Grace Bungoni — Professional Model Portfolio

Live site: gbmodelling.com

1 | Client & Context

Grace Bungoni is a London-based fashion and commercial model who needed a fast, minimalist website to showcase high-resolution imagery and give brands an easy way to hire her.

2 | The Challenge

  • No single hub for organised images — agencies need quick access to downloadable shots.
  • No enquiry workflow — DMs get lost; brands expect a short form collecting shoot details up-front.
  • Mobile traffic > 70 % — the site had to load fast on 4G and feel friction-free on small screens.
  • DIY content control — Grace wanted to add new shoots without touching code.

3 | Solution at a Glance

ObjectiveImplementation
Portfolio-first design Custom Figma mock-ups → WordPress + Elementor build with full-bleed imagery, masonry gallery and swipe-friendly lightbox.
Instant booking path Dedicated “Book Me” page with twelve-field Gravity Form and autoresponder.
Speed & UX WebP images (lazy-loaded), critical-CSS inlined, Cloudflare CDN. LCP < 1.5 s (mobile).
Simple content updates Custom Elementor templates + ACF fields; Loom walkthrough lets Grace add new looks in minutes.
Local & industry SEO Meta-title: “Grace Bungoni | UK Fashion & Commercial Model”; keywords for “London model portfolio” and “book a fashion model”.

4 | Our Process

  1. Discovery & Mood-board — analysed competitor model sites; agreed on an editorial look.
  2. UX Wireframes — mapped a 5-page structure (Home, Portfolio, About, Book Me, Press).
  3. High-fidelity Design — delivered Figma mock-ups; Grace approved in one round.
  4. Development — built a lightweight Elementor child-theme, integrated Cloudflare, configured SEO.
  5. Launch & Training — staged launch, final tweaks, live DNS switch; 12-min Loom walkthrough for the client.

5 | Early Outcomes

First 8 weeks:

  • 13 qualified booking enquiries via the form.
  • 2 new agency approaches citing the site as “clear and professional”.
  • Avg. session duration 2 min 45 s (higher engagement vs. IG link-in-bio).
  • PageSpeed: 94 / 99 (mobile / desktop).

6 | Tech & Tools

  • WordPress + Elementor child-theme
  • Gravity Forms + reCAPTCHA v3
  • Cloudflare CDN & APO
  • Autoptimize (critical CSS & JS deferral)
  • ACF + Custom Post Types (Shoot, Press, Testimonial)

7 | Next Steps

  • Add Press / Testimonials page once current editorials publish.
  • Roll out bilingual version (EN + IT) for broader European castings.
  • Hook form submissions into CRM via Make.com; monitor conversions in GA4.
