Portfolio Website with Showcase Gallery -- 2

I need a clean, modern portfolio site whose focal point is a visually engaging Work Samples / Gallery section. The site should load quickly, look polished on desktop and mobile, and allow me to add or replace projects without touching code every time.

Core requirements
• One-page or multi-page layout is fine as long as navigation feels intuitive.
• The gallery must highlight each project attractively—think responsive image grid, lightbox, or any creative approach you recommend.
• Smooth scrolling, subtle animations, and crisp typography are welcome, but performance takes priority over heavy effects.
• Please wire the contact details and social links of my choice so potential clients can reach me directly.
• Hand-off must include all source files plus easy update instructions (WordPress, Webflow, React, or a lightweight custom solution—open to your suggestion).

I’ll provide branding assets, copy, and project images once we start. If this sounds like your kind of build, tell me which tech stack you prefer and show a couple of similar portfolios you’ve produced.
