Full custom WordPress theme built from scratch for Dandelion Soul Studio, a photography and creative business. The brief was clean, editorial, and fast — zero page builder, custom post types for sessions and galleries, and a client portal integration using ManskiPort.
The design prioritized large imagery with restrained typography. Performance was a hard requirement: the site consistently scores 95+ on PageSpeed Insights mobile. Built with custom PHP templates, CSS custom properties, and no JavaScript dependencies beyond the theme’s own script.
