SB Captures

• Strapi for content: A no-fuss CMS so Sandis can manage galleries without touching code — upload, organize, publish.
• Nuxt frontend with GraphQL: The stack keeps things modular, and pages load as efficiently as the host allows.
• Mobile-first design: Built for real-world users, who are mostly on phones. Layouts scale smoothly across breakpoints.
• Handling large images & privacy: Sandis shoots high-res. That means optimizing load times, and making sure some galleries stay private behind passwords.

• Gallery loading with limits: Images are loaded per page to reduce initial weight — it helps, but yeah, a slow host still shows.
• Password-protected galleries: For private client work or personal collections — clean and easy to manage on both ends.
• Touch support: Custom gallery browsing that behaves right on mobile — swipe, tap, zoom — all native-feeling.
• Start to finish delivery: From sketching it out to deploying live and setting up the server — full delivery with long-term ownership in mind.

SB Captures isn’t perfect, but it’s real: a handcrafted site that does what Sandis needs without extra bloat. It balances control, privacy, and design in a way off-the-shelf solutions don’t. If the server holds up, it moves fast — and when it doesn’t, it still holds together.

Working with Maksims was an absolutely remarkable experience. We embarked on our project with just a concept, and I conveyed my vision for my website. Within a matter of weeks, I found myself immersed in a development environment where I could witness my ideas come to life. The entire communication process flowed effortlessly and seamlessly. Any necessary adjustments and bug fixes were promptly addressed without hesitation.
