Portfolio and Gallery Layouts

Responsive Grid Layouts

• Use CSS Grid for gallery layouts: grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr))
• Flexbox for flexible card layouts
• Adjust columns per breakpoint:

- Mobile (< 768px): 1-2 columns - Tablet (768px-1024px): 2-3 columns - Desktop (> 1024px): 3-4 columns

Image Optimization

• Use picture element for art direction
• Lazy load with: loading="lazy"
• Size images appropriately (max 200KB for thumbnails)
• Use WebP with JPG fallback

Portfolio Card Structure

<div class="portfolio-card">
  <div class="image-wrapper">
    <img src="thumb.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Project name">
  </div>
  <div class="card-content">
    <h3>Project Title</h3>
    <p>Description</p>
    <a href="#">Learn More</a>
  </div>
</div>

Hover/Animation Effects

• Use CSS transitions for smooth effects
• AOS (Animate On Scroll) library integration
• Parallax effects on hero sections
• Keep animations under 300ms for responsiveness

Gallery Best Practices

• Maintain consistent aspect ratios across gallery
• Provide loading states for images
• Include alt text for all images
• Consider using modal/lightbox for full-size views
• Implement filter/sort functionality for large portfolios
