Cheshire Renovation

We needed a clear way to share several planned home renovations with contractors. Each project had its own scope, existing conditions, reference images, and questions. A single web portfolio could put that information in one place before anyone prepared an estimate, without adding a backend to maintain.

I used rapid prototyping and iterative AI-assisted development to move from the practical need to a working site. Clear direction and repeated feedback kept the build focused: make the projects easy to understand, make the photos easy to inspect, and make the next step obvious. AI compressed the implementation cycle; responsive layout, content structure, and deployment choices still needed deliberate decisions.

The site uses Next.js App Router, React, and TypeScript, with Tailwind CSS for the visual system. Project content lives in structured data rather than being repeated across components. Reusable project cards open detailed scopes and image galleries, while a mobile menu handles smaller screens. A static export produces the deployable files for Cloudflare Pages. Interactive components run in the browser; the site does not need a Node server or database. Images are served as static assets, without a server-side image optimizer.
