Aamineez Art: portfolio website

The brief
The launch was a single message in a large local group chat. People would tap the link on their phones and decide in a few seconds whether the work was worth asking about. The site had to load fast, show the work first and make asking about a commission effortless.
What we did
- Put the work first. An image-led gallery with a full-screen viewer, so each piece can be seen up close on a phone.
- Kept the words short. An about section in the artist's own voice: how the practice started and what the work combines.
- Removed the friction. One "Inquire on WhatsApp" button with a message already written, so asking about a commission takes one tap.
- Stayed quiet. A minimal layout that lets the calligraphy carry the page.
