The Challenge

A filmmaker needed a portfolio they could update themselves — add new projects, change their bio, upload showreels — without knowing any code. The site also needed a working contact form that actually delivered messages to the client's inbox.

The Solution

• Custom PHP backend with a clean admin dashboard — the client adds projects through a simple form, and the site updates automatically
• SMTP-integrated contact form that sends emails directly to the client's inbox — no third-party service dependency
• Responsive design tested on phones, tablets, and desktops — a filmmaker needs their work to look good everywhere
• Project showcase with video embeds, image galleries, and production credits

Key Decisions

• Custom PHP over WordPress — the client needed a simpler, purpose-built dashboard, not a full CMS

Results

• Client updates their portfolio independently — new projects go live in minutes
• Contact form delivers every message reliably
• Works on all devices — mobile-friendly portfolio that looks professional everywhere
