Simple Portfolio Website Design Needed

I’m looking for a web designer who can craft a clean, visually engaging site that lets me showcase my design, art, and photography work. The core requirement is a dedicated portfolio or projects page capable of displaying high-quality images, brief captions, and, ideally, a lightbox or similar feature so visitors can view pieces without leaving the page.

I want the site to load quickly, look great on mobile and desktop, and be easy for me to update later (WordPress, Webflow, or a lightweight static build are all fine—use whichever you’re most comfortable with). If you feel an accompanying home, about, or contact section would improve flow, we can discuss adding them, but the portfolio display is the absolute priority.

Please send a short note on how you would approach the design, what platform you suggest, and a couple of links to similar work you’ve done. Once we agree on the direction, I’ll provide the artwork and any copy needed so you can move straight into development and launch.
