • An integrated image gallery that lets visitors browse projects smoothly, with light-box style enlargements and clear captions. Beyond that, I am open to your suggestions regarding colours, typography, and subtle interactive touches that fit a professional creative portfolio. If you think a simple contact form or a lightweight blog section would elevate the site, let me know—those add-ons can be discussed, but the gallery remains the priority. Please build the site on a platform or framework you are most comfortable with (HTML/CSS/JS, WordPress, React, or a comparable solution), provided the final product is easy for me to update in the future and does not lock me into proprietary tools. Optimisation for SEO basics, accessibility best practices, and fast page speeds are expected. When you respond, tell me how you will structure the gallery, which tech stack you prefer, and approximately how long you’ll need from kickoff to hand-over.
