Portfolio site for an independent professional

The problem

A hypothetical freelance designer has a portfolio on a builder platform that is slow on mobile and costly to keep.

Proposed approach

1. Plan a short structure: work, about, services and contact.
2. Build a static site with optimised images and a content file per project.
3. Add a spam-protected contact form and privacy-friendly analytics only with consent.
4. Document how to add a project in a few steps.

Main components

• Static site generator
• Image optimisation pipeline
• Contact form backend
• Simple content editing workflow

What we would measure

In a real engagement we'd agree these measures and baselines with the client before starting.

• Page load performance on mobile
• Ease of adding a new project (time taken by the owner)
