01 / THE BRIEF

A portfolio with a point of view

The source was the approved V5 HTML prototype: oversized typography, a restrained red and paper palette, personal story sections, and subtle scroll-led motion. The task was to carry that direction into Contao while making its pages and content manageable in the CMS.

02 / THE BUILD

Designed to stay close to the source

The local site uses a dedicated Contao layout, template-based editorial sections, separate page content, internal project links, and a native Contao form configuration. The JavaScript has guarded page-specific enhancements, keyboard-aware navigation, reduced-motion support, touch-safe cursor behavior, and a still mode at ?motion=off.

03 / CURRENT STATE

A review build, with real inputs still needed

This local build includes the portfolio itself as its first honest case study. No client outcomes, personal photographs, or additional projects have been invented. The biography remains an identified draft. Contact delivery still needs a confirmed recipient and SMTP settings before the form can be enabled.
