Front-End Developer Needed for Fine Art Portfolio Website (PSD to Responsive HTML/CSS/JavaScript)

I am a New York-based artist who has spent over twenty years developing a unique body of scanner-based portrait photography. The website design has been carefully refined and is now ready for implementation. I'm looking for someone who appreciates thoughtful design and enjoys translating it faithfully into code.

Project Description

I am looking for a meticulous front-end web developer to build a responsive website from completed Photoshop (PSD) designs.

This is a portfolio for a contemporary artist. The design work has already been completed for both desktop and mobile. I am not looking for someone to redesign the site—I am looking for someone who enjoys translating carefully considered visual designs into an elegant, fast, responsive website.

The emphasis is on fidelity to the design, beautiful typography, excellent image presentation, smooth interaction, and clean implementation.

The site will be hosted on a standard EarthLink shared hosting account, so it should use lightweight HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript without unnecessary frameworks or server-side complexity.

Scope of Work

•Build the desktop version from completed PSD layouts.

• Build the mobile version from completed PSD layouts.

• Implement responsive behavior so the site performs well across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

• Implement swipe navigation on mobile while also supporting navigation through on-screen controls.

• Implement image enlargement (lightbox/modal) for selected artwork.

• Optimize artwork for fast loading while maintaining excellent image quality.

• Upload the completed website to my hosting account via FTP.

• Test thoroughly in current versions of Safari, Chrome and common mobile browsers.

• Provide a short post-launch period for minor refinements.

Site Overview

Desktop

• 6 primary pages

• 2 additional image/detail pages

• 8 total views

Mobile

• Approximately 15 swipeable pages

• Navigation adapted specifically for mobile viewing

Ideal Qualifications

I'm especially interested in someone who has built websites for:

• artists

• photographers

• museums

• galleries

• designers

• other visually driven clients

Please send links to websites you personally built that demonstrate careful typography, responsive layout and strong attention to visual detail.

Technical Requirements

• HTML5

• CSS3

• JavaScript

• Responsive implementation

• Image optimization (WebP, responsive images, lazy loading where appropriate)

• Lightbox/modal implementation

• Swipe navigation

Please Include

When responding, please tell me:

• Which portfolio websites you personally coded.

• Whether you've built websites directly from Photoshop or Figma files.

• Your experience with responsive image galleries.

• Your estimated timeline.

• Any questions you have after reading the project description.

Budget

$700–$1,200

Milestone payments through Upwork.

Note

Attention to detail is more important than speed. I would rather work with someone who enjoys refining small visual details than someone who rushes to finish!!!
