UPDATE: since I have not found an answer yet, I edit the post with new infos and more focused questions. I hope I’ll find help.
I need help because I’m going to start my first real world project for a friend, an illustrator who is at the beginning of her career.
What the illustrator wants:
The illustrator would like a portfolio website, initially without shop (but in the future we’ll add it, i think). The structure will be something classic, 4 pages with Home, About me, Contacts and Works. The relevant part will be the works section, since it will be a classic grid with illustratino.
My question:
What I would like to do, is that she can add new works without my help. So, if she has a new project with planty illustration, she can transfer these works and the site will automatically upload this images. My question is, which way I should I do to do this?
My idea:
I was thinking, that in the work section with illustration, it’s composed by cards, with the same structure but different content. I noticed, that in my Drum Machine Project (and also in Calculator) I render some buttons, which are different for contents but equal for structure, and they take data from an array of objects (you can see that here https://codepen.io/NicoCastel/pen/vYdexwr, line 72). I imagined, that this could be possibile also in a HTML page with a script which calls a collection, which is the file that it will be updated with the images. Is it possible or just my mind that went too far? How much would be hard to do, considering my skills?
My Skill level:
I work with HTML, CSS and jS, and I’m actually working on React projects and frequenting a DOM manipulation course. I’ve been learning for 7 months.
WordPress and other CMS:
I read that this is possible and easy with WordPress, but actually I don’t like so much it. But in case you suggest that for now would be, the best solution, I would reconsider it. I know that WordPress is based on php, that I don’t know. Would be a good and easy alternative Strapi, which I read that is based on jS?
