Shilpakala — A curated digital gallery giving regional artisans a place to be seen.

Goals

  • Give regional artisans a curated surface instead of scattered social posts.
  • Keep the site fast on low-bandwidth mobile connections.
  • Require no backend, so any collective can host it for free.
  • Put the artwork, not the interface, in front of the visitor.

Approach & architecture

  1. 1

    Image-first layout

    A responsive gallery grid where artwork fills the viewport and chrome stays minimal.

  2. 2

    Performance

    Lazy loading and compressed assets keep first paint quick on slow connections.

  3. 3

    Zero backend

    Pure static HTML, CSS and JavaScript, deployable to any static host or GitHub Pages.

  4. 4

    Portability

    Content lives in simple markup so a non-developer can swap in a new collection.
