I designed and built Grey-Volcano.com as a minimal, high-impact portfolio for contemporary photography and mixed-media work by Stanislav Pospelov. The site emphasizes large, immersive imagery, fast loading, and clear categorization (Photography / Mixed Media / Abstract) so visitors can browse without friction.

The artist needed a portfolio that showcased images at editorial quality while staying fast on mobile, easy to update, and uncluttered—no heavy navigation, no distractions, and a simple way to switch between photography and mixed-media bodies of work.

A gallery-first site with edge-to-edge imagery, lightweight motion, and category filters. The layout is deliberately calm (ample negative space, restrained palette) so the work leads. Content is modeled in a CMS for quick series uploads, and images are processed in multiple sizes for crisp retina rendering without sacrificing speed.

Content model — collections → series → images, with fields for title, year, medium, and captions.

UX & visual system — grid rhythm for both Photography and Mixed-Media views; tap-friendly filters; keyboard navigation on desktop.

Build — responsive gallery with lazy-loading, prefetch on hover, and accessible focus states.

Performance & SEO — image CDN, next-gen formats, semantic markup, and Open Graph for clean shares.

Launch — analytics wiring, 404/redirects, and a publishing checklist for the artist.

Category filters: All / Photography / Mixed Media / Abstract for quick discovery.

Immersive lightbox with caption/medium metadata.

Ultra-fast galleries (lazy images, priority preloads for hero works).

CMS authoring: drag-drop ordering, auto alt-text template, scheduled publish.

Design & build: 3–4 weeks (including content migration and QA).

Work-first minimalism: the site disappears and the images speak.

Speed without compromise: editorial-quality images with sub-2s mobile loads.

Creator-friendly: the artist can publish new series in minutes.
